HENRY MALLORY, M. D.    The subject of this review enjoys the distinction of being the oldest practicing physician in the city of Hamilton, but if this were all, the honor would be one of indifferent order.  There is therefore a further consideration in the case at hand, for in public repute Dr. Mallory not only stands at the head of his profession in the matter of years of active practice, but also holds this position of priority by reason of his skill and success as a practitioner.  Like most men who have passed the confines of the mediocre in their chosen life work, he began at the foot of the ladder and wholly through his own efforts attained the exalted position which is his today.
     Dr. Mallory is a native of the Old Dominion state, having been born in Botetourt county, Virginia, on the 27th of February, 1822.  In that early epoch even the patrician old commonwealth of Virginia was not far removed from that indefinitely designated quarter known as the "frontier," much of the country being wild and undeveloped.  Though the exigencies of time and place measurably deprived him of the educational advantages enjoyed by the youth of the present generation, the subject had at the age of seven years made some advancement along the lines of elementary education.  At that age he accompanied his parents on their removal to what was then considered the far west, the family locating in Richmond, Indiana, while a few years later they plunged still more deeply into the wilderness, settling on a tract of wild land near the present town of Newcastle, that state.  The older sons in the family were soon compelled to depend upon their own resources for support and education.  At the age of sixteen Dr. Mallory left the parental home, never again to return to the same for a place of permanent abode.  His associates were, by reason of the environments, mostly laboring men of the rougher type, and among them he found but few congenial spirits.  For the most part they considered brawn vastly superior to brain in the struggle for an existence.  with these surroundings it is almost phenomenal that a boy of our subject's tender ae at the time, entirely self-dependent and engaged in the hardest kind of manual labor, should ever have thought of higher educational attainments and of ultimately attaining prestige in an honorable and dignified profession.  Dr. Mallory's first employment after having home was in connection with the construction of a public canal in the vicinity of the present city of Indianapolis, and the following six years of his life were spent in various sorts of manual labor, interspersed with a few terms in school.  these were years of valiant struggle for the accumulation of a little money.  His habits of life were simple and his wants but few.  Usually all his labor contracts carried with them provision for board, washing and mending, so that the somewhat meager emoluments of his labor were mostly laid aside for the proverbial "rainy day."  At the age of twenty-two young Mallory began the study of medicine, a profession which he had chosen in his boyhood years of servitude and for which he had made some previous preparation by private study.  He was graduated in the Western Reserve Medical College, at Cleveland, Ohio, as a member of the class of 1850, while he had been engaged in the active practice of medicine for one year prior to receiving his degree from this excellent institution.
     On the 10th of July, 1849, Mr. Mallory came to Hamilton, being then in the full bloom of strong and vigorous young manhood.  He at once entered the practice, which, as the years passed, was augmented by rapidly growing professional strength and popularity.  Medical practice in those days meant something.  Long and tedious rides on horseback, in summer's heat and winter's turbulence, with the old-time saddlebags thrown across the saddle.  Through drifting snow or seemingly bottomless mud, the valiant physician made his way, faithful to his trust and his noble calling and self-abnegating in his efforts to relieve the suffering.  All this implied weary days and nights of constant vigilance and utter disregard of his own comfort and of even his own health.  In the same year which represented the inauguration of Dr. Malloroy's professional labors here, there came the ever memorable scourge of cholera, the epidemic being so severe as to threaten the annihilation of the entire populace of the communities in which the epidemic found foothold.  This was a time to try the souls of the conscientious physicians, and many of them succumbed to the ravages of the dread malady from whose insidious effects they labored so strenuously and faithfully to save their fellow men.
