CYRUS D. FISHBURN, M. D., of Cincinnati, Ohio, is a native of Pennsylvania; born in Hummelstown, Dauphin county, October 27, 1832.
John Philip Fishburn, his great-grandfather, emigrated from Germany to this country in 1749. His son, Philip Fishburn, was a successful farmer of colonial times, and during the war of the Revolution was a soldier. He also served in the War of 1812. He reared a large family, of which Jonas was the father of the subject of this sketch.
Jonas Fishburn's family consisted of four children— Isaac, the oldest son, now practising as a physician in Stephenson county, Illinois; Cyrus D., Amanda and George. The last named was a stock-raiser and farmer near Portland, Oregon. He died at the age of thirty-seven, from a stroke of paralysis, in August, 1880.
Jonas Fishburn removed to Iowa in 1856 and engaged in agricultural pursuits until his death, which occurred in 1877, at tne age of seventy-four years. He was a man who appreciated the worth of an education, and before coming west had removed his family to the village of Womelsdorf, Berks county, Pennsylvania, for the purpose of educating his children. Cyrus D. Fishburn remained there at school until fifteen years of age, when he went to Phillips academy, Andover, Massachusetts, and began a preparatory course for Harvard or Yale; but financial embarrassment in the family now, materially changed all his future plans. The father proposed a medical career; but the son had inclinations for law, and we judge his keensightedness had forseen a brilliant future, that would undoubtedly have awaited him had he chosen that profession ; but obeying the wish of his parent, he entered the office of Dr. William Moore, of Womelsdorf, an intelligent and finely educated physician who had an extensive practice. He, here, thoroughly prepared himself for entering a medical college. While a student he was obliged to assume the responsibilities of a large practice, in consequence of a serious accident which happened to his preceptor. The responsibilities resting upon him were undesirable for one so young in the profession, but in the end were very advantageous. He graduated in the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, in the year 1854. After remaining one year with his preceptor he located in Elizabethtown, Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, where he remained two years more. Being impressed with the brilliant prospects of the west, he prepared himself with excellent letters of introduction and travelled through the States of Michigan and Iowa in search of a location.
The doctor having more energy than money kept up the search. One incident should be recorded as it did much to develope the power of the man and lead him to the prominent success he afterwards attained. He was determined to earn his living even if he had to re-soft to manual labor; and was almost led to this straitened state of circumstances when he was introduced to the late Dr. Pitcher, of Detroit, an eminent physician, and president at that time of the National Medical association. He was introduced as a young man of some worth in the profession looking for a new home; when the old gentleman dryly remarked, "If he only don't look for one already made." The remark was painfully true. He had indeed been looking for just such a place, and probably his steps thither had been hastened for its accomplishment. Such a greeting, so chilling and unexpected, served to arouse his native energies and he thereafter sought no partnership unless he was sure that he could contribute his full share to the success of the association.
Leaving Detroit he arrived in Cleveland, Ohio, but after staying one month he departed for Cincinnati. The idea that hard work, well directed, is sure to win, began to appear to be untrue. He arrived in Cincinnati in 1858 with but ten dollars in his pocket. He at once formed a temporary partnership with an old acquaintance, Dr. Peter Malone, and began practice on Broadway near Third street; but being too far away from his German patrons he removed to Vine near Court street, into an office recently occupied by the late Dr. George Fries, a distinguished physician and surgeon, and one who did much to assist the willing efforts of his younger colleague. He received much encouragement from this kind gentleman, and a lasting friendship sprung up between them. From this time his practice grew rapidly and became extensive, and he is now recognized by the citizens of Cincinnati and vicinity as being eminently successful in his profession. He removed to the corner of Vine street and McMicken avenue, then called Hamilton road, in i860. In 1874 he built his present commodious house, No. 70 McMicken avenue, in which he has since resided. In 1866 he married Miss Louise Billiods, daughter of one of the earliest pioneers of Cincinnati. In 1878 she died, leaving a son. Her affectionate nature, gentle ways, and love of home, combined with her excellent judgment, made her a model wife, her home a paradise, and life a constant happiness.
