VALENTINE DAHLHEIMER was born Mar. 9, 1822, in
Hesse, Germany, son of Christopher and Ablomer Dahlheimer,
the youngest of ten children, and the only one who
immigrated to this country. He came here May 5, 1847,
and located in Cincinnati, where he began stone masonry,
having learned the trade with his father. After
remaining in Cincinnati for fifteen years he bought his
present home in Anderson township; although seventy-one
years of age he still continues to work at his trade, to
some extent in connection with his gardening. He was
married, in 1851, to Catherine Schmolenbarger, who
was born in Bergen, Germany, in 1831, and came to this
country in 1849. Although our subject came to this
country with very little means, he has accumulated a nice
property and by his uprightness commands the respect of all
who know him. He and his wife are members of the
Catholic Church. Their marriage has been blessed with
seven children, all living: George, John,
Catherine, Leona, Martha, Christopher and Valentine.

DR.
DAVIS. In July, 1849, Dr. Davis, a very
skillful and intelligent physician, opened a pharmacy and a
free dispensary in Cincinnati, and during the cholera
epidemic which then prevailed, rendered very efficient
pioneer work in behalf of Homeopathy. Many of the
citizens had become quite thoroughly demoralized on account
of the alarming mortality of the epidemic under allopathic
practice, and patronized the pharmacy with the utmost
liberality for preventive medicines, which were now quite
well known to both profession and laity. After a few
years Dr. Davis disposed of his pharmacy and left the
city, and we have been unable to trace his further history.