     On the breaking out of the war of the Rebellion Dr. Mallory felt it his duty to lay aside his professional work and join the boys at the front.  In 1861 he recruited a company of volunteers for the gallant Thirty-fifth Regiment of Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and of this company he was commissioned captain.  He led his command to the front and participated with his comrades in several engagements.  But the government was sadly in need of experienced medical men, and Captain Mallory was finally persuaded to accept a position as surgeon of the Fourth Kentucky Cavalry, with the rank and pay of major.  He rapidly advanced in the estimation of his superiors and completed his term of service as surgeon of a division.  Dr. Mallory returned to Hamilton in the full consciousness of duty well performed, and here resumed his position as a leader in professional and civic affairs.  For more than a half century he has maintained that proud position, though wearing his honors without ostentation or undue self-esteem.  No man living has done more for Hamilton than the venerable Doctor Mallory, and, as though not satisfied with the "three score years and ten" allotted to man, he is still actively engaged in life's work, his desire being to remain in the harness until he is called to obey the one in exorable summons.  Though now a debtor to "borrowed time" to the extent of more than eleven years, he is in full possession of all his faculties, active and energetic as a man of fifty, representing in an eminent degree the great desideratum, - "mens sana in corpore sano."  He utterly ignores the ideal of retiring from the active practice of the profession in which he has labored so long, faithfully and successfully, and he pursues his studies zealously, keeping in touch with the advancements made in the sciences of medicine and surgery and being essentially a vital man of affairs.  Dr. Mallory is a regular contributor to medical journals and is a recognized authority; his writings being held in the highest value by his professional confreres.  In addition to this he has also written many articles for the public press, while he has also made a valuable historic contribution, ina series of character sketches of those who were resident of Hamilton in 1849.  This volume is most comprehensive and interesting and is retained as a cherished souvenir in many of the families descended from the old pioneers represented in its pages.  In his religious life Dr. Mallory has been a most devoted member of the Methodist Episcopal church, in whose faith he was baptized when three years of age, while it may well be said his has been the "faith that makes faithful."  He is at the present time a member of the official board of the church in Hamilton, and has been for many years one of its most zealous and effective workers.  A number of years ago the Doctor wrote a history of Methodism in Hamilton, which was published by the Methodist Book Concern, of Cincinnati, and the same is a treasured volume in the archives of the local church.  During the entire course of his active and eventful life Dr. Mallory has been recognized as eminently consistent in his Christian profession, exemplifying his faith in goods works, being generous and charitable and a self-sacrificing worker for the good of humanity, both spiritually and temporarily.  As if the weight of years and the demands of his profession did not constitute a cause for exemption from other burdens.  Governor Bushnell appointed the Doctor a member of the permanent monument committee charged with the erection of the soldiers, sailors and pioneers' monument, which is now in course of completion in Hamilton.  Dr. Mallory takes an active interest in municipal affairs in his home city and has been instrumental in the inauguration for many needed reforms in public service and affairs.  To him possibly more than to any other physician not in public office is due the recently adopted system of preventing the spread of contagious diseases in the county, while he was one of the leaders in defining the methods to be employed.  He is a member of the Butler County Medical Society, the Union District Medical Society, in each of which he is revered as a man and a physician.  In 1849 the Doctor was initiated in the Masonic fraternity, at Brownsville, Indiana, and he now has the distinction of being the oldest Mason in Hamilton.
     At Brownsville, Indiana, on the 14th of September, 1843 was solemnized the marriage of Dr. Mallory to Miss Anna Maria Rider, and she proved to him a devoted companion and helpmeet during the half century of their wedded life.  She was summoned into eternal rest on the 9th of October, 1894, their golden wedding anniversary having been celebrated in the preceding year.  Of the five children of this union two died in infancy.  Of the three living children we enter the following brief record:  Martha J. is the wife of Adam Dickey, of Hamilton; Imogene Alice is the wife of Dr. J. Thomas Knox, of Cincinnati, and Susanna is the wife of Nelson Williams, of Hamilton.  A life of signal usefulness and honor has been that of the venerable subject of this review, and no citizen of Hamilton is held in higher regard or is better known than this sterling pioneer.  Dr. Mallory has three grandchildren living, and one great-grandson, Edwin Haviland Cox, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Haviland Cox, of Springfield, Illinois; also one great grandaughter, Elizabeth Taylor, the daughter of Arthur Payne Taylor and his wife, Norma Josephine Taylor, of Cincinnati, Ohio.