Dr. Fishburn is known by the citizens of Cincinnati and by the profession to be an indefatigable worker. His efforts to attain success are worthy of imitation by those who wish to be prepared for the responsibilities of an extensive practice; for no doubt his success in life is due to the energy he has displayed in overcoming all obstacles that blocked his way. He has been twice elected and is now one of the directors of the University of Cincinnati, The doctor was, unsolicited, elected in 1873 a member of the board of alderman of the city. He is, at the present writing, in the prime of life and vigor of manhood, and actively engaged in his professional duties. His untiring zeal in private and public life has made him a valuable citizen, and has added materially to the welfare and prosperity of his adopted city.

MILTON THOMPSON CAREY, M. D., born near the town of Hardin, in Shelby county, Ohio, July 22, 1831. The advantages for acquiring an education during his early boyhood were somewhat meagre and limited; but notwithstanding this, at the age of eighteen years his preparatory education was of sufficient character to justify him to enter upon the study of medicine. After three years' pupilage, and shortly before he was of age, he graduated in medicine in the Ohio Medical college, and, as a reward of merit and distinction in the class, after a competitive examination, was appointed resident physician of the Commercial Hospital and Lunatic asylumn. After his term of service expired in this institution he began the general practice of his profession. He received appointment as attending physician to the Venereal and Contagious hospital in 1852-3; was appointed demonstrator of anatomy by the trustees of the Ohio Medical college, which position he occupied until the spring of 1856; and was elected coroner of Hamilton county, Ohio, in the fall of 1857, and served two years. At the breaking out of the war he was examined by the State board of examiners, was appointed and commissioned surgeon Forty-eighth regiment Ohio volunteer infantry November 21, 1861, and assigned to duty as post surgeon at Camp Dennison, Ohio. After organizing a post hospital and assisting in the organization of several regiments he was ordered into active duty in the field in the spring of 1862, took part in the battle of Pittsburgh Landing, or Shiloh, and was captured on the first day of the battle, April 6th, and remained a prisoner of war until July 2, 1862, at which "time he was paroled and returned home. Soon after his arrival at home he was ordered to Camp Chase, Ohio, and assigned to duty as post surgeon, in which capacity he served until October of the same year, at which time he was ordered to join the army at Fort Pickering, Tennessee. He was with with the army at the time of the assault upon Vicks-burgh, was likewise a participant in the battle of Arkansas Post, January n, 1863, and was attacked with camp fever at Young's Point, in consequence of which his health became so impaired that he was compelled to resign his commission and return home. Not content to remain idle in the great struggle in which the government was engaged, as soon as his health was somewhat restored he made application for and received the appointment of acting assistant surgeon, and was assigned to duty as surgeon in Woodward Post hospital in this city, in which capacity he served until the war was well nigh ended. He was reelected coroner of Hamilton county in 1865 and served two years; was elected to the common council in 1872 and served two years, and was elected by the common council a member of the board of directors of Longview asylum. After serving nearly two terms he was reappointed to that position by the governor of the State. He was elected as a representative of the Twenty-second ward to the board of education in 1880 and 1881, and is now a member of the Cincinnati Relief union, which position he has held many years, likewise member of the board of directors and vice-president of the eleventh district associated charities. As an evidence of his success in his profession there are but few medical men in Cincinnati who have been more successful in a financial point of view than he. He began poor, but by energy, economy and industry his investments yield him a liberal competency aside from the income of his profession. As a medical officer in the army he attained some distinction as an operator—see reports on file in the medical department, and circular No. 2, page 23, surgeon-general's office at Washington, D. C. The many tokens of confidence upon the part of his fellow-citizens are highly gratifying to him, and it is but fair to say that every trust has been faithfully and scrupulously discharged.

DR. C. O. WRIGHT.
Charles Olmsted Wright, M. D., is a native of Columbus, Ohio, born December 26, 1835, oldest child of Dr. I Marmaduke Burr Wright and Mrs. Mary L. (Olmsted) Wright. Her father, Philo H. Olmsted, was in his day one of the most prominent men in Central Ohio, and for | many years was editor of the State Journal, of that city. The elder Wright was the famous physician of that name, who spent a large part of his professional life in this city, and is appropriately noticed in our chapter on medicine in Cincinnati. He survived until August 15, 1879, when he died here, full of years and honors. Mrs. Wright is still living, in a hale and vigorous age.
