  STEPHEN D. MESERVE, physician and surgeon, Robinson. The subject of this
sketch is a native of New Hampshire, and his boyhood was spent among its bleak
hills. He was born August 9, 1818, and his early educational facilities were
such as are enjoyed by the favored youth of New England. When grown, he entered
Fryeburg Academy, where he spent about four years in study. After leaving
school, he began reading medicine under Dr. Barrrows, of Fryeburg, continuing
for one year. He then came West to Cincinnati, Ohio, where he continued his
studies. After practicing some five years, he took a regular course of lectures,
graduating from Miami Medical College in 1855. Afterwards he took the addendum
degree in the Ohio Medical College, Cincinnati. In 1848, previous to his
graduation, he came to Clark County, Ill., and located in York, and in 1850
removed to Hutsonville, in this county. Here he remained until March, 1856, when
he removed to Robinson, and has resided here ever since, in the practice of his
profession. October 23, 1850, Dr. Meserve was married to Miss Martha Barlow,
daughter of E. Barlow, Esq. He has four children living-Ashbel, G., Mattie H.
