Dr. L. D. LeFevre
Dr. L. D. LeFevre was born in Salem Township, this county, January 1, 1837. He|'e he lived on the home farm until he commenced the study of medicine in Cincinnati, where he graduated in the spring of 1861. On the 1st of March, 1862, he enlisted as hospital steward in Co. K, 57th O. V. I., but, during his three years’ service was acting assistant surgeon. He was finally mustered out at Columbus, Ohio, and at once began the practice of medicine at Careysville, Champaign County,Ohio. In 1875 he came to Sidney, but about a year later moved to Anna and opened a drugstore, practising medicine at the same time. In about six months he found his practice so extensive that he abandoned the drug business, and turned his whole attention to his profession. In this direction he has been unusually successful, his practice being really too extensive to be easily pursued. In 1866 he married Elizabeth Cecil, who died about 1873. In 1875 he married Clara Leckey, who is still living. They have four children, named Lucius M., Louisa Jane, Courtland L., and Benjamin F.