Charles was but three years old, when the family was removed to Cincinnati by a call to his father to occupy the chair of Materta Medica in the Ohio Medical college. His primary and in part higher education was taken in the public schools of the city, but stopped when a member of the Hughes high school without graduating, in 1852, with the intention of accompanying his parents to Europe. This intention was abandoned, for the sake of the younger children, who needed his care; and he took instead a special course of one year in the Ohio Wesleyan university at Delaware. Leaving this institution in 1853, he began practice in civil engineering at the tunnel then being constructed under Walnut Hills, as is elsewhere related in this history; but was soon compelled by ill health to seek a more quiet, indoor life. In 1855 he began the study of medicine with Dr. W. W. Dawson, with whom he read for a year, when, under friendly advice, he went to California and engaged in merchandizing there for about six months, during which he had great experience of the rough and tumble side of life. He was presently burnt out, however, losing his entire stock, and was then seized with the spirit of adventure, pushed across the Pacific to the Sandwich Islands and thence to the Chinese coast, where he enjoyed a breadth and minuteness of observation then not often vouchsafed to a foreigner. Thence he made his way home the rest of his journey around the world, via Japan, Siam, Calcutta, Bombay, through the Chusan Archipelago, the island of Manilla and along the west coast of Africa. From San Francisco to Cincinnati he occupied three years with his voyages and land journeys. While in China he found an extensive field for the observation of skin diseases, and decided that, if he followed his father's vocation, he would pay some especial attention to such ailments. Arriving at home, he promptly resumed his medical studies, becoming a member of the Ohio Medical college, and enjoying in addition the instructions of both his father and Dr. Dawson. He took his diploma of Doctor of Medicine in the summer of 1862, went immediately before the State board at Columbus, for examination as a candidate for appointment in the army, passed it successfully, and was appointed assistant surgeon in the Thirty-fifth Ohio volunteer infantry. He was captured at Chickamauga, and for three years was detained as a prisoner at Atlanta and in the famous Libby prison, at Richmond. He was, however, as a medical man, allowed some favors, and was presently released by special exchange, arranged by his friends at "Washington. He rejoined his regiment at Chattanooga, during the cold winter of 1862-3 and the starvation period experienced by the army there. He resigned on the day of the battle at Kenesaw Mountain, during the Atlanta campaign, from ill health, and returned home. He had then reached the full grade of surgeon. Returning home, he was made a resident physician in the Cincinnati hospital, and also went into private practice. In this he had his father's invaluable advice and aid, and soon undertook the same specialities of practice—obstetrics and diseases of women and children. He became a member of the staff of the Good Samaritan hospital and lecturer on skin diseases, and was afterwards one of the physicians in charge of the dispensary. He has always maintained a large private practice, but has found time to write occasional papers for the professional societies and press, and is an active member of the Cincinnati academy of medicine, the Obstetrical society and the State Medical society. He has been called to much service as a medical examiner for the large life-insurance companies, having been examiner, among others, for the Mutual Benefit of New Jersey for sixteen years. He is supreme medical examiner of the Knights of the Golden Rule for the United States, and grand medical examiner for the Ancient Order of United Workmen in Ohio. He does not take a very active part in politics, but retains his membership in the Grand Army of the Republic.
Dr. Wright was married, in March, 1870, to Miss Eva, daughter of David K. and Ann Eliza Cady, of Cincinnati, the former a member of the city school board for thirty years. They have three children living, and one, a little girl, in the grave. The surviving children are David Cady, a boy of nine years; Marmaduke B. (named from the paternal grandfather), in his fourth year; and Ann Eliza (from the maternal grandmother), aged two years. Mary L. died an infant in 1874.

DR. C. S. MUSCROFT.
