D. W. REDDIN, M. D. who for the past ten years has been actively engaged in the practice of his profession at North Baltimore, is, though yet a young man, one of the best and most favorably known physicians of Wood county, and he has probably no equal of his age in northern Ohio.
A native of Ohio, he was born January 24, 1860, near Findlay, Hancock county. His father, Thomas Reddin, was born, in 1808, in Dartmouth, England, was a man of fine intellectual qualities, and also possessed artistic ability; he was employed to do the decorative painting on Girard College. However, he was a captain by occupation, and followed the high seas many years, visiting all the principal ports of the globe. His life was an adventurous one. Under Gen.
Sam. Houston he served with Texas in her struggle for independence, being in Col. Fanning's command, which surrendered to Santa Anna after the memorable battle of Goliad. The men were all marched out in line to be shot by the Mexican, but Mr. Reddin and several other's broke from the line and ran, and amid a shower of bullets made good their escape. The others were shot down by Santa Anna's orders. Mr. Reddin also served throughout the Mexican war. During the war of the Rebellion he was in the Navy taking up arms in the Union cause. In 1846 he was married, at Harrisburg, Penn., to Catherine Braucht, who was born April 16, 1828, in Halifax, Dauphin Co., Penn., and is still living residing about six miles west of Findlay, Ohio. They subsequently went to New Orleans, where he enlisted in the Mexican war, and she then returned north, living at Gilboa, Ohio, during his absence. Immediately after his return he located on a farm in Hancock county, this State, where he died September to, 1877. Mr. and Mrs. Reddin were the parents of seven children, namely: Thomas, who lives near McComb, Hancock county ; Catherine (Mrs. W. A. Dorsey), deceased; Mary, who married Charles Guear, of Hancock county ; Sophia, who married Rev Tilman Jenkins, of Mosca, Colo.; D. W., our subject ; Dr. Francis O., living at Hamler, Henry Co., Ohio; and John, who is a traveling salesman for a Chicago house. Mrs. Reddin's father, David Braucht, was a native of Pennsylvania, and married a Miss McCalister, of Scotch ancestry, who was a native of the same State. He served in the war of 1812, and his father in the Revolutionary war.
Our subject remained on his father's farm in Hancock county, attending the district school. until he was thirteen years old. Since that time he has been self-supporting, and the record of hi. life is one of steady perseverance and indomitable energy. For two years he attended the high school at Findlay, and at the age of fifteen he went to Iowa, where he worked during the summer months, and for two years attended Simpson College. For a time he was a student at th, Valparaiso (Ind.) Normal School, thence going to the National Normal University at Lebanon, Ohio, where he remained one term. He now commenced reading medicine, pursuing his studies for a year and a half in the office of Dr. T. C. Ballard, of Findlay, and then entering th, Medical Department of the University of Michigan, at Ann Arbor, from which he was graduated at the age of twenty-one years, in 1881. In order to further prepare himself for practice he spent the following year in the hospitals of New York ,and Philadelphia. By continued application to study his health had been somewhat impaired, and he now devoted a year to travel in the Western States, visiting many cities and ponits of interest, and returning to Findlay fully recuperated. After engaging in practice here for two years, the Doctor, in 1886, came to North Baltimore, in which city he has ever since made his home. He has built up a most extensive practice as a skillful physician and surgeon, and as a self-made and self-educated man he well deserves the success which has come to him, for in his calling, success is attained only by years of arduous study and thorough preparation. The early obstacles in his path were overcome by steady application to his chosen line of work, and he has won the esteem of all who know him by his unfaltering devotion to duty, and many adrable personal characteristics. Socially he affiliates with two fraternal organizations, the Masonic Order and the Knights of Pythias.
The Doctor was united in marriage, December 28, 1886, with Miss Ella Lochhead, of Keokuk, Iowa, who died January 7, 1888, her death being occasioned by the shock received at the time of the fire in North Baltimore. She was laid to rest in the Findlay cemetery, widely mourned by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. In this fire the Doctor's household goods, his valuable library and surgical instruments were completely destroyed. On June 14, 1893, he married Miss Eugenia Bachman, of Tiffin, Ohio, who was born March 21, 1870. Her parents, George W. and Eugenia (Beilharz) Bachman, were both born in Ohio, the father October 18, 1842, in Summit county, the mother May 18, 1845, in Tiffin. They were married in 1866, and spent their wedded life in Tiffin, where Mr. Bachman died in 1879. He was one of the most prominent men of the city in his day. In 1866 he graduated from Heidelberg College, Tiffin, was admitted to the bar in 1867, and engaged in the practice of law until his death. He was prosecuting attorney of Seneca county for two terms, held the office of mayor of Tiffin for the same length of time, and was president of the city board of education a number of years. Mrs. Bachman now makes her home with her daughter, Mrs. Reddin. Her other daughter, Mary L., is also a resident of North Baltimore. Her only son, George W., is a traveling salesman. Mrs. Reddin inherited the literary tastes of her parents. In 1888 she completed a course of study in the Tiffin High School, afterward attending Heidelberg College for a time. She then accepted the position of principal of the High School at Oak Harbor, Ottawa county, which she ably filled for one year and a half, next entering the Fostoria High School as assistant principal, a much better position than the former, from a financial standpoint. She held this incumbency three years, or until her marriage to the Doctor. One son, born September 19, 1896, has blessed this union. They reside in a very fine home on Broadway, North Baltimore. Mrs. Reddin's maternal grandfather, Dr. C. C. Beilharz, was an early physician and dentist of Tiffin. His father, John J. Beilharz, was the first pastor of the German Lutheran Church of that city.
