ISAAC H. HAGUE, M. D., son of Isaac and Nancy (Doughterty) Hague, was born in Holmes County, Ohio, Nov. 9, 1840.  His paternal grandparents came from Holland, and located in Fayette County, Penn.,, removing to Holmes County in 1828, where the grandfather was an agriculturist.  Isaac Hague, father of the Doctor, was born in Fayette County, Penn., where he married Nancy Dougherty, who was also born in Pennsylvania, and where their children - Ruth, Jane, William and Sarah - were born; and after their settlement in Ohio Aaron, Elizabeth, Hannah and Isaac H. were born.  Ruth and Jane  are both residents of Holmes County, and married, the former to John Phillips, the latter to Steven R. Williams; William's residence is also there; Sarah married William McConkey, and their home is in Missouri; Elizabeth married James Miller, and their residence was in Porter County, Ind., where she died; Hannah  married Josiah Moreland, also of Porter County, Ind., where she also died.
     Isaac H. received his elementary education in his native county, and his classical education at Hiram College, Portage County, Ohio.  He studied medicine with Dr. Joel Pomerene, of Millersburgh, Ohio, and attended a course of lectures in Cleveland, at Wooster University, fro which he graduated in 1868, and in 1876 he took a special course at Bellevue Hospital Medical College, New York.  During the war, in 1862, the Doctor enlisted in Company G, One Hundred and Second Ohio Volunteer Infantry, returning home at its close, in 1865.  In 1864, during the term of his enlistment, he married Rebecca, daughter of James Williams of Holmes County, Ohio, and upon his return from the army they located for a time in Millersburgh; then he began the practice of medicine in Nashville, removing to Shreve in 1877, where he has since been successfully engaged in the practice of his profession.  To Dr. and Mrs. Haue five children have been born, viz: Ellis B.; Jennie (now Mrs. I. C. Charles of Lucas, Richland Co., Ohio); Virga L.; Estella D., and James Harrison Garfield, named after ex-President Garfield, who was president of Hiram College during the Doctor's attendance there.
     The Doctor and his wife are members of the Disciples Church; in politics he is a Republican.  It is almost superfluous to add that Dr. Hague as a professional man and as a citizen deservedly holds a high position in the estimation of the community where he resides, that he enjoys an increasing and remunerative practice.