Charles Sidney Muscroft, M. D., long one of the foremost surgeons of the Ohio valley, is a native of Sheffield, England, born in that part of the city then known as "Little Sheffield," on the fourteenth of February, 1820. His parents were George and Hannah (Chapman) Muscroft. The father was one of the successful manufacturing cutlers in the renowned city of cutlery; but, upon removal to America in 1822, he became rather a jobber in the business. He came to this country against the prohibition of the British Government, which was opposed to the emigration of its skilled workmen; but, departing ostensibly for settlement in Holland, he was enabled to get thence to the new world without difficulty. Landing at Baltimore, his sympathies determined him to join the community experiment being made by Robert Owen at New Harmony, Indiana, and he transported his family and effects in wagons to Brownsville, thence by river vessel to Cincinnati, where he was persuaded by several gentlemen to stay his journey and settle in the rising young city. He was a man of superior intelligence and mechanical genius, a public-spirited citizen, and a very useful member of society and business circles in Cincinnati in the early day. He lived here continuously from the fall of 1825, until April 23, 1845, the birthday of Shakspere (as also Mr. Muscroft), when he died, being then in his fifty-ninth year. He was at the time about to make a new and very notable venture here, in the manufacture of malleable iron, and his death, for this and other reasons, was justly regarded as a public calamity. He was a leading member and founder of the Ohio Mechanics' institute, and had sometimes lectured before that and other scientific bodies in the city on technical and other topics with which he was familiar; and upon his death a fitting series of resolutions was adopted by the institute, sent to his family, and published in the city papers.
     Charles Sidney was the youngest member of the family who lived beyond the period of infancy. He was trained in the private school of the Neifs, in Cincinnati, then the famous academy of Professor Milo G. Williams, and finally the yet more famous academy of Alexander and William Kinmont. For two or three years he assisted his father in mechanical operations, and then, at the age of nineteen, began to read medicine with Dr. Charles L. Avery, son of John L. Avery, formerly sheriff of the county. He also matriculated at the Ohio Medical college, took three full courses of lectures, and was graduated with the diploma of M. D. on the first of March, 1843. The young doctor began practice at once and alone, and has since continuously practiced in the city of his childhood and youth, and always without a partner. For about twelve years he was engaged in general practice, but near the year 1855 began to turn his I attention especially to surgery, in which his chief reputation has been attained. He has since been called to perform most of the grand operations known to surgical science. He has frequently and successfully accomplished the exsection of bones, in one or two cases the removal of all, or very nearly all, the entire fibula. His operation for the removal of the entire ulna is noticed with interest in Dr. Gross' work on the Centennial History of Surgery in America, published in 1876, in which only the names of Drs. Muscroft, R. D. Mussey, and George C. Blackman are mentioned among Cincinnati surgeons. He has devised a new method in the treatment of fractures, discarding the use of splints, and relying solely upon pillows and sand-bags—a method which in his practice has been most eminently successful, and has commended itself extensively to other surgeons. He has also made important contributions to the literature of the profession, as in two papers on the use of sulphate of iron as a local remedy, read respectively before the Ohio medical society and the Academy of Medicine, and others on the exsection of the ulna, descriptive of the case mentioned in the Centennial History by Dr. Gross, the treatment of Asiatic Cholera, the Osteosarcoma of the I Superior Maxilla, two on the Prevention of Syphilis, etc., etc. As chairman of a committee of the Academy of Medicine, to prepare an obituary notice of Dr. George A. Blackman, after his death in 1875, he wrote a sketch of the life and services of the distinguished dead, which was afterwards used bodily in the report of the transactions of the American Medical association, and without - any credit whatever to its author.
For many years Dr. Muscroft was on the medical staff of the Cincinnati hospital. He has maintained a general practice in medicine with reputation and success, and is an active member of the Cincinnati Academy of Medicine, the Ohio State Medical society, and of the American Medical association. He was the first health officer and actuary of the board of health of the city of Cincinnati, in the cholera year of 1849; was for a time surgeon of St. John's hospital, in the city; and during the war was first surgeon of the Tenth Ohio infantry, then, successively, brigade surgeon, medical director, and inspector of hospitals, for certain purposes. He thus had large opportunity for public usefulness—opportunity which was well used for his own reputation and for the benefit of the community and nation.
