Ile came to Ohio in the fall of 1813 and joined his brother Uri who had preceded him one year, at Worthington. He availed himself of such opportunities as Worthington afforded for improving his education, and about 1816 or 1817 commenced the study of medicine at Worthington and after- ward went to l'rbana. Ohio, where he took a course of instruction in the office of Doctor Carter, being one of a class of ten students under Carter, who, upon the com- pletion of the course, gave them a "certificate" of the fact. James Comstock, who was afterward his colleague and partner in business, and also Doctor Mosgrove, of I'rbana, were of this "class." He located where Amity now stands about 1820, being then in his twenty-second year. The amount of professional business transacted in those days, when physicians were scarce, was only limited by their capacity to labor ; they traveled over. on horseback, a territory extending often to fifteen or twenty miles in all directions.


For some years after about 1833. Doctor Beach was the leading merchant in the north part of the county, and subsequently began to place his capital in real estate. For several years he was the largest landholder and the heaviest trader in live stock. and the heaviest capitalist that Darby township had ever had. In 1853, when lands in the north part of the county were worth from thirty to forty dollars an aere, he began to sell out, and going to Illinois invested his money in land warrants that were then abundant in the market at eighty cents an acre, and located several thou- sand acres of land in McLean, Ford, Kankakee and Livingston counties. He married Edith Bull, of Franklin county. Ohio, near Worthington, about the time he commenced the practice of medicine.

In 1850 he was a Whig member from Madison county in the Ohio Legislature and was elected a member of the Ohio constitutional convention in 1850.

very accomplished lady. Their history was known at Amity, and it was thought she began to regret the folly of her conduct. She was much admired by all classes of people there, and her influence had much to do in refining the society by which she was surrounded. It was a hard struggle with her husband to make a respectable living, as he did not succeed in becoming a popular practitioner. She sickened and died and her body was started for Buffalo, by the way of Cleveland, in a two-horse wagon. Two days after it had left, her father, Judge Clark, came to Amity to see her, having been notified of her illness, having passed the body of his unfortunate child on the road.

Dr. Abel W. Field, a New York state man, came to Madison county about 1835, and settled over on the Darby plains, where he lived for several years, at the end of which time he moved to Amity, about 1842, probably as early or earlier than the time of Ashbaw or Davis. He had a fair practice, and was very popular. He was killed while returning from a professional call, by being thrown from his sulky, on the 9th of August, 1851. He was the father of Dr. Archelaus Field, later a wealthy and prom- inent physician of Ft. Des Moines, Iowa; of Dr. Orestes G. Field, of South Solon, this county, and of Capt.
