D IAL, JOHN C., of Hart township, was born October 15, 1817, in Clermont county, Ohio, near Batavia. His early educa- tional advantages were limited to about two months every two years in the backwoods schools of that time. He received the greatest part of his education by private tutorage and at a very early age was a master of Smiley's arithmetic as taught at that time and he was considered a critical grammarian by his instruc- tors. He was well acquainted with General U. S. Grant when the latter was a cadet at West Point and his reminiscenses of the illustrious warrior are interesting and amusing. Mr. Dial has been married three times. February roth, 1842, he was married

to Isabella Brooks, of Clermont county, Ohio, and they had seven children. She died February 11, 1856. On January Ist, 1857, he was married to Josephine Myrick, also a native of Clermont county, Ohio, and the result of this union was three children. Her death occurred August 11, 1865. February 27, 1866 he was married to Mrs. Rachel Edwards, nee Abshire- his present wife-who is a native of Warrick county. In 1842 Mr. Dial came to Warrick county and settled in Hart township, where he now lives. At that time there were no roads through that section of country between the Boonville and Lynnville and Boonville and Crowville roads and it was chiefly through his instrumentality that the present highways were opened. Wild game was plentiful and the country was very sparsely settled. Mr. Dial has always been a Democrat, rather preferring to serve his party than ask of it official favor.


ICKEY, FINES J., M. D., was born at Ridgeway, Gallatin county, Illinois, May 4th, 1854. In 1876 he commenced the study of homœpathy with Dr. E. J. Ehrman, of Evansville, and graduated at the Pulte Medical College, of Cincinnati, March 4th, 1879. He came to Boonville the same month and commenced the practice of medicine, and has been remarkably successful. He is the leading homopathic physician in this section.


CKSTEIN, LEONARD, a leading grocer of Boonville, was born in Jackson county, Indiana, in 1847. He came to Boonville in 1871 in poor circumstances. He chopped wood and did team- ing for the Lake Erie, Evansville & Southwestern railroad, being built at that time, and afterward engaged in marketing. By strict

economy and close application to business he accumulated suf- ficient means to engage in the grocery business in 1877. To-day he is one of the leading business men in the county. His suc- cess may all be attributed to his sterling business principles. Mr. Eckstein was married, in 1870, to Louisa Price, of Jackson county, and they now have two children.


(WEN. GEORGE, M. D., was born in Philadelphia, on April 19th, 1832, and his parents were Jeddiah and Ellen Ewen. He received his education partly in the schools at Philadelphia, and partly in Delaney Academy, at Newburgh, where he at- tended four school terms. The summer of 1844 he spent on the Ohio river, in the storeboat business. His parents came to New- burgh in January, 1845. During 1849 and 1850 he was a clerk in the store of A. M. Phelps, Esq., and during the winter of 1850 and 1851 he taught school in Ohio township. In 1852 he went to Philadelphia for the purpose of learning the drug business, and served an apprenticeship of two years, with J. Bringhurst, returning to Newburgh in 1854. He then went to Evansville and was engaged as a clerk in the well-known whole- sale drug establishment of Keller & White. However, he re- turned home, and, during the winter of 1855 and 1856, again taught school in Warrick county. In 1856 he commenced the study of medicine under Doctor J. R. Tilman, of Newburgh, and during the winters of 1856 and 1857 attended medical lec- tures at Keokuk, Iowa. He was in the Marine Hospital, in Evansville, with Doctor M. J. Bray, from May, 1857, to March, 1858, when he formed a partnership with Dr. J. S. Houghland, of Eureka, Spencer county, Indiana, where he practiced medi- cine until 1866. In July, 1866, he came to Wheatonville, War- rick county, Indiana, and has been practicing there since. Doc-

tor Ewen is one of the oldest and most successful physicians in the county, being third among the oldest. Four years practical and skillful experience in compounding drugs, with a thorough course of instruction in medicine, qualified him in an extraor- dinary degree for the practice of his profession.