Dr. Muscroft was united in marriage February 14, 1850, the thirtieth anniversary of his birthday, to Miss Harriet, daughter of Thomas Palmer, one of the founders of the Cincinnati Daily Gazette. They have had five children, only one of whom is living—Dr. Charles S. Muscroft, jr., a promising young physician, who is associated with his father upon the medical staff of St. Mary's hospital. Mrs. Muscroft is still living, a worthy helpmate of her honored husband.
Dr. Muscroft is a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, was one of the founders of the Cuvier club, and otherwise takes a healthy interest in the welfare of his fellows. He was formerly an old-line Whig, but since 1850 has been affiliated with the Democratic party.

DR. P. F. MALEY. Patrick Francis Maley, M. D., a well-known medical practitioner in Cincinnati, and ex-coroner of the county of Hamilton, is a native of the Emerald Isle, being born in the county Mayo, Ireland, on the 15th of January, 1838. He attended the primary schools of his native land until the age of thirteen, soon after attaining which he was removed with his father's family to the promised land beyond the sea. Arriving in America in 1851, the newcomers pushed on to the beautiful valley of the Ohio, and settled in this county. Here the young Patrick was enabled to go on with his course of education, which soon became highly liberal in its character, and included a number of branches in the higher ranges of study. His first business life was as a clerk in the drug store of Mr. J. P. White, in this city, which proved a good beginning of preparation for the profession he was to pursue. He remained with Mr. White seven years, meanwhile taking a diploma from the Cincinnati college of pharmacy, and otherwise perfecting himself thoroughly in the details of the business. His medical reading now began with Dr. John A. Thacker, also of the city, and he presently became a student in the Cincinnati college of medicine and surgery, from which he was graduated in 1861. He was soon diverted from local practice, however, by a summons to serve his country during the great civil struggle which broke out about this time. Being appointed assistant surgeon in the United States navy, he was assigned to duty on the gunboat flotilla, upon the western waters. The next year, near the close of 1862, he was compelled to resign, by reason of swamp fever, contracted during his service at Helena, Arkansas. After his recovery he recommenced practice at home, but was again drawn into the public service by a fresh appointment in the surgical department, for which he was duly examined and pronounced qualified. He was on duty at Jefferson barracks, St. Louis, until September 22, 1863, when, upon his leaving to join the army of General Rosecrans, just before the battle of Chattanooga, he was presented with a silver ice-pitcher and salver by the officers and patients of the hospital at the barracks, as a token of personal esteem and confidence. The ordinary channels of communication to Chattanooga being interrupted, he traveled on foot over the mountains, above seventy miles, in order to reach the next post of duty. During this perilous and toilsome trip all his effects and instruments were lost by the capture of the wagon train conveying them. Reaching Chattanuga at last, he was put at work at once in the Critchfield House, which had become a hospital. He then accompanied a train of sick and wounded soldiers to Nashville, where he finally resigned from the service. Embarking once more in private practice in Cincinnati, he speedily built up a large and lucrative business, which has been steadily maintained and increased to this day. Dr. Maley has found time, however, to do the public some service in official positions. He was an influential member of the board of education of the city for five years; was a councilman from the Fourth ward for two terms; and, upon the death of Dr. Dougherty, coroner of Hamilton county, in the autumn of 1872, he was appointed to fill the vacancy; was regularly elected in 1873, and reelected for the full term the next year. The Biographical Encyclopaedia well said of him during this service: "He has shown his complete qualifications for this public trust, and the honors of the reelections conferred upon him by the public indicate that the people of Cincinnati are amply satisfied with the care and fidelity with which he discharges his duties." Although his convictions and political affiliations had previously been Democratic, Dr. Maley was a supporter of General Garfield for the Presidency in 1880, and received from him a handsome acknowledgment of the Doctor's telegram of congratulation, which has been neatly framed and is among the ornaments of his office and home at the southeast corner of Eighth and John streets.
