WALTER M. SMALLEY,* M.D. Dr. Walter M. Smalley, practicing in Upper Sandusky
along modern scientific lines, is recognized as an able expo nent of his
profession and the liberal patronage accorded him is proof of the confidence
reposed in him by the general pub lic. He is also a successful and
discriminating business man, his shrewdness and foresight being important
elements in the rapid expansion of the Union National Drug Company, of which he
is the vice president and a large stockholder. He was born in Fredericksburg,
Wayne county, Ohio, January 19, 1862, and is a son of Dr. Jacob W. and Margaret
C. Arm strong (Porter) Smalley. The father was a native of Wayne county, born
August 30, 1822, and a prominent and success ful practicing physician, engaging
in the duties of his profes sion until 1882 and passing away in 1902. The mother
was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Porter, early settlers in Holmes county.
She has also passed away, her death having occurred in 1901. In their family
were four children: Wil liam P., who makes his home with the subject of this
review; Walter M., the subject of this sketch; Charles E., who mar ried Miss
Effie Sellers, of Marysville, Ohio, and who has four children; and Richard, who
lives in the west. Dr. Walter M. Smalley acquired his early education in the
grammar and high schools of Upper Sandusky and supple mented this by a course in
the Western Reserve University at Cleveland, which he attended for two years. He
later entered the Fort Wayne (Indiana) College of Medicine, from which he was
graduated in 1889 with the degree of M. D. In the same year he began the
practice of his profession at Ohio City, in Van Wert county, and there continued
for fourteen years, coming at the end of that time to Upper Sandusky, where he
has since lived. Here he opened an office and has been successful in the general
practice of medicine and surgery, his ability drawing to him a large and
representative patronage. For five years he was associated with Dr. Naus in the
conduct of the Smalley & Naus Sanitarium but in 1911 he sold out his interests
to his partner. By reading and in vestigation Dr. Smalley keeps in touch with
the advanced thought of the profession and his labors have been attended with
excellent results viewed from both a financial and pro fessional standpoint. He
is, besides, well known in business circles of Upper Sandusky as vice president
of the Union National Drug Company, which was incorporated in 1911 with the
following officers: J. W. T. Davis, president; Dr. Walter M. Smalley, vice
president; and Ira R. Pontius, sec retary and treasurer. Dr. Smalley is also
vice president of the Cosmo Buttermilk Soap Company and is a large stock holder
in that concern.On April 23, 1890, Dr. Smalley was united in marriage in Upper
Sandusky to Miss Myrtie L. Kenan, a daughter of Alvin and Elizabeth Kenan, the
former a prominent real- estate dealer of the city. Dr. and Mrs. Smalley have
three children, Margaret Elizabeth, Alvin Kenan and Cora Helen. The family
reside in a comfortable and attractive residence in Upper Sandusky, which forms
only a part of Dr. Smalley 's extensive real-estate interests which include
valuable tracts of residence and business property. Dr. Smalley is a member of
the Presbyterian church, and his political allegiance is given to the republican
party. Fra ternally he is connected with the Masonic order, the Inde pendent
Order of Odd Fellows, the Knights of Pythias and the Knights of the Maccabees,
and he belongs also to the Chamber of Commerce. He was for four years a member
of Company B, Ohio National Guard, and served ably and effi ciently as a member
of the board of deputy supervisors of election of Wyandot county. He is a
progressive and earnest physician, keeping in touch with the trend of modern
thought concerning matters of professional advancement, but with a mind broad
enough in its scope to include interest in munici pal and business affairs. He
has made a creditable record both as a business man and as a member of the
medical fra ternity and has met with gratifying success in his practice.