CONSTANTINE MARKT, M. D.  This representative member of the medical profession in Butler county, where he has been long established in practice, retaining his residence in the city of Hamilton, was born in Spaichingen, in the kingdom of Wurtemberg, Germany, on the 25th of February, 1832, being a son of Karl and Mary Markt, likewise natives of that kingdom, where the latter died in the year 1852.  The eldest of their six children was Jacob, and he emigrated to the United States in 1849, settling in Geauga county, Ohio, where he conducted a tailoring business and dealt in clothing.  He was a valiant soldier during the Civil war and was wounded in the battle of Murfreesboro, his injuries being so severe as to cause his discharge from the service, by reason of disability.  He never recuperated and his death, which occurred in 1871, was the diametrical result of his injuries.  He sold his business in Ohio and removed to Wisconsin, where his death occurred.  The presence of this son and brother in America led the aged father and his other children to consider the advantages and attractions of the new world, and in 1854 they crossed the ocean, coming to Ohio, where they made short visit in Geauga county, removing to Painesville in the fall of that year.  Of the other children we enter the following brief record: Francis I. died in 1856; Constantine is the immediate subject of this sketch; Victoria became the wife of Gottleib Reif and they removed to Portland, Oregon, where he died and where she still resides; Catherine is the widow of Frederick Spinner and resides in Iowa and Maria Theresa died on the same day as did her brother Francis, both having succumbed to typhoid fever.   The father passed to his reward in 1868, at the venerable age of seventy-four years.  The father of the Doctor was well advanced in years when he came to America, and thereafter much of the responsibility of caring for the family devolved upon the subject, who was the eldest son at home.  He had received an excellent education in the schools of the fatherland, where he was graduated in one of the national colleges, while he was also very proficient in both vocal and instrumental music.  This accomplishment proved source of profit in enabling him to provide for the support of the family, and he found much pleasure in his musical work, but he was not satisfied to follow music teaching as permanent vocation, aspiring to professional success as physician and surgeon.  His leisure hours were thus passed in careful technical study, under the preceptorship of Dr. Joseph B. Carpenter, of Painesville.  It was not, however, until after the death of his brother and sister and the marriage of the other sisters that he could entertain the thought of entering medical college to complete his studies.  He entered the Eclectic Medical College, in Cincinnati, in 1856, and was there graduated as member of the class of 1858, in which his studious habits and close application had given him high rank.  Very soon after receiving his coveted degree of Doctor of Medicine, the subject located in Hamilton, where he has ever since been actively engaged in practice and where he has attained high standing in the profession, building up large and representative business.  He has always maintained an enviable position among his colleagues in Hamilton and has been successful beyond his most sanguine expectations.  His extensive practice and close application to his professional duties so impaired his health that he finally felt compelled to withdraw largely from his country practice, which at one time required the use of three horses, and he then, about 1869, engaged in the drug business and reduced his professional labors to practically an office practice.  After four years of this semi-active life he turned his drug business over to assistants and again resumed the active practice of his profession, and here we find him today, with his energies divided between mercantile pursuits and the practice of medicine.  Though devoted to his profession Dr. Markt has found time for general reading and has taken an active interest in political, social and religious affairs.  An ardent Republican, he has been in the field as campaign orator in every presidential election since 1860, though he has never sought official preferment for him self.  He has been lifelong student and has surrounded himself with those ever loyal friends, choice books, his handsome home, at 214 South Second street. being veritable storehouse of the best in classical and con temporary literature of the best order.  The Doctor is versatile, companionable, easy of approach, loyal to his friends. and devoted to his family and home.  On the 30th of December, 1858.  Dr. Constantine Markt was married to Miss Josephine C. Carpenter, daughter of his early preceptor, Dr. Joseph Brown Carpenter, of Painesville.  Dr. Carpenter was born in Milton, Vermont, where he was educated and where he initiated his professional career.  He was graduated in Burlington Medical College in 1826, and came to Painesville, Ohio, in 1843, there passing the residue of his life as prominent and successful practitioner of medicine and surgery.  He died in 1861, at the age of fifty five years.  His wife, whose maiden name was Caroline Jackson, was likewise born in Milton, and she survived her honored husband by about four years, entering into eternal rest in 1865.  On the maternal side the ancestry is traceable to the Revolutionary epoch, and Mrs. Markt is valued member and chief official in the Hamilton chapter of  the Daughters of the American Revolution.  She is also charter member of the Children’s Home Commission in this city, the same having been organized thirty-four years ago, and she has ever been an active and devoted worker for this noble institution.  She is woman of culture and gracious refinement and has ever shown deep humanitarian spirit and sympathy. gaining the affectionate regard of those who have come within the sphere of her kindly influence.  Dr. and Mrs. Markt have two children.  The daughter, Addie Carpenter, is the wife of Edward Sohngen, of Hamilton, prominent business man and leading manufacturer, and they have two children, Josephine Markt and Elizabeth Adelaide.  The son, Karl C., still remains at the parental home.  He was born on the 16th of August, 1873, and has received liberal education and is graduate in pharmacy, profession which he followed for several years in connection with his father’s drug business, but he is now identified with other lines of business enterprise. In 1858 Dr. Markt was appointed brigade surgeon of the Southern division of the Ohio militia, and he held this office until the brigade entered active service in the Civil war.  He was for ten years secretary of the board of trustees of the Lane Library and to him is due much of the early popularity and upbuilding of that valuable institution.  He was for long period member of the Hamilton board of health, serving as secretary of the same for eighteen years, while for four years was treasurer of the board of education.  He has long been one of the honored members of the Ohio State Medical Society, of which he was president for two years.