     Dr. Maley was united in marriage April 23, 1861, to Miss Josephine E., daughter of Mr. A. C. Holcombe, a native of Virginia, and one of the Cincinnati pioneers. She departed this life on the third day of May, 1880, leaving two sons—both now grown to manhood—Edwin Francis, engaged in business as cashier for Rothschild & Sons, at No. 292 West Sixth street; and George Pollock, bilfcKk irr the office of the Cincinnati Southern railroad.

GENERAL HICKENLOOPER.
Andrew Hickenlooper was born in Hudson, Ohio, August 30, 1837. His youth was mostly spent at school till in 1854 he entered the office of A. W. Gilbert, city engineer of Cincinnati. With Mr. Gilbert he remained three years, being admitted into the partnership. In 1859 he became the city surveyor, in which position he confirmed the good opinions which has been formed concerning his efficiency and energy as an engineer. In 1861, under the auspices of General Fremont, Mr. Hickenlooper recruited "Hickenlooper's battery of Cincinnati," afterwards known as the Fifth Ohio independent battery, with which, soon after, he went to Jefferson City, Missouri, where he was appointed commandant of artillery at the post.
In March, 1862, Captain Hickenlooper returned to the command of his battery, and was transferred to Grant's army at Pittsburgh Landing. Three days after the bloody battle there, in which he participated, General McKean appointed him division commandant of artillery. In this capacity he served until after the battles of Iuka and Corinth, when, upon the complimentary reports of his superiors, he was ordered by General Grant, October 26, 1862, to report for staff duty to General McPherson. The connection thus began which was only terminated by the untimely death of his chief. McPherson made him chief of ordnance and artillery, and instructed him to complete the fortifications at Bolivar, and still later he was made, by General McPherson, chief engineer of the Seventeenth army corps.
Throughout the siege of Vicksburgh, Captain Hickenlooper had charge of the engineer operations on the front of the corps, and conducted them so well as to elicit the warm approval of McPherson. The approaches were pushed up until some of the enemy's guns were silenced, and a mine—the first important one of the war —was run under the rebel works. In his honor, General McPherson named one of the forts "Battery Hickenlooper," and made special mention of him in his official reports. In a letter.to Halleck, General McPherson says: "Captain A. Hickenlooper deserves special mention for his ability, untiring energy, and skill in making reconnoissances and maps of the routes passed over, superintending the repairs and construction of bridges, etc., constantly exposing himself day and night. He merits some substantial recognition of his services." And again: "I write, without solicitation, to urge the claims for promotion, by brevet or otherwise, of one of the best, and, at the same time, one of the most modest officers on my staff, Captain Andrew Hickenlooper, Fifth Ohio battery. I first made his acquaintance at Jefferson city, in 1861-2, and was most favorably impressed with his intelligence and military bearing. . . On assuming command at Bolivar, Tennessee, in October, 1862, I was very much in need of an engineer officer, and, knowing his qualifications, I applied to Major General Grant, and had Captain Hickenlooper assigned to me as chief of artillery and engineer officer. He has made a reputation commensurate with the reputation of the corps. As all the Ohio batteries of light artillery are 'independent batteries,' there is no chance for him to obtain promotion in that branch of the service, and I think it but due that the general commanding should give him some token of his appreciation, cheering to the heart of a soldier. I therefore respectfully request that you will present his name for a brevet commission of colonel or lieutenant colonel." After the fall of Vicksburgh, the board of honor of the seventeenth corps awarded him a gold medal, on which was inscribed: "Pittsburgh Landing, siege of Corinth, Iuka, Corinth, Port Gibson, Raymond, Jackson, Champion Hills, Vicksburgh."
