   DR. J. A. SCHELL, druggist, is a native of Madison County, Ind., and was born
October 15, 1839; son of John and Elizabeth (Sigler) Schell, natives of
Virginia, and of German descent. His father removed to Ohio with his family in
an early day, and, in 1823, located in Madison County, Ind., with a little
colony of twenty-one families. Mr. Schell remained there until his death, March
4, 1878, at the age of sixty-four. Our subject had limited advantages for an
education during his boyhood, and in later life was his own preceptor. He began
the study of medicine in the spring of 1865, and continued reading medicine and
teaching school for eight years. He read under Dr. William Suman, of Frankton,
and in the winter of 1867-68 attended a course of lectures at the Ohio Medical
College. The following spring he commenced his practice at Frankton, and August
11, 1869, he removed to Windfall, bringing with him a small stock of drugs. He
has since resided here, and is doing a good business. Mr. Schell was married,
September 28, 1871, to Miss Caroline McIntire, of Windfall. She is a native of
Iowa, and was born August 16, 1854. This marriage has been crowned with one
son-Elmer P., born August 18, 1872. Mr. Schell is an active home politician in
the Democratic ranks. He served as Justice of the Peace three months, and was
commissioned Notary Public two terms while in Frankton. He is a Royal Arch
Mason, and he and his wife are members of the M. E. Church.
