PHYSICIANS.

     In the enumeration of the physicians of Fairfield County, the following names were unintentionally omitted:
     Dr. G. Miesse, Sen., will be remembered as a highly eminent practitioner of medicine in the neighborhood of Dumontsville for many years.  About 1840, or a little later, he removed to Greenville, Dark County, Ohio, where he still resides, at the age of 70 years.
     Dr. G. Miesse, now of Lancaster is his son.  Dr. Miesse, Jr., is known for his distinguished ability as a pianist and composer of music.  He makes a specialty of treating chronic diseases.
     Dr. M. H. Miesse is a physician of Royalton.
     Dr. Jonas Wiest, now of Circleville, was formerly a practitioner at Dumontsville, this County.
     Dr. Chas. Babcock and Dr. Barlow were former homeopathic physicians of Lancaster.
     Dr. Lurch of Amanda is a physician of many years practice, and is extensively known.
     Dr. Thomen, resident physician at Baltimore.
     Dr. Rutter, medical practitioner of Clear Creek.
     Dr. Thomas, resident physician of Rushville.
     Dr. Hummel is a practitioner of Baltimore.
     The difficulty the author has experienced in receiving responses to inquiries, is the apology for these names not appearing in the proper place.
     Jacob Wiest emigrated from Pennsylvania and settled in Greenfield Township, this County, in May, 1822, where he continued to reside untill the time of his death, on the 24th of Nov., 1872, at the great age of 88 years, 11 months and 9 days.  He was the father of twelve children, of whom four have deceased and eight are living.  There are also living at the time of his death, 96 grand-children and 129 great grand-children.  Mr. Wiest was a soldier in the war of 1812.  His tomb is near Dumontsville.
     John Zeigler is almost the last survivor of the original settlers of Fairfield County.  He settled on the place where he now resides with his son Noah, five miles north of Lancaster, among the very earliest of the settlers of the County.  His age is 92 years.
     Benjamin Weist, still living at the age of 70 years, was an early settler of Greenfield Township.
     Joseph Miesse, Sen., was among the early settlers of Greenfield Township.  The Miesse's of the County are his descendants.  He died many years ago.  He was the founder of Miesse's church near Dumontsville.  This church is known as the "coal mine" church, from some tradition.
     The following names are miss-spelled in the text, but are here rendered correctly:
     In "grape culture," J. F. Bovring should be read F. J. Boving.
     In "Knights of Pythias," page 73, read John A. Heim for John A. Hern.
     Page 76 in "Constituent Members," the first name should be L. C. Butch instead of D. C. Butch.  Also, on page 75, 2nd line from the bottom, read L. C. Butch for L. C. Butler.
     Wherever the name Newton Sclich occurs, it must be read Newton Schleich.
     The name of the pastor of the Presbyterian church at Lithopolis was given to the author as Brown, and so written on page 135, top line.  The correct name is Downe.
    Abraham Seifert has served as County Recorder, Probate Judge, and Member of the house of Representatives of the State Legislature.  By some strange inadvertance his name appears variously spelled in the text, under the proper heads "Adam Seifert"; "Abram Seifert"; "Adam Syfert."
     On page 144, in "Probate Judges," third line from the bottom, Wm. T. Rigley must be read Wm. L. Rigby.  Also, on page 153, the name is spelled Bigby instead of Rigby.
     The spelling of names, especially those derived from Foreign languages, is sometimes various.  They will be found however, that with the foregoing corrections, this volume will be complete, and it is hoped satisfactory
