ELWOOD M. OUTLAND.     Elwood M. Outland, who is interested in farming in Monroe township, near Pickrelltown, Logan county, was born on the 14th of June, 1851, in this county, and is a son of Samuel J. and Eliza A. (Wirick) Outland.  He is the elder of two children, his sister being Lenora, the wife of William Loudon by whom she had three children, Cora, now deceased, and Edna and Reba.
     To the common school system of his home locality Elwood M. Outland is indebted for the educational privileges that he enjoyed in his youth.  He continued his studies until twenty years of age and during the periods of vacation he assisted in the work of the home farm.  In 1858 his parents removed to the farm upon which our subject is now living, the father purchasing this property that year.  Here he lived until his death, which occurred in 1865.  After his father's demise the son assumed the management of the home property and continued to carry on the farm for his mother.
     On Christmas eve of 1875 Elwood Outland was united in marriage to Miss Sarah A. Williams, who was born on the 11th of February, 1856, in Logan county, and is a daughter of Newton and Polly (Marsh) Williams.  In their family were the following named:  Samantha; Sarah; Darius; Lettie; Ollie; Emma; Clara; Frank; Eugene; Elias, who has passed away.  Mr. Outland brought his bride to the old family homestead and continued to farm upon his mother's land.  Here he has since resided and he is now the owner of a good property of sixty acres, on which he annually raises a considerable amount of corn.
     Unto Mr. and Mrs. Outland has been born a daughter, Allie, whose birth occurred Feb. 27, 1877.  She is now the wife of Otis Elliott, and she had two children, Harold, born Oct. 4, 1896, and Herman, who was born July 21, 1899, and died Feb. 25, 1902.  The parents are connected with the Society of Friends and Mr. Outland is a Republican in his political views.  He has always been identified with agricultural pursuits, following farming throughout his entire life and in his work he has prospered, meeting with creditable and well deserved success.

WARREN H. OUTLAND, M. D.     Among the practitioners of medicine in Bellefontaine who have won success as the direct result of close application, thorough preparation and unfaltering devotion to the duties of their calling, is Dr. Warren H. Outland.  He was born in Perry township, Logan county, Ohio, Jan. 20, 1842, a son of Thomas Antrim and Eliza (Freer) Outland.  The father was of Dutch lineage and the mother of English descent, and prior to the war of 1812 the ancestors of the Doctor emigrated from the Carolinas to Ohio.  Thomas A. Outland was born in Zane township, on the head waters of the Darby, and remained where his father first settled until 1857, when he removed to Union county, Ohio.  There he resided until the fall of 1864, when he located in Dudley township, Hardin county, Ohio, on the Scioto, not far from the Wheeler Tavern stand, known now as Peifer.  There he remained until his death, which occurred Jan. 8, 1876.  In his family were eight children, six sons and two daughters, all of whom are living namely: Alonzo; Warren H.; Salathiel L.; Erasmus W.; Mary Jane; Philander P., a physician of Zanesfield; George Alexander; and Laura Florence.
     In the district schools Dr. Warren H. Outland began his education, which he continued in a select school at West Middleburg; while later he was a student in the West Liberty union school and in the union schools of Larue, Marion county, Ohio.  His attendance at school was alternated at times by teaching.  For several terms, during the winter seasons, he taught in the counties of Logan, Hardin and Union and on one occasion, while thus engaged, he became the victim of smallpox.  Although he taught for two days with the Prodromal fever*, not a single pupil became a victim of the disease.
     The Doctor was twenty-eight years of age when he began the study of medicine and he was graduated, on the 4th of February, 1873, on the completion of a course in the Eclectic Medical College of Cincinnati.  He began practice at what is now the town of Peifer, and in the spring of 1873 he removed to Mount Victor, Hardin county, going thence to Zanesfield, Mar. 29, 1874.  He remained in the last named place until Oct. 24, 1900, when seeking a broader field of labor he came to Bellefontaine.  His previously varied experience had gained him a proficiency which soon won recognition here and a large patronage has been accorded him.  In the meantime he had further perfected himself for the responsible duties of his chosen calling by attendance at the Hahnemann Medical College, at Chicago, from which he was graduated with the class of 1882, and in the Pulte Medical College of Cincinnati he was graduated in 1884.  He has always been a student of his profession, reading broadly, thinking deeply and assimilating his knowledge for the uses of his practice, and he further keeps in touch with the advancement in the medical science through his membership in the State Homeopathic Medical Society.  Born and reared on a farm, Dr. Outland has always been interested in agriculture and now owns a small farm in Jefferson township.
     On the 14th of October, 1875, Dr. Outland married Malinda F. Thompson, who died Apr. 19, 1892, at the age of forty-four years.  She was a daughter of Amos and Ruth (Rea) Thompson, and at her death she left a son, Edwin Freeman, who was the only child of this marriage and who died Dec. 4, 1893, at the age of seventeen years, three months and twenty-eight days.  On the 27th of April, 1893, the Doctor was again married, his second union being with Lorenza Antrim, the daughter of George and Marietta Antrim, of Logan county.  They have two living children, Gaylord Hollis and Garnet Lucile, and they also lost a son, Kent, who died Nov. 8, 1900, at the age of two months.
     The Doctor is connected with the Knights of the Golden Eagle and the Masonic fraternity, and he is a devoted and consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal church, in which he has served as class-leader for fifteen years.  His labors in behalf of the church have been practical, beneficial and far-reaching and in his profession he finds ample opportunity to follow the teachings of the church in regard to man's relation to his fellow man.  The Doctor has also been called upon to fill civic offices, has served as township clerk of Jefferson township for seven years and was also clerk in Zanesfield.  In politics he is a stanch Republican and on the party ticket he was elected and served as councilman of Zanesfield and also as its mayor.  No trust reposed in him, political or otherwise, has ever been betrayed in the slightest degree; on the contrary he has been very prompt and faithful in the execution of every duty and is as highly esteemed as a man and citizen as he is in the medical profession.

* A prodromal fever is an early, non-specific rise in body temperature that occurs after exposure to a pathogen but before the main, distinguishing symptoms of an illness appear. Often presenting as a low-grade fever, it is a warning sign that your immune system is actively fighting an infection.
     The Prodromal Phase:  The term "prodrome" originates from the Greek word for "running before". It represents the window of time after the incubation period, but before the full clinical manifestation of a disease (like a rash or respiratory distress) occurs.
