paying less attention to surgery, turning his patients in this line of prac-
tice over to the city hospitals.
    On the 13th day of November, 1887, he married Miss Anna Belle
Boardman, a lady of literary taste and attainments, who is the author
of an Anglo-American romance entitled “The Story of a Glove.”

    Otto T. Cailor, native of Indiana, son of Tohias and Alma (Moody)
Cailor, was born in Harrison township, Clay county, June 19, 1865. The
father was a wagon-maker, and worked at his trade at Stockton, Owen
county. At thirteen years of age, not disposed to take up the occupation
of his father, the subject of this sketch went to live with his uncle,
James Moody, at Middlebury, where he made his home for ten years.
Here he worked on the farm in the summer and attended school in the
winter until the fall of 1882, when, having become anxious to accumulate
a little cash and to he with his associates, he went to work in the coal
mines at Clay City, and was out of school two winters. This venture
failing to prove satisfactory, he was induced by William Arnett to
re-enter school for the winter of 1884. In the spring of 1886 he entered
the State Normal and in the fall of the same year began teaching in the
common schools, which he continued to do during the winter, attending
the State Normal during the spring terms until he had completed about
two years’ work in that institution. In the fall of 1892 he entered the
State University as a law student, where he spent one year, his financial
condition then necessitating his return to teaching, meanwhile keeping
in close touch with his class at the university by one of his classmates
sending him a postal-card each succeeding day showing the work that
was being done, which enabled him to pursue the same text-book work,
so that, on returning to the university at the close of his school in the
spring, he was able to take the examination on the work done in his
absence, re-enter and graduate with his class in June, 1894. In the fall of
this year he formed a partnership with William S. Tipton, in the practice
of the law, who was a fellow-student at both the normal and the uni-
versity. An office was opened at Brazil, to which Tipton gave his time
and attention, Cailor teaching in the winter. This association was con-
tinued until Tipton was compelled to withdraw and take his wife to
Arizona on account of failing health.
    On the 15th day of December, 1898, Mr. Cailor married Essie R.
Click, daughter of Alvy M. and Alice Click, of Cory, Clay county.
After having lived four years with his mother, at Coal City, Owen
county, on account of the declining health of his wife, they went to
California in the winter of 1902, locating at Anaheim. Here he again
joined his friend and former partner in the practice, he having, also, in
the meantime, moved to that place from Arizona, where, by persistent
work and strict attention to business, they have succeeded in building up
a good practice. Since going to California three children have been born
to them—Ray and Fay (twins), born November 15, 1904, and Clarence
M., born July 30, 1908.

    William S. Tipton, native of Clay county, born in Harrison town-
ship, August 16, 1863, son of Sylvester and Mary (Van Horn) Tipton,
who were natives of Coshocton county, Ohio, coming to Indiana in 1847.
