Following from Portrait and biographical record of Auglaize, Logan and Shelby counties, Ohio (published in 1892):
Washington G. Kishler
Washington G. Kishler, M.D., of St. Mary's, who has recently retired from an extensive and lucrative practice of more than forty years' duration, has had a wide experience in his profession, in which he has always maintained a high standing, and his name is familiar in many a household in Auglaize County as the loved physician who is honored by the people to whose ills he so long and tenderly ministered.
The Doctor comes of the sterling pioneer stock of Ohio, and was born in Perry County October 8, 1824. His father, George Kishler, was born in Mifflin County, Pa., in 1798, and was a son of Frederick Kishler, who was a farmer of that State and was of Pennsylvania-German descent. In 1810, the later removed with his family to Ohio and became one of the pioneers of Perry County, where he died at the ripe old age of nearly ninety years. He reared four sons and three daughters, all of whom are dead. The father of our subject was the second son of the family. He was reared to the life of a farmer, and at the age of twenty-two married and settled in life, taking a Miss Goodwin as his wife. She died at the birth of our subject, and her husband was twice married afterward. He had nine children by his third wife, of whom eight are living. Three of his sons fought nobly for the Union during the late war, and his son William gave up his life for his country at Stony River. He was a brave and efficient soldier, who bore a high reputation as a man and Kishler Post No. 83, St. Mary's, was named in his honor. We may mention in this connection that our subject was very desirous to enter the army when the war broke out, but the people here protested so strongly that he gave up the idea, and did his duty manfully in the home field.
After his marriage, the father of our subject became the manager of a country store, and subsequently was placed in charge of another store, and was made partner in the business. A few years later, he purchased the store, and for thirty years was successful7 engaged in carrying it on, becoming one of the leading merchants of Perry County, where he was well known. He was prominent in its public life and in training times was Major of a regiment of State militia. He was Justice of the Peace of Jackson Township, Perry County, was Postmaster many years, and at one time was County Commissioner. He affiliated with the Methodists in his last days. In the latter part of his life, he sold his farm and store, and removed to New Lexington, where he died at a venerable age in 1880.
The subject of this biography was cared for by an aunt in early childhood until his father married a second time. His educational advantages during his boyhood were limited to about three months' attendance in a little country school that was fully three miles from his home, and was held in a typical log schoolhouse of pioneer times. At the age of thirteen, he was sent to Zanesville, to the McIntyre High School, of which he was a pupil the ensuing three years. After his return home, he assisted his father in his store two years, and at the age of eighteen began to prepare himself for the profession which he was ambitious to enter, by reading medicine with Dr. Mason, of New Lexington, a prominent and widely known physician at that time, with whom he studied four years. Under the instruction of that learned man, our subject was well fitted for the responsibilities of the life that lay before him, when he opened an office at Kenton, in Hardin County, and took up his calling in the month of June, 1845. The path before him was not all strew with roses, however, as hem as soon afflicted with chills, a disease he has never encountered among the breezy hills of his native county, and he suffered from them for some months.
In 1847, Dr. Kishler enlisted to take part in the Mexican War, joining the reorganized Second Ohio Regiment, of which he was made Steward. He was subsequently taken sick, and was transferred to the general hospital, in which he was confined six months. He was discharged and arrived home in February, 1848, and in the month of May, that year, he came to this county, and for a year was established at Wapakoneta. Coming thence to St. Mary's, he has made this his home ever since, and has practiced his profession in this and adjoining counties until his retirement in March, 1892. When he came here, St. Mary's was a small but lively village, being quite a commercial and milling centre on the new canal, and people came here from the surrounding country for a distance of many files to mill, and the Doctor soon became widely known and very popular, not only on account of his pleasant social qualities, but for his success in contending with the prevailing diseases, which were principally chills, bilious and intermittent fevers, etc. He visited his patients on horseback for many years, often riding long distances over rough roads or through forest paths, and many a time he has seen deer and other wild animals not now found in this part of the country. During his long practice of forty-five years, he has had many varied experiences, and has had to deal with many strange and difficult cases. The young doctor of to-day can have no idea what the physicians of the past had to go through with in pioneer times.
Our subject has been a member of the Northwestern Ohio Medical Society for twenty-five years, has belonged to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows since 1845, and to the Masonic fraternity since 1848. Politically, he is a Democrat, but not a politician, and never would accept an office. Religiously, he is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and is a Trustee thereof. He has been a Pension Examiner for St. Mary's and Auglaize County since 1862. The Doctor has been fortunate in his investments, and is one of the wealthy men of the county. He has four hundred and seventy acres of valuable land in the county, all within four and one-half miles of St. Mary's, and three hundred and seventy acres of it on the oil and gas region. There are now seven wells on his land producing oil, from which he derives a handsome income, and he is also interested in some additions to St. Mary's.
Dr. Kishler was married in 1852 to Miss Louise Ham (sic), who is descended from an old Maryland family, and was born near Hagerstown, that state. Her father died when she was nine years old, and since she was fifteen she has lived in Ohio, spending the first few years of her life here at Sidney, in Shelby County. Her wedded life has been one of felicity, and has been hallowed to them by three children; Willis, who is married, and is Cashier in the Home Banking Company Bank at St. Mary's; Harry, who is a farmer at St. Mary's; and Belle Blanche, wife of Michael Donelly, also of St. Mary's.¹
