Author: H. W. Beckwith (1881)

   J. W. Mock, physician and surgeon, Covington, is one of the leading members
of the medical fraternity of Fountain county. He is a native of Frederick
county, Maryland. He was a resident of Darke county, Ohio, during the time of
his study of medicine. In 1863 he became a graduate of the Ohio Medical College,
of Cincinnati, and a short time thereafter was appointed assistant physician of
the Longview Hospital, of Cincinnati, where he remained about one year. He then
entered the federal army as contract surgeon, which position he held about three
months, and was then commissioned assistant surgeon of the 11th Ohio Vol. Inf.
He remained in the service about fifteen months, during which time he gained
much valuable knowledge in the practice of medicine. Returning from the army, he
settled at Waverly, Morgan county, Indiana, and engaged in his profession, and
was married to Miss Eliza McClure, who is a native of that county. They have but
one child living, Charles, now four years of age. In 1863 the doctor became a
resident of Covington, where he has since resided, and given his time and
attention fully to his practice; and it is due him to say that his standing as
one of the first and best physicians of the county cannot be questioned. The
doctor has never had any political aspirations. He is a member of Fountain
Lodge, No. 60, A. F. and A. M., and of the Fountain County Medical Society.
