   WILLIAM N. YOST, M. D., Mount Blanchard, was born April 14, 1836, in
Thornville, Perry Co., Ohio, son of Peter and Elizabeth Yost, natives of
Virginia, and who were among the early settlers of Perry County, Ohio. The
father died in 1868; the mother is now residing in Jackson Township, this
county. When our subject was a lad of ten years of age his parents moved across
the county line into Licking County, Ohio, where he was reared and educated. In
1860 he began the study of medicine with Dr. J. R. Black, in Hebron, Licking
Co., Ohio. In 1862 Dr. Black entered the Federal Army as surgeon, and William N.
Yost went as hospital steward, under Dr. Black's instruction. Our subject served
in the Army of the Cumberland, under Gen. Sherman, throughout Tennessee,
Alabama, Georgia and on the famous "march to the sea." He received an honorable
discharge July 15, 1865, and the following September he entered the Miami
Medical College, from which he graduated March 3, 1867. After remaining as house
physician at the Commercial Hospital one year, Dr. Yost established himself in
Jacksontown, Licking Co., Ohio., and in 1872 located at Houcktown, this county,
and in 1877 removed to Mount Blanchard, this county, and here, by strict
attention to his profession, the Doctor has succeeded in building up a large
practice. Dr. Yost was married, May 12, 1868, to Miss Rebecca A. Stewart,
daughter of Capt. James Stewart, of Licking County, Ohio, and their children are
Minnie Laura, Maggie May, Gertrude, Charles C. and Clarence. Dr. Yost is
recognized as one of the leading and influential citizens of this county. In
politics he is a Democrat. He has been an active and useful member of the school
board of Mount Blanchard ever since his location here. He is a member of the
Northwestern Ohio Medical Association, and of the Ohio State Medical Society. He
is a Royal Arch Mason, and helped to organize the lodge of Master Masons at
Mount Blanchard, and was its Master for the first three years. The Doctor has
also filled all the chairs in Odd Fellowship, and is a leading member of the G.
A. R. at Mount Blanchard.
