ALBERT
WILSON, M. D., the oldest practicing physician in
the city of Sidney, having been engaged in his
profession here for forty years, is widely and favorably
known throughout the county, both in his professional
character and as a private citizen, both in his
professional character and as a private citizen. A
native of this county, he was born in Washington
Township, Sept. 14, 1826, and is the son of Jesse H.
and Abigail (Brodrick Wilson.
John Wilson, the
grandfather of our subject, located on the banks of
Turtle Creek, Washington Township in 1807, having come
hither from Warren County, this State. He was,
however, reared in Virginia, and came to the above-named
county in 1801. Prior to his coming to Ohio, he
was married to Anna Webb, who was a native of
Georgia. The grandfather located land in the
above-named township, which has since been in possession
of the family. There the father of our subject
grew to maturity, and continued to reside on the farm
until his decease, which occurred in 1881. He was
a Colonel in the State militia, and took a prominent
part in local affairs in community.
He of whom we write was the fourth in order of birth of
the parental family of twelve children, his brother and
sisters being Alfred D., John B., Anna, Robert,
Hiram, Mark, Henry C., Mahala (now deceased),
Theodore G., Cassius C. and Louisa, who died
when four years of age. The mother of our subject
was born in New Jersey in 1801, and was four years of
age when she accompanied her parents on their removal to
Butler County, this State. Her father later moved
to Wapakoneta, where he served as Government blacksmith
to the Indians. The parents subsequently came to
Hardin, this county, where they made their home until
1833, when Mr. Brodrick went to Elkhart, Ind.,
and there spent his last days on a farm.
The original of this sketch received his early
education in the public schools and after completing his
studies taught school for a number of terms.
Having decided to follow the practice of medicine, he
began reading under Dr. H. S. Conklin, and of the
pioneer physicians of this section, and continued with
him for three yeas, when he took a course of lectures at
the Ohio Medical College at Cincinnati, from which
institution he was graduated in 1851. After
completing the examination, he was appointed one of the
Internes of the Commercial Hospital of Cincinnati, Ohio,
which position he filled for a twelve month, and then
took up his abode in Sidney, where he has since been
engaged in active practice, with the exception of four
years, when he served as Surgeon in the army.
Dr. Wilson was the first man to join the
army from this city, being appointed Assistant Surgeon
for the First Ohio Infantry, Apr. 18, 1861. He was
present with his regiment at the first battle of Bull
Run, and after three months was appointed Assistant
Surgeon of the First Ohio Infantry, with which he
remained until 1863, being then appointed Surgeon of the
One Hundred and Thirteenth Ohio Infantry. He
remained with that regiment as Field Surgeon until the
close of the war, and during his last year had charge of
the division hospitals of his division. After the
battle of Stone River, Dr. Wilson had oversight
of the field hospital of the division for two months,
and, with that exception, was always at the front.
Dr. Wilson received his honorable
discharge July 6, 1865, and, returning to Sidney,
resumed the practice of medicine and surgery, and now is
ranked among the finest physicians in the State.
For seventeen years after the close of the war, he
served as Pension Examiner for this county, and for the
past two years has been President of the Examining Board
of Pensioners for Sidney. Dr. Wilson,
in addition to carrying on his extensive practice, has a
finely-equipped drug store, from which branch of
business he reaps a handsome income. He is a
member of the Ohio Medical Society, and the Shelby
County Medical .Society. He is a frequent
contributor to medical journals, giving accurate
expression to his opinions, making wise queries, and
placing clearly before other readers any experiment or
incident that has a bearing upon their work. He
has built up a large and lucrative practice, and during
his residence here performed some of the most difficult
surgical operations.
Oct. 26, 1871, Dr. Wilson and Miss
Irene Ayres were united in marriage. The
lady was born at Wapakoneta, and is the daughter of
Jeremiah and Raehel (Baker) Ayres.
To them has been given a daughter, Jessie, who is
now finishing her education in the College of Music at
Cincinnati. The Doctor erected a handsome brick
residence in 1871, which is pleasantly located at No.
911 Main Avenue. He is a member of the Loyal
Legion, and is a Grand Army man.
