        ALBERT FRANKLIN SARVER, M.D.  The medical profession is ably
represented at Greenville, Ohio, and here, as elsewhere in educated,
cultivated communities, its members are held in the high esteem that their
scientific requirements and their professional achievements so richly
deserve. One of the younger members of the medical fraternity at Greenville
is Dr. Albert Franklin Sarver, physician and surgeon, and an overseas
veteran of the World war. Doctor Sarver is president of the Darke County
Medical Association.
        Albert Franklin Sarver was born in Darke County, Ohio, September 3,
1888, and is a son of Adam and Della Sarver, residents of Greenville, where
his father is engaged in the tobacco business. For a number of years before
coming to Greenville Adam Sarver was a successful farmer and stockraiser in
Darke County, where the family first settled in pioneer days.
        In the country schools and the public schools of Areanum, Ohio,
Doctor Sarver spent his boyhood and early youth, then turned his attention
to medical study and entered the medical department of Ohio State
University, from which he was graduated in 1913. Following graduation he
served during 1913-14 as interne in Mount Carmel Hospital, Columbus, Ohio,
and then located at Greenville and established himself here in the practice
of his profession. The coming of the great World war brought to him, as to
thousands of others, radical changes in his life. On December 9, 1917, he
entered the service of the United States, and spent the following three
months in the Medical Officers Training Camp at Fort Riley, Kansas. He was
then attached to the Three Hundred Fifty-fifth United States Infantry,
Eighty-ninth Division, Camp Funston, Kansas, and with this unit started
overseas June 2, 1918, and was safely landed at Liverpool, England. After
fifteen days at Camp Woodley, near Winchester, the division sailed from
Southampton for France, landed at Havre, and went to the Vosges battle
front on the 8th of August, there being but three months interval between
the peaceful environments of his native land and the fury of battle and
destruction on foreign soil, the full story of which has never yet been
adequately told. He served on that battle front until October 26, being
under fire for 100 days, then fell sick and was sent to Base Hospital 49,
Alery, France, and later to the Convalescent Hospital at Hyers. He returned
to the United States by way of Paris and Bordeaux February 2, 1919, and was
honorably discharged at Camp Dix February 10, 1919.
        As soon as possible Doctor Sarver resumed practice at Greenville,
and occupies a position of high merit here. He is identified with numerous
professional organizations and, as noted above, is president of the Darke
County Medical Association, of which he had been secretary for six years.
        Doctor Sarver married at Greenville, December 28, 1920, Miss Naomi
Arens, and they have a daughter, La Jenne, who was born August 19, 1922.
Doctor and Mrs. Sarver are members of the Presbyterian Church. He belongs
to the American Legion and was active in assisting in the organization of
the American Legion Band, now the official band of this body in the State
of Ohio. He is a member of the Masonic Lodge at Greenville, belongs also to
the Red Men and the Elks, and still preserves his membership in the Phi
Kappa Greek letter fraternity of university days.