(ULLER, WILLIAM W., superintendent of the Warrick county schools, was born July 29, 1856, in Hart township, War- rick county. His parents were Isham and Agnes Fuller, and he is a brother to Hon. Benoni S. Fuller. In 1874 he entered the Oakland Normal Institute, and attended two terms. He also attended the Worthington (Indiana) High School during 1876. He has taught school and been identified with the educational interests of the county for several years. In 1880 he entered the Indiana State University, and was a member of the sopho- more class at the time of his election to the office of county superintendent, in June, 1881. He is, doubtless, the youngest county superintendent in the State. Mr. Fuller is a young gentleman of rare ability and promise, and is very popular among the people generally.


RAHAM. ROBERT M., editor and proprietor of the Boonville Standard, was born November 10th, 1849, in Boonville, where he lived with his parents until eleven years old, when they removed to a farm, in Hart township, Warrick county. His education consisted of such as he could obtain in the common country schools, after which he attended the Boonville High School one term. Possessing an insatiable thirst for knowledge, and a very retentive memory, he has, however, by a habit of desultory reading, gained an extensive knowledge of general


161

literature. July 26, 1872, he was married to Mary J. Hunsaker. In 1873, under the firm name of J. B. Graham & Son, he en- gaged in the drug business at Lynnville. In the meantime he taught school in winter, and studied medicine under Doctor S. L. Tyner. In 1876 he commenced practice in Spencer county, opposite Owensboro, Kentucky, where he remained one year. He also practiced at Folsomville one year; after which he re- linquished medicine and engaged in school teaching. He taught the graded school, at Lynnville, in 1872-73, and has been prin- cipal of the Folsomville Graded School three terms. In 1880, he was defeated in a candidacy for superintendent of War- rick county. He left the teachers' ranks as one of the foremost educators of the county, and, in July, 1881, assumed full edito- rial and business control of the Boonville Standard. Although he has now been in the newspaper business but a short time, he has evinced considerable journalistic ability. He has been a contributor to the educational periodicals of the State and is the author of a work designed for use as a text book for youthful students, entitled "United States Rectangular Survey," which has been highly recommended by the leading educators of the State.


H EIM, CONSTANTINE, one of the leading citizens of Campbell township, was born February 25, 1837, in Eisfeld, Duchy of Meiningen, Germany. He received his education at the Academy of Saalfeld, which he attended from his sixth to his twelfth year. In 1852 his parents emigrated to America and came direct to Vanderburgh county. His father's avocation was that of an apothecary, and, in partnership with John Laval, he practiced medicine at Evansville about ten months.


In 1853 he came to Warrick county and engaged in farm-

ing. January 6th, 1859, Constantine Heim was married to Minerva Lockyear, of Warrick county, and they had seven chil- dren. She died March 20th, 1874. Mr. Heim was married to Rhoba F. Herston on October 24th, 1874, and by this marriage has had three children. Mr. Heim has obtained an extraordin- ary knowledge of the English language by close application, and he speaks it with a fluency rarely met with in one of his nationality. Politically he is a Republican, and, in 1880, was the candidate of his party for treasurer of Warrick county, but was defeated by a greatly reduced majority. He is a very in- telligent gentleman, of a sociable, complaisant disposition, and he is highly esteemed by his fellow-citizens for his integrity and sterling worth.

EIM, ADOLPH WOLDEMAR, trustee of Campbell township, was born June 12, 1839, in Eisfeld, Duchy of Meiningen, Germany. He received his education at the Academy of Saal- feld, in his native country, but left before graduating. His pa- rents came to America in 1852, and located at Evansville, where the subject attended a select school awhile, taught by a Yankee. This was the only English schooling he received. In 1853 he removed with his parents to Warrick county, and engaged in farming. However, his occupation of later years has chiefly been teaching. He taught district school No. 9, in Camp- bell township, from 1866 until 1881, successively, which, in point of continuity, is without a parallel in the school history of the county. He holds the highest attainable license, and his teach- ing is characterized by thoroughness, practicability, system and strict decorum. In 1880 Mr. Heim was elected trustee of Campbell township on the Republican ticket. There were three

candidates for the office, and although the township was largely Democratic, he received a majority of sixty-four, while the larg- est number of votes received by the opposition was ninety-four. He possesses in an eminent degree the qualifications requisite for the office, and fills it satisfactorily to his constituents. February 19, 1864, Mr. Heim was married to Letitia Lockyear. They have four children-three boys and one girl.


