CHARLES W. HARTLOFF, M. D

Charles W. Hartloff, M. D. The name Hartloff has been prominent in the medical annals of Evansville for many years, having been borne by two men of distinction in the profession, the late Dr. Richard Hartloff and his son and successor Dr. Charles W. Hartloff.
The former was born in Wermelskirchen, Rheinnfalz. Germany, in 1845. son of Frederick Hartloff. who was a weaver by trade. In 1854 the latter came to America, accompanied by his wife and son, and they were twenty-three days in crossing the ocean on a sailing vessel. From the port of Philadelphia they journeyed westward to Ironton, Ohio, and two years later settled at German Ridge in Perry County, Indiana. Securing a tract of timber land, Frederick Hartloff soon had the rude comforts of a log house for his family, and with the industry characteristic of the German settler continued his work until he had a fine farm with all the improvements. Late in life he retired to Buffaloville in Spencer County, where he died.
Dr. Richard Hartloff had the rudiments of his education in his native laud, but from the age of nine attended American schools both at Ironton, Ohio, and in Spencer County. He finished his literary course in Wallace College at Berea, Ohio, and from there entered the medical department of the University of Louisville, where he was graduated with the M. D. degree in March, 1870. It is now nearly half a century since he began his work as a well equipped practitioner at Evansville. He was a close student of his profession, attending clinics and schools in New York and also going abroad to study in Vienna. He was in practice thirty years, his useful career being closed by death June 21, 1900.
He married Caroline Johann, a native of Perry County, Indiana, and daughter of Frederick and Barbara Johann, natives of German}’ and early settlers in Southern Indiana. She died in 1875, leaving besides her son Charles a daughter, Emma Caroline, now the wife of John F. Habbe of Indianapolis. Dr. Richard Hartloff married a second wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Oliver, a native of Manchester, England, who died in 1903. Her son by a former marriage is also deceased.
Charles W. Hartloff was born in Council Township, Perry County, Indiana, in 1870, and in 1887 graduated from the Evansville High School. He took the full academic course at the University of Indiana, graduating A. B. in 1892. Later he entered the medical department of the University of Michigan, from which he received his diploma and degree in 1897. After a year of practice in his home city he entered Johns Hopkins University, and then went abroad, spending two years in travel and study, chiefly at the University of Vienna, which then claimed some of the greatest figures in medicine and surgery in the world.
Doctor Hartloff returned to Evansville a few months before his father’s death, and at once took up his large practice, responsibilities for which his talents and exceptional training admirably qualified him. For the past twenty years he has had a very busy career. In addition to his private practice he has served as secretary of the city board of health and of the board of pension examiners, and is now chief medical inspector of the Evansville schools. He is a member of the County and State Medical Societies, also of the Ohio Valley, the American Medical Association, and the American Public Health Association.
In 1896 Miss Annie Marie Kaiser, of Port Huron, Michigan, became his wife. They have one daughter, Maryland Elizabeth, who is a graduate of the Evansville High School, spent one year in Penn Hall at Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, and is now a student in the University of Michigan. Doctor Hartloff and family are members of the St. John Evangelical Church. He is affiliated with Reed Lodge, Free and Ancient Masons, Evansville Chapter, Royal Arch Masons, Simpson Council, Royal and Select Masons, LaVallette Commandery, Knights Templar, Evansville Consistory. Scottish Rite, and Hadi Temple of the Mystic Shrine. He is also an Elk, and is a member of the Evansville Chamber of Commerce and the Country and Crescent Clubs.

