HISTORY OF FULTON COUNTY, ILLINOIS
PP. 944, 945
Dr. J.H. Breeden.  Dr. Breeden ranks among the wealthier class of citizens
of the county; he is a native of Sullivan Co., Ind., where he wa born in 1834;
his father, Lewis Breeden, has followed farming from boyhood and is now a
resident of this State.  He married Miss Anna Hendy, a daughter of Dr.
Samuel Hendy, of New York State.  There were born of this marriage 7 children
of whom the subject of this sketch was the oldest.  He was but 7 years of
age when the family settled in Pike Co., Ill.  At the age of 22 years he
began the study of medicine under Dr. D.W. Parkins, of Havana, Ill.; in 1856
he entered Rush Medical College, Chicago.  On leaving the Garden City the
Doctor looked about him for a suitable town to practice his profession, and
accordingly located in Summum, where he has since resided.  His skill as a
physician is too well known to the people of this county to be called into
question; as farmer, merchant and physician he has succeeded well.  March 6,
1856, he was united in marriage to Mrs. Sarah A. Stover, a daughter of Col.
Stover, of Ohio; they have 3 children: Harvey O., Lewis C., and Dolly.