     When McPherson took command of the army of the Tennessee, Captain Hickenlooper was made judge-advocate on his staff, and a little later chief of artillery for the department and army of the Tennessee. In this position he accompanied his chief through the Atlanta campaign. After McPherson's death, when General Howard took command of the army, Captain Hickenlooper was returned to his former position of judge advocate, and was made assistant chief of artillery. From this position he was relieved at the request of General F. P. Blair, to accept the position of assistant inspector general Seventeenth army corps, which appointment carried with it the promotion to the rank of lieutenant colonel. After the campaign of the Carolinas was nearly over, he was recommended for a brigadier generalship, —General Howard indorsing that he "knew of no officer in the service whom he would more cordially recommend." General Sherman saying: "He served long and faithfully near General McPherson, and enjoyed his marked confidence; is young, vigorous and well educated, and can fill any commission with honor and credit to the service." And General Grant saying: "He has proved himself one of the ablest and most energetic volunteer officers, no one having the confidence of his superiors in a higher degree." Captain Hickenlooper was appointed a brevet brigadier general of volunteers, May 20, 1865, and assigned to the command of a brigade composed of the Eleventh, Thirteenth, Fifteenth, and Sixteenth Iowa veteran volunteers. After the muster out of the troops, he was warmly recommended by Blair, Logan, Howard, Sherman, and Grant, for a commission as major of artillery in the regular army, or for the office of United States marshal for the southern district of Ohio. He was appointed to the latter position, was soon confirmed, and at once entered upon its duties, being at the time still under thirty years of age. In this position he remained four years, when he resumed the duties of city engineer. In 1872 the Cincinnati Gas Light & Coke company solicited his services, and in order to secure them a new office, that of vice-president, was created. After a few years, Mr. Hickenlooper was made president of the company, the office of vice-president having been abolished. The duties of this position General Hickenlooper discharged well—to the satisfaction of the company and the citizens. In 1879, General Hickenlooper was elected lieutenant governor of Ohio, on the Republican ticket with Mr. Foster.  At the time of his nomination for lieutenant governor, one of his neighbors said: " General Hickenlooper is the most industrious man I ever knew. He is never idle. His popularity in Cincinnati is great. His courtesy to everybody is proverbial, and applicants to him for assistance are never turned away empty-handed. He is liberal in his ideas of life, and full of charity, but in his own habits is temperate. He has always taken an active part in our local politics, not for fame, honor, or office, but because he deemed it his duty as a citizen." His nomination to the candidacy of lieutenant governor was without his seeking or knowledge. He hesitated to accept, but once decided, he went in to win, and, during his term of office thus far, has fulfilled the expectations of his friends, and confirmed the high opinion formed as to his executive and administrative abilities.

COLONEL DAVID W. M^cCLUNG.
David Waddle M^cClung, surveyor of customs for the port of Cincinnati, and ex-officio collector, etc., is of west Scotland or Highland stock. In 1730 his great-grandfather came to this country and settled in Washington county, New York. His descendants mostly resided in that State; but his son, Charles M^cClung, grandfather of the subject of this memoir, removed to MifHin county, Pennsylvania, where David's father and mother were both born, but were both brought to Ohio by their parents in early childhood, the families settling in Fairfield county. The father's name was also David; he was married in 1824 to Miss Elizabeth Brown, daughter of David and Elizabeth (McTeer) Brown. Their fifth child and fourth son was David Waddle, born December 18, 1831, in Eaton township, Seneca county, Ohio, to which his parents had removed two years after marriage. His brothers and sisters were, in due order of birth, Phoebe, William Clark, Robert, James (deceased in February, 1874), Margaret (died November, 1878), Sarah and Harvey (both of whom died in childhood), John Calvin, and Martha (deceased in August, 1876). But five of this large family, including David, are now living. The father died in October, 1867, and the mother in August, 1877.
