HOWARD
JONES, M.D., a skilled and experienced physician
and surgeon, at Circleville, was born in Cleveland,
Ohio, in 1853, and is a son of the late distinguished
Dr. N. E. Jones. The latter was a graduate of
both Hudson College and Hudson Medical College and for
many years was one of the most prominent medical men of
Northwestern Ohio.
Howard Jones was reared at Circleville from
infancy, his parents locating here when he was less than
a year old. He was reared when he was less than a
year old. He was reared and educated here,
graduating from the Circleville High School in 1870,
when he was entered as a student at Hobart College, at
Geneva, New York. In 1875 he was graduated there
with his degree of A. B., three years later receiving
the degree of A. M. from the same institution. In
1876 he was graduated in medicine from the Ohio Medical
College and subsequently took a post-graduate course at
the New York College of Physicians and Surgeons.
Dr. Jones then came to Circleville, entered into
practice and also became a member of the Columbus, Ohio,
filling the chair of ophthalmology for two years, and
that of physiology for four years. The demands of
a rapidly growing private practice, however, made it
necessary for Dr. Jones to resign his college
work and devote his whole time to his extensive
Circleville practice. Until 1882 he was associated
with his father, but at that date the older physician
retired and our subject has continued to practice alone.
He is a member of the Columbus Academy of Medicine, of
the American Academy of Medicine, and of the Pickaway
County Medical Society. The last named
organization, which is one of the oldest medical
societies in the State, was incorporated by three
eminent physicians of Circleville - Dr. N. E. Jones
and Drs. Turney and Thompson.
In 1882 Dr. Jones
was married to Mary McMullin, a daughter of the
late Rev. Samuel H. McMullin, who was pastor of
the Presbyterian Church at Glendale, Ohio. The
children of Dr. and Mrs. Jones are: Hildeburn
J., a student at Amherst College; Lloyd H., a
student in the Circleville High School; and Lillian,
Eleanor and Virginia.
Politically Dr. Jones is a Republican.
He served as a delegate to the Republican National
Convention which nominated the late President
McKinley in 1896. Through several
administrations he has been medical pension expert for
Southern Ohio. Fraternally he is an Elk.

JOSEPH
BRANHAM JUSTICE, M. D., one of Darbyville's
successful medical practitioners and prominent citizens,
was born Apr. 1, 1863, on a farm near Ironton, Lawrence
County, Ohio, and is a son of John G. and Ohio
(Casey) Justice.
The father of Dr.
Justice was born in Lawrence County, Ohio, where he
still resides. In the period of the Civil War he
served, during 1864 in the 91st Regiment, Ohio Vol.
Inf., and was with Gen. Phil. H. Sheridan in the
Shenandoah Valley. His business has been
farming and working in various iron furnaces. He
married Ohio Casey and they had 11 children, six
of whom are now living, as follows: Joseph
Branham; John George, of Ironton, Ohio;
Sarah, wife of Benjamin Rice, of Dayton,
Ohio; James, of Lawrence County, Ohio; Estella
(Hall); and Josephine, wife of John Burk,
of Jackson County, Ohio.
Joseph Branham Justice was born the eldest of a
large family and his father was not able to assist him
very much in the way of securing the educational
opportunities he craved. He remained at home until
he was 21 years of age. In the meantime he made
every effort to secure an education and succeeded in
passing the examinations, receiving at the age of 22
years a certificate entitling him to teach school.
During the seven years in which he continued to teach
school in Lawrence County, he applied himself to the
study of medicine, and without assistance prepared
himself for college. In 1893, having completed his
preparation and provided himself with the means, he
entered the Miami Medical College of Cincinnati.
He was graduated there in 1896 and immediately afterward
opened an office at Hanging Rock, in Hamilton township,
Lawrence County. In November, 1898, he came to
Darbyville and has been closely engaged in professional
work here ever since.
From the time he came into political privileges, Dr.
Justice has been a Democrat, and while a resident of
Lawrence County, as he has since, took an active
interest in public matters. Formerly he attended
all the important conventions of his party and was a
very popular member of it, but he was not willing to
accept office, on one occasion refusing to accept the
nomination for sheriff. Prior to leaving Lawrence
County, he was a member of the county convention and of
the committee on resolutions, in which he opposed
free silver with all his ability, the motion being
defeated in the committee. Since coming to
Pickaway County, professional duties have largely
absorbed him, although he has served five years in the
Village Council. He has also served his precinct
one term on the central committee.
