Suggested edit:
Barnesville - DR. HOOVER - In 1833 the scarlet fever scourged Barnesville and vicinity as an epidemic. In the midst of its ravages Dr. Isaac Hoover, a young and promising physician came to Barnesville from St. Clairsville, Ohio. He at once obtained a good practice, which in a short time, by the death and the retiring of the Drs. Judkins, became very extensive. He continued a successful career here until 1868, when he removed to Bellaire, O. There he met with nothing but disappointment, under the pressure of which his mind gave way, and for several years his life was a blank. His son Thomas, a young physician of the finest promise, having secured a good practice at Columbus, O., took charge of his father and family. Dr. Isaac Hoover died at Columbus in 1878, and was buried in South Cemetery, Barnesville.
