Dr. Elijah Carney
Dr. Elijah Carney was from Kentucky. He settled in old Berkshire in 1835. He and Dr. Ralph Hills entered the profession about the same year, the latter in Delaware. There are many yet living in the county, and especially around Berkshire, who well remember old Dr. Carney. His wonderful ability and ways gave him the entire business for many miles in and around the village of Berkshire. He graduated at the Cleveland Medical College. His attention to his patients, his industrious and studious habits, as well as his sympathetic power, gained him the confidence of the people. He died in 1869, leaving numerous relatives in this and Morrow Counties.
