CHESTER H. HARROUN, D. D. S., M. D.
Among the professional men of Toledo, none stands higher than
Chester H. Harroun. He is one of the leading dentists
of the city, and has resided here since 1853, being widely and
favorably known throughout the city and surrounding country.
The Doctor is a native of the Empire State, having been born in
Genesee County, in 1829, and is a son of David, Jr., and
Clarissa (Dodge) Harroun. The father, a native of
Herkimer County, N. Y. and a farmer by occupation, afterward removed
to Genesee County, N. Y., where he met and married his wife.
He came with his family to Lucas County, Ohio, in 1835, and located
on a farm near Toledo, where he spent the remainder of his days,
departing this life at the age of sixty-nine years. His wife
survived him many years, having reached the venerable age of
eighty-four years before crossing over to the beautiful shore
beyond.
The ancestors of Dr.
Harroun were Scotch-Irish, and came to America in a very
early day, settling in Massachusetts. There were three
brothers on the paternal side, and during the Revolutionary War they
distinguished themselves as brave men and expert Indian fighters.
David Harroun, the grandfather of our subject, had
numberless adventures and hairbreadth escapes, and used to relate
many anecdotes to amuse the children which were interesting to both
young and old.
The home of our subject
was in New York until he was five years of age. At this time
his parents removed to Ohio, and located in this county. He
attended the public schools in his boyhood, and later entered
Sylvania Academy, at Sylvania, Ohio, where he finished his
education. After leaving the schoolroom he entered the office
of Dr. F. E. Bailey, a prominent physician of
Sylvania, and began reading medicine with him. He remained
under the Doctor's instruction for two years, and by that time,
having mastered the art of dentistry, he opened an office in
Sylvania, where he practiced his profession for one year, and then
moved to Toledo, where he has since remained.
Being comparatively a young man on first coming to this place, the
Doctor's professional career has grown with the city, and his
practice has increased with his years. After forty years of
faithful work in one place, he stands at the head of his profession,
and is one of the most prominent dentists in northwestern Ohio.
His career has been an enviable one; his practice is large and
lucrative, extending over a vast area of territory, and he has the
well deserved confidence and esteem of the people.
Dr. Harroun was united in marriage, in 1854, with
Miss Emily J., a daughter of Aaron and
Emira (Dow) Cadwell, of New York. Two children have
blessed this union: David A., a dentist in this
city; and Robert E., now a member of the fire
department. Mrs. Harroun is a lady of culture
and refinement, and the family occupies a high position in the
social circles of Toledo. Their attractive residence is
located at No. 829 Superior Street, and is the home of hospitality,
where their many friends are always welcome.
Professionally the Doctor is identified with a number of societies,
being a member of the American Dental Association, the Ohio State
Dental Society and the Michigan State Dental Society.
Politically he is a stanch Republican, taking an active interest in
all political questions, and in all local enterprises pertaining to
the improvement of the community in which he lives.

ADAM HINDS
has cleared and improved a farm of eighty acres on section 8,
Webster Township, Wood County, and is still making his home thereon.
He is a loyal Republican, and has frequently held township offices
of honor and responsibility, among others those of Trustee,
Supervisor and School Director. He fought and suffered in the
defense of the Old Flag during the late civil conflict, and has
since been a member of the Grand Army of the Republic.
He enlisted at the beginning of the war, and was discharged at its
close, July 24, 1865, just four years less than one month from the
date of entering the service.
The father of our subject, David Hinds was born
in Vermont, as was also his wife, who before her marriage was
Philana McCarroll. Their family comprised fifteen
children, as follows: Margaret, David, John, Betsy, Lydia,
Daniel, Eliza, Adam, William, Martin, Margaret, Deborah, Lavinia,
Philander, and one who died in infancy. Of this large
family but three now survive, those besides our subject being
John, a farmer of Barry County, Mich., and Lavinia, widow
of Addison Loomis and now a resident of Cleveland, Ohio.
The father of this family, who was a soldier in the War of 1812,
took part in the battle of Plattsmouth, and fought under
Commodore Perry, being wounded by a minie-ball. His life
occupation was that of farming, and this he successfully followed in
his native state, in New York and in Ohio. He came to the
buckeye State in 1844, but passed his last years in Barry County,
Mich., where he died in 1872, when in his seventy-fifth year.
Adam Hines was born in St. Lawrence County, N.
Y., May 3, 1831, and was reared to farm labor. when seven
years old he removed to Jefferson county, N. Y., and in the fall of
1844 came with his parents to this state. In 1845 he went to
Michigan, and continued to live there for three years. Since
he reached his eighteenth year he has been independent and
self-sustaining. In 1852 he came to Wood County and purchased
eighty acres of wild land on section 8, Webster Township. He
erected a plank shanty, and with energy set to work to clear the
land from the thick forests with which it was covered.
Feb. 10, 1851, Mr. Hinds married Clarinda Van
Gilder, by whom he had two children, Edward N. and Charles.
The present wife of our subject was before her marriage Miss
Caroline Stevins, their union being celebrated Jan. 2, 1866.
Mrs. Hinds was born in Delaware County, Ohio, Feb. 22, 1839.
and in 1865 came to Wood County. Three children came to bless
their home. Fred married Daisy Smith and lives
in Webster Township; Ralph S. and Earl are still
living with their parents.
August 24, 1861, Adam Hines enlisted as a
private in Company K, Twenty-first Ohio Infantry, being mustered in
at Findlay. He was sent to Camp Dennison, and his first
engagement was that of Ivy Mountain. Few soldiers from this
part of the state took part in more noted battles or more important
campaigns, and among others in which he was actively concerned we
mention the following: Nashville, Huntsville (Ala.), Stone
River, Chickamauga, Chattanooga, Mission Ridge, Resaca, Dallas,
Jonesboro, Savannah, Bentonville, Kennesaw Mountain, Peach Tree
Creek and New Hope Church. While on picket duty in North
Carolina a rebel dressed in Federal uniform rode up to within eight
paces of him and fired a revolver, the bullet striking Mr. Hinds
above the left eye. This memento of war days he still carries,
as it has never been deemed wise to extract it. He was
discharged at the close of the war with the rank of Corporal.