On Mar. 24, 1889, Dr. Justice was married to
Ida May Silbaugh, who was born in Lawrence County,
Ohio, and is a daughter of William Henry and Mary
Jane (Everly) Silbaugh. The former was born in
Germany and came to America at the age of 16 years.
He served three years in an artillery regiment during
the Civil War. Mr. Silbaugh was the
substantial citizen and highly respected man. The
mother of Mrs. Justice was born at Morgantown,
West Virginia, and still survives. The children of
Dr. and Mrs. Justice are: Glenn Leroy,
born Jan. 25, 1890, at Ironton, Ohio, who is a member of
the graduating class of 1907 at the Williamsport High
School; Ivan Silbaugh, born Aug. 10, 1893, at
Ironton, Ohio; Mary Helen, born June 30, 1896, at
Ironton, Ohio; Dean Hudson, born Feb. 13, 1899,
at Darbyville, Ohio; and Donald, born May 25,
1904, at Darbyville, Ohio.
Dr. Justice has been a member of the Methodist
Episcopal Church since he was 20 years of age and has
been trustee and treasurer of the Darbyville church
almost from the date of his location in the village.
His fraternal connections include the Masonic lodge at
Williamsport, the Odd Fellows lodge at Derby and the
Camp of the Modern Woodmen of America at Darbyville.
Formerly he was connected with the Heptasophs at
Ironton. He belongs also to the Academy of
Medicine, at Columbus, Ohio.
Dr. Justice is a self-made man and is an example
of one who has attained professional prominence and
personal esteem through his own unaided efforts.

WILLARD
M. JUSTUS, a successful farmer of Jackson
township, operator of a fine farm of 106 acres known as
"Oak Dene," which is located on the Goosepond turnspike,
three and a half miles from Circleville, was born in
Pickaway County, Ohio, June , 1872. He was a son
of Jacob and Cynthia Ann (Marion) Justus.
The parents of Mr.
Justus were also natives of Pickaway County.
They will survive and are respected residents of Five
Points, Pickaway County. Of their family of seven
children, Willard M. is the third in order of
birth.
On June 6, 1900, Willard M. Justus was married
to Margaret Caldwell, who was born in Jackson
township on a farm some two miles distant from the home
residence, and is a daughter of William and Elizabeth
(Start) Caldwell, the former of whom was born in
Jackson and the latter in Harrison township, Pickaway
County. Mr. Caldwell spent his whole life
here, dying in February, 1875, at the age of 57 years
and leaving an estate of 250 acres of land. In
politics he was a strong Democrat.
The Caldwell family is one of the oldest and
most prominent in the county. It was founded in
Ohio by Alexander Caldwell, the great-grandfather
of Mrs. Justus, who was born in Ireland and was
accompanied to America by three daughters and one of his
sons, Alexander. Grandfather Alexander Caldwell
was seven years old when his father came to Pickaway
County and he became one of the leading men of Jackson
township. He was married three times and had five
sons and one daughter - all born to his first union.
Mrs. Justus was the eldest of her parents'
family, the others being: Rachel Alice, wife of
John Shipley, of Jackson township; and Mary
Ida, wife of Louis Shipley, also of Jackson
township.
By a former marriage to George Darst, Mrs.
Justus had these children: Mary, wife of
William Reid of Duvall, Ohio; William, of
Danville, Illinois; Harold, of Columbus, Ohio;
Janet, wife of Harry Shockley, of Columbus;
Josephine of Columbus; and Chetwynd, also
of Columbus.
Mr. Justus was reared to agricultural pursuits
and has always been regarded as a very competent
manager, excellent farmer and exemplary man. He
belongs to the Knights of Pythias and the Fraternal
Order of Eagles at Circleville and is past chancellor in
the former order. The farm of Mr. and Mrs.
Justus lies in the belt which is of historic
interest on account of the mounds still observable,
these formations never having been satisfactorily
explained, although many scientists have visited them.
