S., representing the dental profession at Niles, Ohio, is a native of Columbiana county, Ohio, born Apr. 29, 1842.  He is the son of Henry Unger, native of the above county.  The grandfather was Jacob Unger, born in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, who became one of the early settlers in Ohio.  He was of German descent.  Dr. Unger's mother was Susan Bright, daughter of Jacob Bright, of German extraction.  She was born in Columbiana county, Ohio, and was married to Mr. Unger in her native county, settling on a farm.  She died when Doctor Unger was two years of age, and he was taken to the home of his grandfather, Jacob Beight, who reared him until he was of military age.
     In 1861 Doctor Unger enlisted in Company G, Fourth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, as a private soldier, serving from Apr. 19, 1861, until August 18 the same year.  He re-enlisted for three years' service, but was rejected on account of disability caused by injuries received in service in line of duty.  He married Mary A. Longenecker and located at Canfield, Ohio, where he was in the practice of dentistry, having studied at Bucyrus, and graduated at the Philadelphia Dental College in 1872-3.  He was in practice from 1869 to 1873 when he located at Niles, where he has since attended to his duties as a skillful dental surgeon.  He has the distinction of being the oldest dentist in Trumbull county, in point of service, having been thus engaged for thirty-five years.  In 1896 the Doctor took a post-graduate course at the Northwestern Dental College, Chicago, Illinois.
