DR. JOSIAH HART. - A venerable
physician during the early period of Marietta's existence was
Josiah Hart, who was born in Berlin, Connecticut, in 1738.
He attended Yale College for the purpose of preparing for the
ministry, but after graduating in 1762 changed his intention and
entered on a course of medicine. His first wife died in 1777,
leaving seven children, two of whom settled in Ohio. He
married, for his second wife, Mrs. Abigail Harris, a blood
relative of the celebrated Miles Standish, whom Longfellow
has immortalized.
Dr. Hart came to Marietta in 1796, and was in
active practice until 1811, when he removed to his farm, where he
died from spotted fever in 1812. His wife died a few hours
after and both were buried the same day.
Dr. Hart was one of the first deacons of the
Congregational Church and was a consistent, pious Christian.
He had a strong love for science and was a regular attendant at the
meetings of a chemical society, composed of physicians and others.
This society met two or three evenings in a week, where experiments
were exhibited and lectures given. The seal of the society has
been preserved by Dr. George O. Hildreth.

DR. SETH HART was born in Berlin,
Connecticut, Nov. 13, 1814, and came to Washington County in the
spring of 1825, and on the 9th of April of that year opened an
office in Watertown. He remained in practice until September
27th, when he returned to New York and attended a course of lectures
at Fairfield.
Dr. Hart practiced at Watertown from the spring
of 1825 until 1836, excepting the time he was absent attending
lectures in New York. Since 1836 his office (until his death
in 1891) was located in Harmar, with but two breaks. In 1865
he was called to Tennessee to assist his son at the army hospital at
Tullahoma. After the close of the war he remained two years.
In 1869 he took charge of a mining enterprise in the Rocky Mountains
and remained one year.
Dr. Hart, ever after entering the practice in
1825, made a habit of keeping an preparing his own medicines.
His first experience in compounding medicines was at a drug store at
Palmyra, New York. Since then a long and busy life of practice
gave him an intimate acquaintance and drugs and their use.
During the period of his practice in this county - more
than 60 years - Dr. Hart always maintained the highest
reputation for efficiency as a doctor and integrity as a man.
His life was useful not only to himself and family but also to the
community which he served for more than half a century. His
visits were an inspiration to thousands of families in the hour of
pain and distress, and his life was indeed an example of industry
and uprightness. He joined the Presbyterian Church at the age
of 16. When he came to Harmar, he united with the
Congregational Church, where he held his membership until his death.

PETER
HICKMAN, a retired farmer of Grandview township,
Washington County, Ohio, is an upright, worthy gentleman,
respected and honored by all. He was born Dec. 28, 1830,
in Monroe County, and is a son of William and Margaret
(Green) Hickman, natives of the Keystone State. He is
the only survivor of ten children born to his parents.
William Hickman was also a farmer, who went to
Ohio about 1822, when still young and located in Monroe County,
where he lived all his life. In politics he was of the
Democratic party.
Monroe County was the scene of Peter Hickman's
boyhood experiences, and there also received his mental
training. When the Rebellion spread confusion and gloom
over the country, he enlisted, in 1862, in Company D, 146th
Reg., Ohio Vol. Inf., and served throughout the war, taking part
in many skirmishes and battles. He fought in the battle of
Piedmont and was wounded in the head by a minie ball; he was
also in Hunter's raid in the Shenandoah Valley. He
became sick at Staunton, and was sent to Gallipolis, where he
remained in the hospital about a month, and then reported for
duty at Harper's Ferry. He was sent to the Shenandoah
Valley and there served under General Sheridan.
Afterward he was on duty near Richmond and along the James
River. He was in the hospital at Point of Rocks
for some time, and was discharged at Dennison, Ohio, thus ending
his service in the army.
At the close of the war Mr. Hickman returned to
Monroe County and there lived until 1860, when he removed to
Payton Island and farmed three years previous to his arrival in
Grandview township, the place of his residence for so many yeas.
He bought his farms there in sections 31 and 35, where he
remained five years. Following this, he lived in Lower
Newport for fifteen years, and then returned to his old
homestead, where he has been in retirement during the past five
years.
In 1854 Mr. Hickman chose for his wife Eliza
Jackson, and they had three children, William Edward;
John Thomas; and Elida Belle, who was united in
marriage with Mr. Newlen. Mr. Hickman is a
member of the Christian Union Church, and is the prohibitionist
in his political opinions.

DR.
GEORGE O. HILDRETH, son of Dr. Samuel Prescott
Hildreth, graduated at Ohio University in 1829, at the age
of 17. He entered upon a course of medical study under the
direction of his father, and attended lectures at Transylvania
University, Kentucky, where he graduated in 1835. He was
regularly associated with his father until the death of the
latter in 1863. Since then he has been alone, occupying
the same house and office on Putnam street. His practice
has continued over a period of a little more than 60 years, with
but a single intermission, during a period of four years -
1849-53 - which were spent in California. For the last
five or six years failing health has compelled him to decline to
visit patients. Until the summer of 1902 he continued to
walk about the streets as actively a man of 40, but since that
time he rarely ventures beyond the door of his home.