J ONES, T. B., M. D., of Lynnville, was born November 28th, 1841, in Spencer county, Indiana. The occupation of his father, Thompson M. Jones, was farming. The subject receiv- ed his education in the schools of Spencer county and at an early age commenced the study of medicine. August 26, 1861, he enlisted in company C, of the forty-second Indiana regiment, as a private, but was promoted to the rank of captain while in the service. He participated in all the battles of his company and was in the service until July 2d, 1865, when they were mustered out.


In 1867 he entered the Ohio Medical College of Cincinnati and graduated in 1870. During the same year he located at Pleasantville, Pike county, and practiced there until March, 1873, when he removed to Lynnville and entered into a partner- ship with Dr. S. L. Tyner, which, with the exception of two years that the latter was at Boonville, has continued until the present. April 25, 1872, Doctor Jones was married to Emma Zimmerman, of Lynnville, and they have two children. Doctor Jones possesses in an eminent degree those qualities of mind and temperament which are required to meet humanity in its more delicate and sickly phases pleasantly, and his knowledge of med- icine is very thorough and practical; hence, he is a very success-

ful physician. He is regarded as one of the leading physicians of the county and is highly respected and beloved as a citizen.

M CCOY, JOSEPH S., M. D., a successful medical practitioner of Wheatonville, Warrick county, was born April 6th, 1850, near Midway, Spencer county, Indiana. His parents were William and Fanny McCoy. His education was princi- pally obtained in the common schools of Spencer county, and during the terms of 1868 and 1869 he attended the academy at Grandview, Indiana. He taught school in Spencer county one year, and in Warren county, Kentucky, eighteen months. He commenced the study of medicine under Dr. J. R. Temple, but afterward studied under his brother, Dr. T. J. McCoy. He entered the Louisville Medical College in 1873, and graduated in 1876. In the same year he commenced the practice of med- icine at Wheatonville, where he has since remained. Doctor McCoy is a genial young gentleman, warm-hearted and courte- ous. His acquaintance is easily cultivated, and he possesses the rare gift of bringing social sunshine, as well as medical skill, into the sick room. During the five years he has been at Wheaton- ville he has built up a wide practice, and has won the esteem of the people. He is now only thirty-one years old, and his career as a practitioner may be said to be only in the bud. Politically, he is a Democrat, and is one of the most influential members of that party in Greer township.


M OORE, ROBERT DALE OWEN, the youngest son of Judge J. W. B. Moore, was born in Boonville, February 25th, 1848. His education was limited to such advantages as were afforded by the local schools at that time, which were compara-

tively poor, owing, in part, to the unsettled condition caused by the war. However, he spent one year at Asbury University, at Greencastle, Indiana. In 1869, he commenced the study of law with his brother, Hon. Isaac S. Moore, one of the ablest law- yers in the State, and, in 1872, was admitted to a partnership. In 1878 he was nominated by the Democratic primary election for clerk of Warrick county, and was elected. Among the mi- nor offices which he has held was that of clerk of Boonville, in 1869; town treasurer, from 1871 to 1875, and town attorney two or three years. He was married to Blanche Barkwell, of Rockport, Indiana, January 23rd, 1868. They have three chil- dren-two boys and one girl. Mr. Moore is a liberal, obliging gentleman, and is generally well known and well liked through- out the county. Politically, he is, and has always been, a Dem- ocrat. He is one of the most active members of the party in this county, meriting by his untiring services the honorable rec- ognition which he has received.


P ATTERSON, WILLIAM H., was born September 17th, 1847, five miles south of Boonville. His father, Rev. Nicholas M. Patterson, was one of the earliest Methodist preachers in this county, and was one of the old-time circuit riders. He was one of the most successful revivalists in his day, was a good man, and generally beloved. After receiving a common school education, William taught school to obtain money with which to attend college. He attended Asbury University, at Greencastle, Indiana, for a short time, but afterward entered the Rockport Collegiate Institute, where he graduated in 1870. He again engaged in school-teaching, and read law at home in the mean- time, Judge Isaac S. Moore being his preceptor. He was ad- mitted to the bar in 1873. September 14th, of the same


166

year, he was married to Emma Taylor, daughter of Robert Taylor, Esq., of Boonville. Becoming financially embarrassed, in 1875, he accepted a position as principal of the graded school, at Poseyville, Indiana, at a salary of $75 per month. He taught Latin, higher mathematics, and the higher branches, which had never before been taught there, and gave general satisfaction. At the close of his school he returned to Boonville and again engaged in practicing law. In May, 1879, he entered into part- nership with John L. Taylor, and has been quite successful in his profession. He has twice held the office of attorney of Boon- ville, and one term as clerk. Mr. Patterson is very studious, and is one of the most promising young members of the Boonville bar.


