	C.A. MUSGRAVE, a Doctor of Dental Surgery, 
who has practiced at Sherwood, 
Defiance county, for a number of years, has been a capable member of his 
profession and also deserves honor for the service he has rendered the 
country as member of the National Guard and as an overseas veteran in the 
World war.
	He was born in Seneca County, Ohio, 
February 16, 1877, son of John L. and 
Elizabeth (Good) Musgrave. His father was born in Seneca County, February 
15, 1845, and though very young served as a boy soldier in the Civil war. 
He is now a resident of Paulding, Ohio. The mother of Doctor Musgrave was 
born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, August 12, 1848, and died in 
Paulding County. Of the four children born to these parents three are now 
living: Gertrude, wife of Clyde A. Parent, of Charlotte, Michigan; Doctor 
C.A.; and John W., who was a soldier in the World war, with a record of 
service overseas. He was a lieutenant in the Motor Truck Corps, and is now 
living at Detroit. The deceased child was Clarence A., who had graduated in 
dentistry and medicine, and died at Toledo, Ohio.
	Dr. C.A. Musgrave was five years of age when the family located in 
Paulding County. He attended the public schools, the Ohio Northern 
University at Ada, and for four years taught in rural districts. He then 
enlisted and served out a three-year term in the Regular Army, most of the 
time being in Cuba and the Philippine Islands. He became a corporal in the 
army. After leaving the army service he took the course in dental surgery 
at Cincinnati, where he was graduated a Doctor of Dental Surgery May 11, 
1905. Doctor Musgrave practiced in his old home community of Paulding for 
nine years, and on October 1, 1914, located at Sherwood, where except for 
the time he spent in the army he has looked after an extensive private 
practice.
	While at Paulding he became first sergeant 
and captain of a local company 
of the Ohio National guard. As a member of the National Guard he went to 
the Mexican border in 1916, returning to Sherwood on March 1, 1917. Soon 
afterward he passed the examination for membership in the Dental Corps, and 
was commissioned first lieutenant in the Dental Reserve Corps. On May 26, 
1918, he was ordered to Camp Meade and assigned to the Three Hundred and 
Fourteenth Infantry of the Seventy-ninth Division. With this division he 
went overseas, landing in France July 15, 1918, and saw active duty near 
the front lines. In one engagement he was badly gassed, and for meritorious 
service was promoted to captain and received citation from general Pershing 
for bravery displayed at the front. On October 1, 1923, Doctor Musgrave 
entered the Northwestern University Dental School at Chicago as a 
government student and pursued the graduate course in Oral Surgery until 
May 7, 1824. From there he was sent to the Edward Hines, Jr., Hospital, a 
government hospital for the treatment of disabled soldiers, on account of 
injuries received at the front which prevented the successful continuance 
of his professional practice. He left the hospital and again located at 
Sherwood, Ohio, August 14, 1924.
	Doctor Musgrave married Miss Myrtle V. Wiegel, 
of Paulding,Ohio, who died 
September 25, 1910. Of the two children born to their marriage the one now 
living is Charles W., who was born in 1909, and is a junior in the Paulding 
High School. Doctor Musgrave subsequently married Miss Nora M. Wachter, a 
daughter of Rev. A.C. Wachter. To this union have been born four children, 
Maurice W., Richard  L., Mildred J. and Thomas C. Mrs. Musgrave is a member 
of the Lutheran Church. Fraternally he is affiliated with the Masonic Lodge 
at Paulding, and also with the Chapter, and the Benevolent and Protective 
Order of Elks at Defiance. He is a republican, and served as a member of 
the council at Paulding, and is a former mayor of Sherwood. He is a member 
of the Disabled Veterans of the World War.
