Father: Edward Landon (1762-1834)
Mother: Tryphena (Hewitt) Landon (1775-1851)
Dr. Landon, the subject of the following brief sketch, was one of the most widely known physicians in the early medical faculty of central Ohio. His ancestry is Revolutionary on both sides of the family, his mother being Tryphena Hewitt, of the branch of the English Hewitts, Hewits, or Hueitts, resident at Worcester, Massachusetts; his father, Edward Landon, whose
English lineage traces from the Langdons and Langtons of Magna Charta history.
The Doctor was born in Athens, Ohio, and received his collegiate education at the Ohio University in that place. For some time he was connected with the Athens Messenger, published by the late Senator Van Voorhis, being associated in this newspaper work with the late Governor John Brough. Later he entered the study of medicine, and was graduated at Starling Medical College, Columbus, Ohio, with the class of 1849.
One of Dr. Landon's brothers, the Rev. Oliver Perry Hazard Landon, was a minister in the Methodist church; the other, Dr. George H. Landon, was a doctor both of divinity and of law. In partnership with the latter, Dr. Chauncey P. Landon began the practice of his profession in Wester-vi lle, Ohio, and for nearly half a century was prominent among the physicians of the state. He was one of the founders and charter memers of the Central Ohio Medical Society, and one of the early members of the Ohio
State Medical Society, enjoying the distinction of being twice called to the presidency, — an honor accorded to no other physician in the history of this organization. An added compliment was expressed in his selection to preside
at the joint meeting of the American Medical Association and the Ohio State Medical Society at Cleveland, Ohio, in 1883. He was repeatedly selected delegate to the American Medical Association, and was an honorarv member of the Columbus Academy of Medicine for some years previous to his death. Dr. Landon contributed several valuable theses to medical literature and was one of the earliest and most zealous promoters of the state board of health and the state board of medical registration in Ohio.
In politics Dr. Landon was first a Whig, later an "old-line" Republican. An ardent patriot, a magnetic and eloquent public speaker, he was recognized as a valued and devoted supporter of his party and its principles. Both as
recruiting ofiicer and in active service he rendered able assistance to the Union cause in the war of the Rebellion. Associated with Dr. Emerson E. Wiiite, of Columbus, he stood as the Republican candidate for representative to the state legislature at a time when a Democratic nomination was tantamount to an election. For nearly a score of years Dr. Landon was a member of the state board of agriculture and of the Frankhn county board of agriculture. He was surgeon of the One Hundred and Thirty-third Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and the Grand Army of the Republic is the only organization other than those of the medical profession in which he held membership.
Although a generous contributor to church interests and philanthropic enterprises, he never became a member of chuch.
Dr. Landon was a man of marked individuality, of liberal and independent thought, fearless in the face of opposition, tireless in devotion to the public good.
His death occurred at the family residence in Westerville, Ohio, December 29, 1899. He left a widow, formerly Miss Clara Slaughter, and four children : Hal D. Landon, Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune; the late Karl E. Landon, state correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer; Miss Rowena H. Landon, teacher of languages m Central high school ; and Mrs. Converse, widow of the late ex-Congressman George L. Converse.
