JACOB KENDELL, M. D., druggist and
physician, Covington. Dr. Kendell, a life-resident
of Miami Co., was born in Newton Township Dec. 16, 1845; his
parents, Jerry and Mary (Boggs) Kendell, were early
residents of Newton Township. His father's death occurred
there in 1850, and his mother's in 1853. Jacob
being an orphan at 8 years of age, was cared for by an uncle
until he was 12 years of age, during which the uncle made him
pay more attention to work than schooling. He then became
the ward of Dr. Weaver, whose biography also appears in
this work, and who not only gave him opportunity for education,
but also encouraged him. When he arrived at 18, he began
teaching, and reading medicine. He graduated at the Miami
Medical College at Cincinnati, in 1869, and in the same year
began practice in connection with Dr. Weaver, in which he
has remained ever since. Weaver & Kendell are
druggists as well as practitioners (See
Dr. Weaver's
biography). The Doctor is the present Township Clerk,
and highly respected both as a citizen and physician. His
residence is a neat brick, situated on High street.