P ELZER, FREDERICK WILLIAM, the subject of this sketch , was born October 10th, 1843, at Osnabreck, Germany. His father was a blacksmith, and in good circumstances. After re- ceiving such common school education as was to be obtained in his native village, he served an appreticeship in his father's blacksmith shop. In 1860 he emigrated to America, landing at New Orleans, and he came direct to Warrick county. He worked at his trade in Boonville, and on the farm, alternatively, until 1866, when he located where he now resides; and his resi- dence, by the way, is one of the finest and most convenient in the county. May 9th, 1872, he was married to Amelia Goett- lich, a native of Long Island. The result of this union has been five children.


Mr. Pelzer belongs to the class of " self-made men," and is one of the most enterprising citizens of the county. The " His- tory of Warrick County," by D. J. Lake & Co., truly says : " He

is one of the foremost in all public as well as private enterprises." He is well informed on the general topics of the day, and he is a very genial and pleasant gentleman. While he has always been an active member of the Republican party, he has never sought political favor. He is also a very prominent member of the Masonic order. He manifests a great deal of pride in the county's development and progress, and is one of the kind that makes a thrifty community.


T ILMAN, DOCTOR J. R., of Newburgh, was born August 8th, 1826, in Cumberland county, Kentucky. His grand- father was a native of Virginia and was born on a plantation adjoining Thomas Jefferson's home. The name at that time was spelled Tilghman. Doctor Tilman graduated at the Evansville Medical College in 1850 and at once commenced practicing at . Taylorsville, Warrick county, where he remained seven years. He was instrumental in having a postoffice established at that place and was the first postmaster. After practicing in Newburgh three years he entered the Jefferson Medical College of Philadel- phia and graduated in 1860. At the beginning of the late war he laid aside all business and devoted his time to the union cause. He was assistant surgeon in the sixtieth Indiana regiment and was seriously crippled for life, being compelled to resign after three months' service. Having the public interest always in view, he is one of the class of citizens who exert a marked influence for good in the community.


W ILDE, GOTTFRIED OTTO EUGENE, son of Carl J. G. and Franziska Wilde, was born in Schlochow, Pomerania, Prussia, May 15th, 1842. His parents were very wealthy. He


168

attended St. Peter's College at Danzig, Prussia, seven years, and graduated in 1858. He received a scientific education and it was here that he obtained his knowledge of chemistry. In 1869 he emigrated to America and in the winter of 1870 enter- ed into the drug business in Boonville in the building he now occupies. He was married to Mary Sasse in 1871. Mr. Wilde is a leading member of the German Evangelical Lutheran church at this place and is a highly esteemed citizen.


W HITTINGHILL, WINFIELD SCOTT, was born October 28th, 1850, in Pigeon township, Warrick county. He is the eldest son of Pleasant N. and Abagail J. Whittinghill. He worked on the farm with his father until twenty-one years old and was eighteen years of age before he started to school. His education has been obtained principally in the common schools of the county. He attended the Oakland Normal Institute at. Oakland City, Indiana, three terms and also attended two terms of a select school taught at Taylorsville, Warrick county, by Prof. Will Link. During the winter of 1873 he took a thorough course at the Evansville Commercial College. When twenty-one years old he commenced teaching school and has since taught seven terms in all, three of which were at the graded school in Pigeon township and two terms as principal of the Taylorsville graded school. In 1876 he was the Republican candidate for assessor of Pigeon township and, although the township has always been largely Democratic, he was elected. In 1880 the Republicans nominated him for trustee, but this time he was defeated. Mr. Whittinghill is one of the foremost young men of his section and he possesses the ability and tact to accomplish almost anything he undertakes.