David was brought up on a farm, which had been the manual-labor school of his ancestry for generations; attended the country schools in his childhood, which were very good for the time, the residence of the family being on the border of the famous Western Reserve; and was . a member of the Seneca County academy, at Republic, then taught by the Hon. Thomas W. Harvey, since State commissioner of Schools. Here he prepared for college, and entered freshman at Muskingum college, New Concord, in October, 1850; remained one term, and then transferred his allegiance to Miami university, at Oxford, from which he was graduated A. B. in 1854. During much of his preparatory course he maintained himself by teaching school, beginning at the early age of fifteen, and for a large share of the expenses of his college course he served the university in various capacities, but had to create a debt, which was faithfully repaid upon his entrance into business life. After graduation he again undertook the pedagogic vocation, but in a higher field, becoming at first principal of the high schools, then superintendent of public schools in Hamilton, in which two positions he remained three years. At the expiration of his year as superintendent he accepted the charge of the Republican organ at the same place, the Hamilton Intelligencer, which he conducted or assisted in editing for about two years, in association with his old friend and classmate, Colonel Minor Milliken. It was the early day of the Republican party; Butler county was largely Democratic; it was an important transition period, and the Intelligencer bore its full share in fixing the current of public opinion. The fight with opponents was at times close and sharp, and Mr. M^cClung was himself personally attacked by an infuriated Democrat, and bore from the conflict an honorable scar which he wears to this day, a testimonial of the later days that tried men's souls. He was during this time of editorial work engaged at intervals in the study of the law; and in the winter of 1859-60 he was appointed by the governor to the position of probate judge of the county, vice William R. Kinder, who died in office. Upon the election of his successor—a Democrat, of course—he spent a few months desultorily in his law office, but, immediately upon the outbreak of the war, the call for volunteers being issued Monday morning, April 16, 1861, he enlisted in a Hamilton company as a private soldier, and went with it to Camp Jefferson, Columbus, where it was sworn into service April 24th, and assigned as company F, Third Ohio infantry. On the twenty-seventh of the same month the regiment was sent, with five companies of the Eleventh, to establish Camp Dennison, on the Little Miami railroad, seventeen miles from Cincinnati. Mr. McClung was taken from the ranks, where he was still serving as a private, and made quartermaster of the camp, in which place of responsibility and honor he was detained, contrary to all precedents of the service, until the following March, hundreds of thousands of dollars, in money and property, passing through his hands meanwhile, not only of quartermaster's, but of ordnance stores. He then received a commission, to date from February 19, 1862, as captain and assistant quartermaster. He remained at the camp until June 15, 1862, having meanwhile rebuilt it, in order to fit it for winter quarters; and was then ordered to
Camp Chase, to build the barracks for rebel prisoners there. When the call for five hundred thousand more was made by President Lincoln, Camp Dennison acquired more importance than ever, and Captain M^cClung was ordered back to equip the regiments forming therein. From first to last, it is believed that he prepared not far from one hundred regiments for the field. When the second levy of troops had been equipped, he supervised the conversion of the barracks at the camp, during November and December of 1862, into a convalescent hospital. Thence he departed for Madison, Indiana, where hospitals more convenient to' the river were to be built, and, after getting that work well under way, he was ordered to Cincinnati, to take charge of the purchase of supplies, in which capacity he served until the close of the war. His money accounts with the Government, during his entire term of service, aggregated about twenty-five million dollars; his property accounts more than twice as much. Like other officers in similar positions, he was from time to time inspected, investigated, "detectived," and "spied," but never once accused, and he long since had his accounts satisfactorily balanced by the officers of the Treasury Department. His services were not finally dispensed with until November 8, 1865, when he was honorably mustered out, at his own reiterated request. Shortly before this, October 30, he was breveted major of volunteers, for faithful and meritorious services, on the recommendation of General Ekin and other high officers of the quartermaster's department. He returned to Hamilton, and was elected president of the Second National bank in that city, although not then a stockholder. In about a year and a half he resigned that place, and began the manufacture of machinery in Hamilton, remaining in this business for two years, when he exchanged his stock in the machine-shop for an interest in the Woodsdale Paper company, of which he took charge and remained its business manager until February 1, 1879, when he removed to Cincinnati and became assistant postmaster. In January, 1881, he was nominated by President Hayes surveyor of the port of Cincinnati, and again by President Garfield upon his accession, when he was promptly confirmed by the senate and received his commission, of date March 10, 1881.
Such a career as that of Colonel M^cClung needs no embellishment or further illustration. His qualities of mind and character are easily inferrible from this outline sketch of his rapid and sure advancement to his present high position.
Colonel McClung was married on the nineteenth of March, 1861, to Miss Anna Carter Harrison, only daughter of Carter B. Harrison, youngest son of General and President Harrison. Her mother was Mary, of the family of John Sutherland, one of the pioneers of Butler county. She is a worthy helpmate of her distinguished spouse. They have no children, and reside on Walnut Hills, in the First ward of Cincinnati.
