Biographical Sketch of Dr. E. R. Ming, Lafayette County, Missouri

>From "History of Lafayette County, Mo., carefully written and compiled
from the most authentic official and private sources" St. Louis, Mo.
Historical Company, 1881.
**********************************************************************

Dr. E. R. Ming, physician and surgeon, P. O. Dover.  The Dr. is a native
of Missouri, born in Callaway county, March 13, 1849.  His father was a
native of Virginia; born March 13, 1813.  Came to Missouri at an early
day, locating in Callaway county.  He was married to Miss Elmira 
Harrison, a resident of Boone county, Missouri, and a native of the 
same.  Their nuptials were celebrated in 1846.  Seven children were
born to them, as follows:  John W., Edwin R., Bettie T., Laura E.,
Annie M., V. Lee and J. Samuel.  In 1853, when E. R. was four years of
age, the family moved to this county and located at Dover, where his
father, being a physician, opened an office and pursued a successful
practice.  He afterwards opened a drug store, which, with the aid of
E. R., he operated in connection with his other duties.  The old 
gentleman died October 6, 1880.  Mrs. Ming is still living in Dover.
The subject of this sketch was raised and educated primarily in this
county.  In 1874 he entered the Missouri Medical College at St. Louis,
from which he graduated in the spring of 1876, acquitting himself with
high honors.  Since then he has been engaged in the drug business and
the practice of medicine in Dover and vicinity.  The Dr. is a finished
scholar and a genial gentleman, eminently worthy of the liberal patron-
age accorded him by an admiring community.  While applying himself
closely to private affairs, he is not unmindful of public interests,
and by his clear and logical analysis of cause and effect, and keen
insight into the true inwardness of any enterprise, great or small, has
contributed largely to the welfare of the county generally.
