**********************************************************************

Dr. M. W. Hoge, one of the younger members of the medical fraternity in
Gasconade County, and a resident of Owensville; was born near Boonville
Cooper Co., Mo., November 18, 1861 and is the son of John J. and Mary 
C. (Colhoun) Hoge, still residents of Boonville, where they have made
their home since 1876.  The father is a native of Columbus, Ohio, and
for a time engaged in the practice of law in Wheeling, W. Va., but 
after moving to Missouri his attention was directed mainly to agricul-
tural pursuits.  In 1885 he received the appointment of receiver of
public money in the land office at Boonville, from President Cleveland.
To himself and wife four children were born, three of whom are living.
Dr. Hoge, the third child, as he grew up, secured the favorable advan-
tages of acquiring an education at the well known Kemper School, at
Boonville, from which he graduated.  Following this he took one course
of lectures at Columbia, and for a year thereafter was occupied in 
teaching, until, in 1881, he attended the St. Louis Medical College,
graduating in the class of 1883.  Fitted to enter upon a professional
career, Dr. Hoge soon came to Gasoncade County, locating at Bay, but
after practicing one and a half years there removed to Owensville, 
where he has since devoted himself assiduously to his adopted profess-
ion.  Energetic and enterprising, his success for the future is assured.
Politically, he is a Democrat.
