Bucyrus -
E. P. PENFIELD, physician and surgeon,
Bucyrus; is the son of Samuel and Clara E. (Woodworth)
Penfield, and was born in Huron Co., Ohio, April 5, 1833.
His home was in North Fairfield until he had attained to the age
of 14 years. He then went to the Normal Academy at
Norwalk, and received a good education. He commenced the
study of medicine in 1854, with Dr. D. H. Reed, of his
native village, and graduated at the Homeopathic Medical College
in 1859, and immediately after, went to Newark, Ohio, where he
entered into a good practice, remaining some three years.
He removed to Bucyrus in June, 1861, and opened an office.
During this time, he has built up an excellent practice, and
gained an enviable reputation as a skillful physician, being the
only representative of the homeopathic school in the city.
He is a member of the State Homeopathic Association, and was, at
its second session, elected Secretary. On April 15, 1857,
he was married to Louisa H. Smith, of North Fairfield,
Huron Co. Three sons are the blessings of this union—Charles
S., Jamie W. and Arthur E. The eldest,
Charles S., is a graduate of Hahnemann Homeopathic
School of Chicago, and is practicing there at present. The
doctor's father was a native of Connecticut, and his mother of
New York. They were early settlers in Huron Co., where his
father was a wagon-maker, but followed farming later in life. Dr.
E. P. Penfield is a member of the Presbyterian Church, and
has been Trustee for nine years. As a physician, he ranks
among the first in the city, and has been a prominent and
valuable citizen, and one who is well known as a man of
principle and true worth.
