HENRY MALLORY

     HENRY MALLORY - The subject of this sketch was born in Boteourt county, Virginia, Feb. 27, 1822.
     When he had reached the age of seven years, he had already enjoyed some schooling in the primitive methods of the time, the family came West.  Their first stopping place was at Richmond, Ind., but a few years later they plunged still further into the wilderness, settling in Henry county, near the village of New Castle, in the same state.   Circumstances soon reduced the family to such a degree that the older sons were forced to look to their own exertions for support.  At sixteen Dr. Mallory left forever his paternal roof to work out his own salvation among the rough men of the rough places of the time.  His first employment was on a public canal contract in Indianapolis.  He began the study of medicine in 1844.  He graduated in 1847.  On July 10, 1849, he came to Hamilton, where, with the sole intermission of his years as a union soldier, he has practiced continuously ever since.  The time of his advent here was one to try men's souls.  It was the year of the great cholera epidemic and the young physician met the emergency nobly.  In 1861, he recruited a company for the gallant 35th O. V. I. and was elected captain.  After the battle of Mill Springs, he was commissioned surgeon of the 4th Kentucky cavalry.  He was subsequently made surgeon of a division.  Dr. Mallory has proven his bravery as a soldier to equal his skill in the art of healing.

     DAN MILLIKIN, M. D., was born in Fairfield township, Butler County, Ohio, Apr. 17, 1845.  He graduated from the

professional and domestic life are contemporary, and it may be said with truth that their uniformity was not alone that of time, Both have flowed on with equal smoothness and felicity.

     GEORGE TREBEL was born Jan. 23, 1865, at Middletown, Ohio.  At the age of twelve years he entered the Capitol University, Columbus, Ohio; took a six year scientific course and was graduated with the degree of A. B.  Three years after this college conferred the degree of A. M. on him, it being unsolicited, and being directly due to a book he had written on a scientific subject, "Electricity."  In 1885, he began attending lectures at Miami Medical College of Cincinnati, Ohio, and was graduated from there three years later, in 1887.  He has practiced medicine and particularly surgery, ever since at Hamilton, Ohio.  In 1891, he took a trip to Europe and attended the best schools of Germany, Austria, France, England and Scotland; was health officer under the Board of Public Affairs.  His administration of this office was characterized by the vigor of his policy, respecting no one, and prosecuting all who violated the health laws; was appointed surgeon to the C., H. & D. R. R., in 1892, and is still acting in said capacity for the company.  Dr. Trebel has had a preference for scientific subjects in and out of his profession.  He can converse on any subject appertaining to science; he has paid particular attention to electricty electricity, photography, chemistry, natural philosophy in general and music.  These he considers recreation, and finds more delight in composing a song, writing an article, taking a photograph, analyzing a specimen than others do in passing pleasures.  He has written numerous articles for the local press.  He always signs a nom de plume and never talks about them.  At college he was considered the best orator in his class and took a prominent part in amateur theatricals.

     There is not a doctor in the city capable of quicker or more delicate work, in an emergency, and this ability has stood him in good stead in his official position  of railway surgeon.

     JAMES H. ROLL was born near the village of Stillwell Corner, Butler county, Ohio, Dec. 16, 1845.  His early life was uneventful and did not differ from that of other boys on the farm, except that he attended school more closely than boys were usually permitted to do in country homes.  His labor was not in great demand on the home farm, as he was the third boy in age in the family.  On Oct. 7, 1861, when not sixteen years of age, he enlisted in Company I, Fourth Ohio Cavalry, and served in the ranks, answering to roll call every day in a regiment that took the field early in the Civil War and was constantly at the front.  Nineteen engagements are placed to the credit of this regiment in the Ohio Roster.  A number of its most important and severe engagements are not mentioned, namely, Elk River, Little Harpeth, Farmington and Muddy Creek.  Our subject participated in the following great battles: Stone River, Chickamauga and the siege of Atlanta.  After the term of his enlistment expired, about Nov. 1, 1864, he returned home and immediately entered a private school taught by Professor D. P. Nelson.  Subse-

quently, our subject began the study of medicine, and, entering the Ohio Medical College, continued his studies until his graduation in 1872.  In 1887, he came to Hamilton, opened an office, and has since conducted a profitable and increasing practice.  He served four years as Secretary of the Board of Pension Surgeons in Hamilton.  He is a Master Mason, and is also a member of Welzel-Compton Post No. 96, Grand Army of the Republic.
     On Oct. 14, 1873, Dr. Roll was united in marriage with Miss Lina Baldwin, of Wood Station.

