B.F. OVERMYER, M.D., one of the prominent physicians and citizens of Fulton
County, has resided in this county since the spring of 1882. April 1 of that
year he opened an office at Leiter's Ford, where he has since conducted an
active and remunertive practice in his profession. Dr. Overmyer was born in
Lindsey, Sandusky County, Ohio, March 27, 1856. His parents were William and
Elizabeth (Eversole) Overmyer. His father, a native of Union County, Pa., was
a son of John George Overmyer, who was of German origin. Dr. Overmyer's mother
was a native of Virginia. The doctor was reared to farming, but after gaining
a common school education, began teaching at the age of nineteen years. For
two years he taught school in Michigan and then for three years in Ohio.
Meanwhile he took up the study of medicine. March 23, 1882, he graduated from
the Starling medical college, of Columbus, Ohio, and immediately located at
Letier's Ford. In a short time after locating there he became a partner of his
father-in-law, in general merchandising. Five years later his father-in-law
died, and for eight years thereafter the doctor conducted the business alone,
up to the fall of 1895, when his nephew became a partner in the business. The
doctor was married Dec. 28, 1881, to Miss Nellie Storm, daughter of Milton
Storm, Esq. He is a firm and active worker in the ranks of the republican
party, and belongs to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, belonging to the
Camp Militant of the order.
