DR. CALVIN BLYTHE, one of Clarke countyÂ’s leading physicians, resides in the village of Woodburn. He has been a resident of Clarke County nineteen years. He was born at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, August 25, 1832. His father, Calvin BLYTHE, Sr., was born in Adams County, Pennsylvania, and his mother, Patience Augusta Elliott, in Huntindon, Pennsylvania, the latter died when Calvin was six months old. She was a member of that family of Elliotts of whom Commodore Jesse E. Elliott, U.S.N., was a distinguished member. His father was a lawyer by profession, and a leading man of the State; served in the Legislature two terms; as judge and collector of port at Philadelphia under President TylerÂ’s administration. His death occurred in 1848. The following from the Philadelphia Ledger shows the esteem in which he was held by the public:
“DEATH OF HON. CALVIN BLYTHE.”
“We record the decease of this gentleman with deep regret, for he was one of the most amiable, courteous and unassuming gentlemen of our acquaintance. He served with distinction on the Canada frontier during the war of 1812, has been a member of our State Legislature, secretary of the Commonwealth, attorney-general, president, judge, collector of the port of Philadelphia, and held besides various honorary positions of trust. He died at the residence of his brother Ezra, in Adams County, whither he had repaired in consequence of his failing health.”
Dr. Calvin BLYTHE remained in Harrisburg until he was ten years of age, then went to Philadelphia where he grew to manhood. He studied medicine at Newark, Ohio, and graduated in the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. He commenced his practice in Wapello County, Iowa. Since that time he has devoted all his time and energies to his profession, and has been remarkably successful.
The doctor is a member of the order of A.F.& A.M., and affiliates with Unity Lodge, No. 212, at Woodburn. He is a dealer in drugs and medicines, keeping the only drug store at Woodburn. John E. Blythe, the only brother of Dr. Blythe, served in the marine service of the United States Government, on the steamer Somerset. He died in the service in 1864.
