Charles Huber, M. D. Distinguished alike as a physician, surgeon and citizen, Dr. Charles Huber occupies a prominent place among the professional men of Harrison, where, for nearly twenty years he has devoted his high attainments to accomplishing what has brought him wide reputation, recognition and honors of an enviable nature. Dr. Huber was born in Franklin county, Ind., July 14, 1854. He received his early education in the public schools of his township and later in the Brookville College, at Brookville, Ind., and the National Normal School at Lebanon, Ohio. Upon the completion of his studies he engaged in teaching school, and continued in this for nearly five years. He then began the study of medicine with Dr. A. E. West, after which he gave lectures at the Ohio-Miami Medical College, in Cincinnati. In 1881, he began his practice in partnership with Dr. West, and remained with him until 1882, since which time he has practiced alone. Dr. Huber also operated a drug store for a number of years which he made a great success. Politically, Dr. Huber is a Democrat, and has been a member of the town council, in the past, for a number of years. He has also been a member of the board of education, and town clerk, for some time. Fraternally, Dr. Huber is a member of the Harrison Medical Association, and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. He is also a member of the Evangelical Protestant church, and takes a great interest in its affairs, and has been treasurer for nearly thirty years. Dr. Huber married, April 17, 1883, Miss Mary B. Schindler, daughter of Wenzel and Josephine (Procher) Schindler. To this union have been born eleven children, as follows: Wenzel Guido, deceased; Carl, deceased; Zetta Anna, wife of P. J. Campbell, who resides in Eldorado, Ohio; Alma M., at home; Hugo A., at home; Edwin E., who resides in San Salvador, Central America, and is an importer and exporter; Olga F., Gottfried J., at home; Ferdinand V., also in San Salvador with his brother; Marion H., and Helen K., both at home. It is a remarkable fact that all of the family except Ferdinand V., have taught school in Hamilton county and vicinity, although Ferdinand taught school at Camp Taylor during the World war. Four of Dr. Huber's children served in the great World war, as follows: Ferdinand and Gottfried served in France, the former in a machine gun battalion, and the latter in the aviation service; Marion was in the military school of artillery, at Fortress Monroe; and Edward was a secret service man for the American Legation at San Salvador. In closing, it might be said that Dr. Huber's position, as a citizen, and in professional and social relations, is a most enviable one, personal worth and acquired ability gaining for him well-merited honor and esteem.