Doctor Comstock was born in Perry County, Indiana, February 19, 1873, a son of George and Cynthia (Taylor) Comstock. He belongs to a family which originated in Holland and came to New Amsterdam (now New York) in 1647, at the time of the advent of Peter Stuyvesant, military governor. Later members of the family founded new branches in Virginia, whence they went to Kentucky and later to Indiana. Daniel Comstock, the grandfather of Doctor Comstock, was born in Virginia and was a pioneer farmer of Perry County, Indiana, where he died when his son George was still a small boy. He married Lucinda Landman, who was born in Breckinridge County, Kentucky, and died in Perry County, Indiana.
George Comstock was born in 1832, in Perry County, Indiana, and there spent his entire life as an extensive and successful farmer, passing away in 1915 on his large and productive farm. During the war between the states he served as a soldier of the Union, and throughout his life was known as a public-spirited and loyal citizen. In politics he was a democrat, but did not care for public office. His religious faith was that of the Christian Church, the movements of which always received his whole-hearted support. Mr. Comstock married Miss Cynthia Taylor, who was born in Perry County, Indiana, in 1841, and died there in 1913. They became the parents of the following children : Paulina, who died in Perry County, Indiana, aged twenty-four years, as the wife of G. W. Carmichael, a farmer of that county; George H., a lumber dealer of Southeastern Missouri, who died at the age of thirty years; Daniel B., a farmer and stock raiser and dealer of Perry County, Indiana, who died at the age of forty-two years; LaFayette, a dairyman of Crawford County, Indiana; and Dr. L. E.
L. E. Comstock was primarily educated in the rural schools of his native county, following which he attended the high school at Hamilton, Indiana. In 1890 he commenced teaching in the country schools of Perry County, being thus engaged for seven years, following which he removed to Louisville, Kentucky, where, in 1897, he embarked in a mercantile venture. After four years he disposed of his interests therein and entered the medical department of the University of Louisville from which he was duly graduated in 1007 with the degree of Doctor of Medicine, and in that year commenced practice at Louisville, where he remained only a few months. On August I, 1907, he came to Horse Cave, Kentucky, and here has carried on a general practice in medicine and surgery to the present time. His offices are situated in the Vetuzat Building on Front Street, where he has all the modern appliances and instruments known to his calling. Doctor Comstock has continued to be a careful, close and constant student of his profession and has spent much time in research and investigation. In 1913 he took a post-graduate course at the Chicago Polyclinic and again in 1916 at the same institution, and in 1919 had a course at the Post-Graduate Hospital of Chicago, specializing in diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat, as well as the X-ray. He took a like course at the same institution in 1921. While his practice is general in character, he has specialized to some extent in the treatment of the eye, ear, nose and throat, and in X-ray work. His practice is large and lucrative, and among his patients are to be found members of the leading families of Horse Cave and the surrounding country. Formerly he served as health officer of Horse Cave. He is a member of the Hart County. Medical Society, the Kentucky State Medical Society and the American Medical Association.
Doctor Comstock is the owner of a modern residence on Guthrie Street, one of the desirable and comfortable homes of the city. He was formerly the owner of a farm, but this he sold in 1920. In several ways he is interested in business matters in the community of his adoption, and at present has a one-half interest in the leading pharmacy of the city, located on Front Street and conducted under the style of the Comstock Drug Company. In politics he is a democrat, and at present is serving as president of the Horse Cave Board of Education, a place for which he is eminently fitted by education and experience. His religious affiliation is with the Christian Church, in which he is an elder. Doctor Comstock is fraternally identified with Wallow Lodge No. 231, F. and A. M., of Horse Cave, of which he is a past master; Bostwick Chapter No. 13, R. A. M., Horse Cave, of which he is a past high priest; Horse Cave Council No. 45, R. and S. M., of which he is a past thrice illustrious master; and Glasgow (Kentucky) Commandery, K. T. During the world war he took an active part in all movements, and assisted in the drives not only through his efforts and abilities but through generous personal contributions.
On June 18, 1806, Doctor Comstock was united in marriage in Perry County, Indiana, with Miss Estella Lynch, daughter of H. F. and Mary E. (Murphy) Lynch, residents of Perry County, Indiana. Mr. Lynch was engaged in agricultural pursuits for many years, but at this time is living in retirement, enjoying the fruits of his early labors.

A physician and surgeon at Evansville, where he has been in practice since 1906, Doctor Goble is a man of high standing in his profession, and the confidence of the public and his fel­low practitioners in his ability is attested to by the fact that he is now serving as president of the Vanderburg County Medi­cal Society.
Doctor Goble was born in Clark Township of Perry County, Indiana. His an­cestors were pioneers in Perry County. His great-grandfather was a native of Massachusetts and served in the Revolu­tionary war; later removing to North Carolina.

There was no railroads and Will Goble followed one of the pioneer trails over the Blue Ridge Mountains and across the states of Tennessee and Kentucky to Indiana. He located in what is now Clark Township of Perry County. This was then a wilderness, filled with Indians who claimed it as their hunting ground. He acquired a tract of land and began the tremendous task of making a farm. He was in every way fitted for pio­neer life, being of strong athletic build, a tireless worker, yet very fond of sports and hunting. The Indians frequently pit­ted their fleetest runners against him in foot races. He and his wife spent their last years in Perry County.
Daniel Goble, father of Doctor Goble, was also born in Clark Township and grew up amid pioneer scenes. He attended rural schools when it was the custom for the teacher to board around in the families of the pupils. Reared on a farm he inherited land, and his good judgment and ability enabled to build up one of the best farms in Perry County. He died at the age of eighty-one and was buried in the Lan-man cemetery, on the farm where he had lived since his marriage.
Daniel Goble was married to Louisa Lanman, a native of Clark Township, daughter of George Lanman and grand-daughter of John Lanman. John Lanman was one of the first settlers of that township and owned one of the first horse mills operated for the public in Perry County. Mrs. Louisa Goble died at the age of sixty years, the mother of the following children: George, John, Keith, Daniel S., Susan, Martha and Sarah.
Doctor Goble spent his youth in the environment of his father’s farm. He at­tended district schools, and finished his lit­erary education in the Central Normal College at Danville, Indiana. He began his life of usefulness as a teacher at the age of seventeen, and taught five terms in Perry County.
In the meantime he was diligently studying medicine under Doctor Lomax of Bristow, Indiana, and subsequently entered the Kentucky School of Medicine at Louis­ville, where he graduated with the class of 1892. In 1907 he took a post-graduate course in the same institution. Doctor Goble was in practice at Chrisney, Indiana, until he sought a larger and better field for his skill and experience and removed to Evansville in 1906. Beside his official as­sociation with the Vanderburg Medical Society, he is a member of the Indiana State and the Ohio Valley Medical Associa­tions and is for 1919 Vanderburg County’s Health Commissioner.
He is affiliated with Evansville Lodge, No. 64, Free and Accepted Masons, and Orion Lodge Knights of Pythias. He and wife are active members of Olivet Presby­terian Church.
He married in 1893 Oma R. Cooper, a native of Perry County. Her father, Gabriel Cooper, for many years was a prominent and successful teacher in that county.
