MITCHEL & STULTS
Marble Works of MITCHELL & STULTS, Zanesville, O.
IN 1828 Mr. M. C. Mitchell settled at Zanesville, and in 1857 established a marble yard on the northeast corner of Market and Fourth streets. He had but little capital save energy, honesty and an indomitable will. The business steadily pros- pered, and about 1863 caused him to purchase ninety-seven feet on Fourth street, and onc hun- dred and thirty-two feet on Market street. On the latter site he crected a substantial business building, and on the former a well finished and durable residence. IIc had been importing Scotch
granite, which for a time won its way so largely in popular favor. In January, 1876, Mr. Mitchell admitted to partnership Mr. A. P. Stults, who has contributed much to the popularity of the enter- prisc. Messrs Mitchell & Stults transact a busi- ness that will compare very favorably with any similar concern in Central Ohio. At their yards may be found a full and complete stock of foreign and domestic marble, Scotch and American granite monuments.

PAROCHIAL SCHOOL.
This was opened in 1842, in a small frame building, on the site of the present brick structure, and served its purpose until 1870, when it gave way for the commodious building now occupied ; this school building cost between $7.000 and $8,000.
The school is under the supervision of the Parish Priest, and taught by Sisters of the Order of St. Francis. The attendance is about 240; capacity of the school building is about 250. The school is sustained chiefly by subscription.
The following Priests, officiating at the church, have been also in charge of the school : Father's Gallinger, Otto Borgess, Henry Rensen, M. Deselears, M. Herzog, William Deters, J. C. Kramer, J. W. Brummer, A. Berger, F. J. Goetz, G. Uhlinger, A. Berger, the second time, A. Hechinger, John J. Rauck, J. G. Nordmeyer, and, in the spring of 1869, the present incum- bent. Rev. Magnus Eppink.
German and English are taught in the school.
ST. COLUMBIA'S ACADEMY.
building, a commodious brick structure, oc- cupies the southwest corner of Fifth and North streets, and, until 1873, was a day and board- ing school foryoung ladies. In 1863, the build- ing was partially consumed by fire, and im- mediately rebuilt. From the time of its discon- tinuance as a day and boarding school, it has been known as St. Thomas' Parochial School, yet it retains the first name.
The school, like all parochial schools, is under the supervision of the Parish Priest. The teach- ers, from the beginning, have been of the Order of Dominican Nuns.
This is a graded school, and Music and French are included in the curriculum. The average attendance is about 275.
The following members of the Order of Priest- hood, have superintended the school: L. C. Eagan, C. V. Edlin, P. C. Coll, and the present Parish Priest, Rev. J. A. Bokel.
GERMAN LUTHERAN SCHOOL.
The first record of an effort to organize a school of this denomination, was made by Chas. Dieterly, about 1860. He was succeeded by Schumann, who died, and the school was discontinued until 1866, when a Mr. Diersen, re-opened ; but the effort was not an entire success until 1871, when E. H. Dress became the Principal. During this year, the present substantial brick school house was erected, at a cost of about $2,000. One as- sistant teacher has been employed, from the date of organization under Mr. Dress.
The school is controlled by a Board of Educa- tion, consisting of three members of the church, and elected by the congregation. The Board in 1880: John Bonnet, Jr., A. H. Stern, and John Riehl. The pastor of the church is ex-officio President of the Board of Education, although not elected to that office.
The school is supported by subscription. The average attendance is about 100. The exercises are conducted in German and English ; the fore- noons in the former, and the afternoons in the latter language.
ZANESVILLE BUSINESS COLLEGE.
This institution was opened April, 1866, by J. C. Small and J. J. Dinsmore, under the name of "Small's Business College ;" it continued under their management for two years, at which time, J. W. Roll and F. M. Choquill became proprie- tors, under the firm name of Roll and Choquill ; the name was changed by them to that of "Zanes- ville Business College," and so continued to the present. April, 1876, F. M. Choquill became sole proprietor, and conducted the business, with the assistance of H. B. Parsons, till 1880, when H. B. Parsons became associate principal and proprietor.
During the past fourteen years, over two thou- sand students have been enrolled, and many of the young men who have been connected with it, now hold first-class positions in the largest bank-

OGFarquhar
ORLANDO C. FARQUHAR, M. D., Physician and Surgeon, was born near Salem, Columbiana county, Ohio, Mareh 4th, 1835. His parents were of Scotch descent, and in religious faith belonged to the Society of Friends, or Quakers. He was educated primarily in the village school of Putnam (now the Ninth ward of the city of Zanesville), under the instructions of Professor Z. M. Chandler. The first move- ment made after leaving school was a trip down the Mus- kingum and the Ohio rivers, on a trading flat boat. About two years were thus spent in the Western waters and trib- utaries, at the expiration of which time he returned home and devoted himself, after due consideration, to the study of medicine and surgery.
After remaining as a student three years in the office of his father, Dr. E. A. Farquhar, Sr., he attended lectures at the Medical College of Ohio, at Cincinnati, during 1857 and 1858. Upon quitting this institution the practice of med- icine was begun at Putnam, in partnership with his father, and continued until 1875, when the firm was dissolved by mutual consent, Dr. O. C. Farquhar retiring. In 1872 hc graduated at the University of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Up to the present time, 1882, he has devoted his time to the investigation and cure of special discases. He devotes his whole time to the treatment of chronic diseases only, in which line he has won an enviable reputation by reason of the many cures that he has performed where a cure seemed almost beyond the skill of any physician. His practice extends to nearly every county of the State, and he is consulted by persons living in nearly every State of the Union.
He always takes a lively interest in literary and polit- ical matters. Is a frequent contributor to several scientific, medical, and pharmaceutical journals, and is a welcome
contributor to the columns of the several newspapers of Zanesville. For several years past he has taken an active interest in municipal political proceedings. For six years he was a valued member of the Board of Educa- tion, was subsequently a member of the village Council of Putnam, and became prominent as an able advocate of the annexation of Putnam to the city of Zauesville -- an event which was brought about in a great measure through his earnest and well directed labors. After the accomplish- ment and ratification of that annexation, the members of the dominant party elected him on the Republican ticket to represent them in the City Council for two years. After the expiration of his first term he has been continued as a member of the City Council to the present, with the exception of one year. During his long service as a member of the Council he has been presiding offiecr three terms successively, and during the ficrecness of political debate, when excitement ran high, his decisions were char- aeterizcd with deliberation and fairness. Hc conceived the idea of beginning the City Parks, and at once gave his conceptions shape, and planted out the trees on Putnam Hill, known at this time as Putnam Hill Park. So devoted was he to the development of this park that the newspapers of the day dubbed him the " Daddy of the Park."
During the exciting times of what was known as the Ten- perance Crusade, he had the moral courage to write an ordinanec, and work for the repeal of the prohibitory ordi- nanee which was then in force. He thought by so doing he was materially lessening the evils resulting from the strin- gency of the prohibitory ordinance.
He was married April 2d, 1856, to Elizabeth Janc Irvine, who died in 1859. June 7th, 1860, he was again married to Mary L. Ransom, of Coshocton, Ohio, who still lives.

This was "the first drug store in all this region."
