I.F. Sweney, M.D., Milton, Ind., was born at Winchester, Preble Co., Ohio, 
Feb. 2, 1835, a son of William and Susan (Sayler) Sweney, his father a native 
of Adams County, Pa., and his mother of Preble County, Ohio. He was reared on 
a farm, but received sufficient education to enable him to teach, and while 
thus engaged commenced the study of medicine under the direction of his uncle, 
Dr. C. Sayler. He then attended a course of lectures at the Ohio Medical 
College, Cincinnati. After practicing two or three months he enlisted as a 
private in Company C, Eighty-fourth Indiana Infantry. He participated in the 
battles of Chickamauga, the Atlanta campaign, Nashville, Franklin, and in the 
fall of 1864 was appointed Hospital Steward of the regiment. He was afterward 
commissioned Assistant Surgeon, but owing to the close of the war was never 
mustered in. He was discharged in 1865, and soon after entered the Ohio 
Medical College, from which he graduated in 1866, and has since given his 
exclusive attention to a large and increasing practice. He was married Oct. 
10, 1865, to Minerva Eikenberg, of Preble County, Ohio. They have had three 
children---William E., Harvey S. and Loretta B, the two latter deceased. Dr. 
Sweney is a member of Milton Lodge, No. 111, I. O. O. F., and Wm. A. Boyd 
Post, No. 129, G. A. R., Dublin, Ind.