ALLEN K. HOFF, manager of the
Colton Manufacturing Company's retail store. No.
326 Summit Street, Toledo, is a gentleman of well known business
ability, and is rapidly building up a fine trade for the concern
with which he is connected. Socially he is a member of the
Toledo Traveling Men's Association, and was its second Vice
President until he handed in his resignation in 1894. He is a
stanch Republican, and a man who takes correct views of his duties
as a citizen, and fulfills them to the extent of his ability.
A native of New York State, our subject was born in Union Springs,
Cayuga County, November 14, 1853, his parents being John and
Melissa (Howell) Hoff. The father was born in Nassau,
Rensselaer County, N. Y., and during the late War of the Rebellion
was a faithful and valiant soldier of the Rebellion was a faithful
and valiant soldier in Company K, One Hundred and Eleventh New
York Infantry.
Allen K. Hoff
was reared to farm duties, and during the regular terms of
school pursued his studies in the district adjacent to his home
until he was fifteen years of age. Later he entered Oakwood
Seminary, and after leaving that institution started out to make his
own livelihood, his first employment being as clerk in a general
store at Union Springs.
About this time
Mr. Hoff married Miss Fannie M. Horton,
who was born in Rensselaer County, N. Y., her father, George
Horton, being a resident of Poestenkill, Rensselaer County,
in the same state. The marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Hoff
has been blessed by the birth of one son, Seymour H.
Soon after his marriage Mr. Hoff removed with his
bride to this city and obtained a clerkship in a furniture store.
For some time thereafter he was employed by the American Express
Company, and we then find him with the wholesale grocery firm of
Ketcham, Bond & Co., afterward with Cray & Rood,
dealers in saddlery and hardware, and later with Whitaker & Co.
For the next five years he was a traveling salesman for the
wholesale hardware firm of McIntosh, Huntington & Co.,
of Cleveland, Ohio. In April, 1894, he was made manager of the
Gurney Market Company, of which he was also the President, and later
he accepted his present position. He and his wife occupy a
comfortable home at No. 32 West Woodruff Avenue.

FRANK O. HUNT,
M. D. The noble profession of medicine affords to the
student of that science a never-ending source for investigation and
experiments. New remedies are constantly being discovered, a
steady progress is being made in surgery, and new diseases are
presenting themselves under varying forms of civilization.
Whatever may be said of the discoveries in other fields of knowledge
(and certainly they are astonishing), it can truthfully be said of
this science that not one can equal it in the great strides it is
making toward a comprehensive grasp of the whole subject of man in
relation to health and disease—the prevention and cure of the ills
that the flesh is heir to. In the noble army of workers in this
great field, Dr. Hunt takes a prominent place. He is a
native of Iowa, and was born in Sidney in 1869. His parents,
Horace W. and Fannie (Owen) Hunt, are natives of the Buckeye
State, and reside in Toledo at the present time.
Dr. Hunt came to Toledo with his parents when
quite young, and received his early training in the public schools
of this city. At the age of fifteen years he commenced the
study of medicine under Dr. C. H. Reed, a prominent physician
of Toledo. Dr. Reed was a gentleman and a
scholar, one well qualified to give instruction in the science of
medicine, and after a few years spent in the office of this worth}-
physician our subject was prepared to enter the Northwestern Ohio
Medical College, where he attended lectures for a period of three
years. He was graduated from that institution in 1891, and
immediately after commenced the practice of medicine in the home of
his youth.
The Doctor has met with flattering success in his
chosen calling, and gives abundant evidence of the ability which
qualifies him for a high place in the medical profession. The
important position of Demonstrator of Anatomy in the Toledo Medical
College he has held since 1894. He is also one of the
examiners of the Prudential Insurance Company, a member of the Lucas
County Medical Society, and is also identified with the society of
Foresters of Toledo.
In 1892 Dr. Hunt was united in marriage
with Miss Mary, a daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Lehman,
prominent citizens of Toledo. Two children have blessed the
union of Dr. and Mrs. Hunt, Sheldon and Roy.
Their residence is located at No. 911 Cherry Street, where their
many friends receive a warm and hearty welcome.
The Doctor is a genial, affable gentleman, a physician
who has applied himself conscientiously to his profession, and the
distinction he enjoys is richly deserved. He is popular both
in and out of his profession, and, being young in years, has every
prospect of becoming a leading light in the medical world.