F. M. FITTON

     FRANCIS M. FITTON was born in the village of Carthage, Hamilton county, Ohio, in 1859, but in infancy was removed with his family to Piqua.  His childhood was passed as that of all well regulated children should be - in the public schools.  He continued his studies without intermission until in his eighteenth year he was graduated with the class of 1876.  He left his home and settled himself in Butler county, where several branches of his father's family had established themselves long before.  Even at this early period of his life, Dr. Fitton's mind was unalterably fixed upon medicine.  Circumstances forbade his immediate entrance into a professional school.
     He became a teacher in county schools for five years, and at the same time supplying his own higher cravings by systematic reading in rudimentary medicine.  In 1882 he embraced an excellent position which was opened up to him in the office of The Niles Tool Works company.  The opening of the sessions of 1885-6 in the Miami Medical College found him enrolled in its list of matriculates.  In two years he was graduated, and equipped with his well earned degree, he came to Hamilton and established an excellent practice.  Of his record as a physician, little need be said.  His work speaks for itself in no uncertain tone.  He has lately devoted himself to special degrees in surgery, in which he has always had conspicuous success.

     WILLIAM Z. KUMLER was born in Seven Mile, Butler county, Ohio, in 1861.  His education has been thorough and complete; at the age of seven he entered the village school, from which he graduated, and immediately entered Professor Benedict Starr's Academy to fit himself for college.  A year later he matriculated in the Otterbein University near Columbus, where he spent five full years in conscientious work.  Unlike so many youths contemplating a professional career, Dr. Kumler did not neglect the opportunities for a broader culture offered by the classical courses of his college.  He bent himself with energy to his chemistry and biology.  In the fall of

[Pg. 236] -
1883, Dr. Kumler entered the Cleveland Medical college to complete a course that his private exertions had already more than half accomplished.  Upon his entrance he was at once promoted, and an advanced standing which, being supplemented by special work in the Huron County hospital during the summer, enabled him to complete his course in one-half the prescribed time.  The theoretical instruction of the lecture room, combined with the intensely practical work of the surgical ward of a city hospital, complete a symmetrical and thorough course of training.  In the summer of 1885, Dr. Kumler established his present office, where he has practiced without intermission ever since.

his well earned degree he returned to Hamilton and opened his present office in the Second National Bank building where he has since practiced with ever increased success.
     Dr. Barden was married several years ago to Miss Hattie Bachelor of this city.  One child, Louise, has been born of their union.

H. H. CARTER

     H. H. CARTER was born in the village of Sabina, Ohio, Dec. 7, 1865.  He is of Irish extraction.  At an early age he entered the office of Dr. S. B. Lightner.   After a training in the practical side of a doctor's life, young Harvey was dispatched to the Medical college of Ohio.  He was graduated in 1889, and after a brief career at Cuba, Ohio, he removed to Hamilton.  With unusual rapidity he has built up a broad and substantial practice.  Dr. Carter was married several years ago to Miss Lillian Harrison, of Vienna, Ohio, and one child Mildred, has come into their home.  Dr. Carter is a Mason and a leading factor in our local medical organizations.

     W. H. CHERRYHOLMES was born at Millersburg, Ohio, in 1860.  In early youth he had all the advantages of an education and special training.  At the age of sixteen he entered the State University at Columbus, from which he was graduated in 1881.  His mind was made up for medicine and he entered the medical department of the University of Michigan.  Here he remained for two years, graduating into the profession finally from the famous Bellevue Hospital Medical College of New York.  By a competitive examination he became an interne in that great hospital, where his years of theory were tempered by a broad and varied experience.  Five years of practice at his native place, determined him in favor of a restricted, yet more fertile field, of special practice.  In 1889, he became again a student.  For two years he studied and assisted at the Ophthalmic Clinics of Dr. F. B. Loring and Dr. Swan M. Burnett, two of the most eminent oculists in the United States.  Late in the year 1890, he left for Europe to put the finishing touches upon his already liberal training.  At Berlin he was a pupil of the great Hirschberg; subsequently he

[Pg. 238] -
was in the Royal London Ophthalmic Hospital and the Royal Westminster Ophthalmic Hospital, two of the greatest institutions of Europe.  In 1892,  Dr. Cherryholmes returned to America.  Upon the advice of a friend he came to Hamilton where he is every day fulfilling the promise of his youth and the guarantee of his magnificent training.
