Clement J. Logsdon
Clement J. Logsdon, the only druggist in Osborn, is a native son of Ohio and has lived in this state all his life. He was born on a farm in Knox county, son of C. C. and Amelia (Hays) Logsdon, both of whom were born in that same county and who there spent all their lives. Reared on the farm, Clement J. Logsdon received his early schooling in the common schools and then for three winters taught school in his home county. He then entered the pharmacy department of Ohio State University at Columbus and after a three-year course in that institution graduated in 1898. Upon receiving his diploma Mr. Logsdon became employed as a registered pharmacist at Columbus and from that city went to Newark, where he was engaged in a similar capacity until 1900. In that year he became engaged as the registered pharmacist in the drug store of Doctor Campbell at Osborn. Eight years later he bought the Campbell store and has since conducted the same, now the only druggist in the village.
Mr. Logsdon is a Democrat. As a member of the Commercial Club of Osborn he has done his part in promoting all movements designed to advance the interests of that village. Since taking up his residence in Osborn Mr. Logsdon has taken an active part in the work of the local chautauqua movement. He is a member of the Ohio State Pharmacists Association.
