Joel Pomerene, M.D.
Joel Pomerene, M. D., a rising young physicial and surgeon of Holmes County, with residence at Mount Hope, was born at Millersburgh, a son of Dr. Joel Pomerene, Sr., and Parmelia (Meyers) Pomerene, the former of whom died in 1881. Our subject was reared in his native city, and was given a collegiate education, attending the Western Reserve College, Cleveland. He early chose the calling of his father, and with him began the study of medicine, attending lectures at the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Chicago, Ill., and the medical department of Wooster University. August 1, 1888, he located at Mount Hope, and began his practice, which has already become a lucrative one, and he is fast gaining the confidence of the community. He is a hard student, and gives close attention to his profession, leaving nothing undone that will increase his knowledge of the treatment of disease. His genial manners make him a favorite in the sick room, and although so young in the practice, he holds a place equal to many older physicians. His wife was formerly Miss Lura, daugher of H. F. Watson, of Algona, Iowa.
