BOUNELL, Matthew Hugh - Fountain County INGenWeb Project

The following special from Lebanon will be sad news to the friends of Dr. Bounell, who practiced for many years at Yountsville: “Dr. Matthew H. Bounell, seventy four years old, died at his home in this city at 6 o’clock this morning, of an acute attack of laryngitis. He was one of the best known physicians in central Indiana, having been engaged in the practice of medicine for nearly fifty years. He was the regimental surgeon of the One Hundred and Sixteenth Indiana Regiment, and the last of the regimental officers of the One Hundred and Sixteenth, of which Wm C. Kise was colonel, G. O. Behm, lieutenant-colonel, Edwin J. Loveless, major, and Charles C. Dutch, quartermaster—all of whom have been dead for several years. Dr. Bounell was junior member of the firm of Reagan & Bounell, of this city. Each of the members has been engaged for a half century in the practice of his profession.”    -– kbz
