M. V. B. NEWCOMER was born in Wayne County, Ind., October 30, 1836. When he was quite young, his parents removed to Hamilton County, where he attended the common schools, and grew to manhood. He taught in the public schools of Hamilton and Tipton Counties for eight years. In 1857, he came to Tipton, and while teaching in the schools he began the study of medicine under Dr. A. M. Vickrey. He graduated at the Ohio Medical College at Cincinnati in 1867, having practiced for two years previously. Dr. Newcomer has confined himself strictly to legitimate practice, and has gained an enviable reputation in his profession; he is half-owner of the opera building on the northwest corner of the public square, and has a fine residence and office. He was married at Tipton the 14th of December, 1865, to Miss I. J. Wilson. They have had three children-Ora B. and Clelia C, now living, and Ethel May, deceased.
