Albert Southworth, physician and surgeon, was born in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, 
Oct. 2, 1838, being the youngest of six children. His parents, Apollas and 
Deborah Southworth, were born, the former in Stoughton, Mass., in 1792, the 
latter in Canton, Mass., 1796, being descendants of the old Puritanic stock 
which has made the Western Reserve nationally famous for its Republican 
principles. They left their native home and suffered all the privations 
incident to a rigorous winter and spring in traveling hundreds of miles with 
an ox team, at times through an almost unbroken forest, to the now populous 
city of Cleveland, on the shore of Lake Erie, and on the lovely banks of the 
beautiful Cuyahoga, in Cuyahoga Co., Ohio. Both are now deceased, the former 
at the advanced age of eighty-six; and the latter at the age of seventy-five 
years. Our subject received the rudiments of his education at the district 
school; from there he went to Baldwin University, Berea, Ohio. His health 
failing him, he resorted to the invigorating air of the broad prairies of the 
West, where he engaged in farming for several years. Returning, he again 
entered school and qualified himself for teaching, which he pursued for 
several years, then turned his attention to the study of medicine. He has been 
a life reader of hydropathy and hygiene, and a student one session in the 
Hydropathic Medical College in New York City. Being imbued with the principles 
of progressive medicine, he allied himself to a noted practitioner of 
homeopathy, Dr. Disbro, of Berea, Ohio, where he prosecuted his studies in the 
intervals of the college sessions and graduated with honor at the Cleveland 
Homeopathic Medical College in the spring of 1869. Having dissolved his 
connection with his preceptor he settled in Franklin, Ind., and the year 
following came to Dublin, Ind., where he is still engaged in the practice of 
his profession. He was married in 1872 to Alice Scott, daughter of James and 
Sarah Scott, of Walnut Level, Ind., deceased. They have two children---
Clarence and Lena May. The Doctor has been President of the Board of City 
Councilmen for years, also President of the Wayne County Homeopathic Medical 
Association. He is a member of the I. O. O. F. fraternity, Olive Branch Lodge, 
No. 189. He and his wife are members of the Christian church, Dublin. Their 
thrift and enterprise make them conspicuous in the field of economy and 
industry.