JOSEPH D. MARSHALL, M. D.     The homoeopathic system of medicine has proved a boon to humanity and its beneficent influence has gradually permeated the whole scheme of therapeutics, doing away with the heroic dosage which in past years worked so unmistakable physiological havoc through the reaction of the remedial agents administered.  Among the able members of this popular school of medicine in Butler county is Dr. Marshall, who is successfully engaged in the practice of his profession in the city of Hamilton.
     Dr. Marshall is a scion of sterling pioneer families of Butler county and was born near the town of Middletown, this county, on the 5th of April, 1868.  He is a son of Isaac and Eleanor (Doty) Marshall, both of whom were born in Butler county, where the former has devoted his life to agricultural pursuits, being one of the honored and prominent citizens of Middletown and being at the present time a member of the board of directors of the county infirmary.  He was born on the 2d of February, 1843, and his wife's death occurred on the 28th of July, 1879.  Of this union were born five children, namely: Rachel A.,  who is now the wife of William Diver, a successful farmer of Madison township; Joseph D., who is the immediate subject of this sketch; Olive, who is the wife of Edward Stewart, of Middletown; Minnie A., who is the wife of Virgil Puckett, of Hamilton; and Sarah E., who died at the age of six years.
     Dr. Marshall passed his youthful days on the homestead farm and his early educational training was secured in the public schools of this county.  At the age of twenty years he began reading medicine under the direction of Dr. Thomas E. Reed, of Middletown, and after gaining an excellent preliminary knowledge he was matriculated, in 1888, as a student of Pulte Medical College, in Cincinnati, one of the leading homeopathic institutions in the Union, and there he was graduated as a member of the class of 1891, receiving his degree of Doctor of Medicine.  He initiated the practice of his profession by locating in the village of Millville, five miles west of Hamilton, where he remained two years, at the expiration of which he located in Hamilton, in order that he might have a broader field for his professional endeavors, and here he has built up a large and representative practice, which fact stands as the best voucher for his ability and for the success which has attended his ministrations.  Doctor served two years as district physician and for an equal period as physician at the county infirmary, while for nine years he was police surgeon of Hamilton, giving most effective service.  Dr. Marshall is genial and companionable, is unswerving in his devotion to his profession, and he is held in the highest esteem in his native county.  The Marshall family is of stanch English lineage, the original progenitors in America having come hither on the historic Mayflower, and a son of the line was the first white child born after the arrival of the pilgrims at Plymouth Rock.  Dr. Marshall gives his allegiance to the Democratic party, though he has never sought official preferment or been an active factor in political affairs.  He and his wife are members of the First Baptist church of Hamilton, and fraternally he is identified with both the lodge and encampment of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, while both he and his wife hold membership in the local organization of the Knights and Ladies of Honor.
