S.I. MOCK, Physician, and druggist, Covington, is claimed by the physicians of Covington to be one of the best read medical students of the medical fraternity of Fountain county. He is a native of Frederick county Maryland and is a man now (1880) thirty-eight years of age. He received a liberal literary education and in 1863 came west, and engaged in teaching school in Preble county Ohio, where he remained until 1866, and then went to Peoria county Illinois, and began the study of medicine, devoting a portion of his time to teaching. In the fall of 1871 he went to Indianapolis and took a course of lectures of the Indiana Medical College. He then went to Waveland, Montgomery county Indiana and continued to study medicine with his brother J.W. Mock. His next move was to attend the Medical College of Cincinnati Ohio, graduating in the spring of 1874. He then accepted the position of assistant physician in the Good Samaritan Hospital of Cincinnati, and remained about one year, then took a position in the Longview Asylum near Cincinnati where he spent three years. In 1878 he returned to his old home and in 1879 came to Covington to engage in the drug trade with his brother, in which business he has since been engaged.

J.W.
MOCK, Physician, and surgeon, Covington, is one of the leading members
of the medical fraternity of Fountain county. He is a native of
Frederick County Maryland. He was a resident of Darke county Ohio during
the time of his study of medicine. In 1863 he became a graduate of the
Ohio Medical College of Cincinnati and a short time thereafter was
appointed assistant physician of the Longview Hospital of Cincinnati,
where he remained about one year. He then entered the Federal Army as
contract surgeon which position he held about three months and was then
commissioned assistant surgeon of the 11th Ohio Vol. Inf. He remained in
the service about fifteen months during which time he gained much
valuable knowledge in the practice of medicine. Returning from the army
he settled at Waverly, Morgan County Indiana, and engaged in his
profession and was married to Miss Ella McClure, who is a native of that
county. They have but one child living, Charles, now four years of age.
In 1863 the Doctor became a resident of Covington, where he has since
resided, and given his time and attention fully to his practice; and it
is due him to say that his standing as one of the first and best
physicians of this county cannot be questioned. The Doctor has never had
any political aspirations. He is a member of Fountain Lodge No. 60 A.F.
and A.M. and of the Fountain County Medical Society.
