"John S. Mengel, M. D., of Trevorton, Northumberland county, was born March 7, 1860, at Auburn, Schuylkill Co., Pa., and there received his preliminary education in the public schools. Later he attended the State Normal at Kutztown, Pa., and he received his medical training at Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, from which institution he graduated in 1887. Locating at Greenbrier, Northumberland county, he practiced there until his removal to Trevorton in 1902, Here he has since continued in general practice, having a large circle of patrons in the town and surrounding territory, and he also has the only drug store in the place. Dr. Mengel has, by his useful citizenship and participation in the affairs of the community, become one of its respected and influential members.