     On  the 24th of September, 1891, Dr. Marshall was united in marriage to Miss Marshall was united in marriage to Miss A. Etta Davis, who was born in Millville, this county, being a daughter of Washington B. and Clara Davis, the latter being now deceased, while the father is one of the representative farmers of Hanover township.  To Dr. and Mrs. Marshall were born two children, Alfred E., who was born Dec. 26, 1892, and who died Mar. 31, 1894, and James Edgar, who was born June7, 1898.

MARTIN V. MARSHALL.     A native son of Butler county and a representative of one of its honored pioneer families, Mr. Marshall has for many years occupied a conspicuous place among the successful and progressive agriculturists of Lemon township, having passed his entire life in the county.  His career has been that of an honorable and enterprising business man, while he has taken at all times a deep interest in educational, social and civic affairs and kept well informed on the questions and issues of the hour.  He commands the respect and confidence of those with whom he has been thrown in contract in the varied relations of life, and is specially well entitled to specific mention in a compilation which has to do with the history of the county in which he has lived and labored.
     Mr. Marshall was born on the old homestead farm, in Lemon township, this county, on the 6th of September, 1840, and is a son of James and Eliza (Conover) Marshall, of whose five children three are living, the subject of this review having been the second in order of birth.  James Marshall was likewise a native of Butler county, where he was born in the year 1816, this fact showing that the family was established here in the very early pioneer epoch.  He devoted his life to agricultural pursuits and was one of the representative citizens of Lemon township at the time of his death, which occurred in 1900.  He was a man of inflexible integrity and mature judgment and wielded much influence in local affairs of a public nature, through never an aspirant for office.  In politics he was a stalwart advocate of the principles of the Republican party, and both he and his wife were prominent and valued members of the Christian church.  Mrs. Eliza (Conover) Marshall was born in this county in the year 1818, her parents having been numbered among the sterling pioneers of this section of the Buckeye state, and here she passed her entire life, her death occurring in 1886.  James Marshall, the grandfather of the subject, was born in Loudoun county, Virginia, as was also his wife, Mary, both families having been early founded in the Old Dominion state.  The marriage of this worthy couple was solemnized in Virginia, whence they emigrated to Ohio in 1800, locating in Butler county, where Mr. Marshall secured five hundred acres of government land, in Lemon township, the entire tract being heavily timbered, so that he was compelled to literally hew our a farm in the midst of the forest wilds, thus doing his part in laying the foundations for the magnificent civilization and prosperity which are in so marked evidence here at the present day.  It is pleasing to note that a portion of this original tract of land is the farm now owned and occupied by the subject of this sketch, the property having remained in the possession of the family from the time it was secured from the federal government, before Ohio had been admitted to the Union.  James Marshall, Sr., died in 1819, at which time his son and namesake, father of the subject, was a child of but three years.
     Martin V. Marshall was reared on the old homestead farm and early began to render his quota of aid in the work of cultivating and improving the same, while his rudimentary educational training was secured in the district schools, after which he continued his studies in the commercial school in Middletown.  He was never wavered in his allegiance to the great basic art of agriculture and has attained success through his association with the same, having been enterprising and progressive and being known as one of the model farmers of the county.  His attractive farmstead comprises one hundred and sixteen acres of most arable land, is equipped with the best of improvements and is one of the valuable rural demesnes of the county.  Mr. Marshall has ever given an uncompromising allegiance to the Republican party and has worked for the success of its cause, though he has never sought the honors or emoluments of public office.  He has been for the past thirty-six years a  member of the Christian church, and has contributed liberally to the support of the same and been active in its work.  His wife like wise was a devoted member of this church, both her father and paternal grandfather having been members of its clergy, and her life was gentle and kindly, exemplifying the deep faith which she held and which dominated her thought and action.
     On the 18th of September, 1872, was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Marshall to Miss Mary Simonton, who was born in Clark county, this state, on the 12th of August, 1849, being a daughter of Rev. Hiram Simonton.  She received her education in the public schools of her native county, having been a student in the high school at New Carlisle, and also possessed considerble musical talent and ability.  She was summoned into eternal rest on the 8th of January, 1897, and is survived by her children, Wilbur S., Clara E., Ella E., Pearl and Clayton.  The children have been af forded the advantages of the public schools and the eldest of the three daughters completed her education in the National Normal University at Lebanon, Ohio.
