Dr. A.B. Denison, physician; Shaucks; son of Benjamin and Eunice (Williams) Denison; was born March 9, 1837, in Susquehanna Co., Penn. He lived on a farm and received the rudiments of an English education until he was fifteen, when he entered a general store as clerk, where he remained until he reached his majority. In 1858 he left the store and engaged in lumbering and farming for three years, at the expiration of which time he entered upon the study of the profession, for which nature has so eminently fitted him, in the office of Dr. T.C. Denison, of Mehoopeny, Wyoming Co., Penn. Here he remained one year, making careful preparation for the courses of lectures which he attended in the Medical Department of Michigan University, at Ann Arbor, in the fall of 1862. He returned to Mehoopeny, and practiced with success until September, 1865, when he came to Johnsville, and practiced until November of that year, at which time he entered the Starling Medical College at Columbus, Ohio, where he graduated Feb. 26, 1867. He returned to Johnsville, where he has built up an extensive practice in Morrow, Richland and Knox counties. Dr. Denison has gathered a fine collection of Professional Works, of which he is a close student. He began life with few of this world's goods, and has gained a handsome competence. His success in practice is largely due to his comprehensive reading, quick perception and sound judgement. He united his fortunes with Mary J. Ross, of Mehoopeny, Penn. They have one son - Adam B., born May 29, 1868. The Doctor's father, Benjamin Denison, was a Physician; died on February, 1837, leaving a fmaily of nine children - John W., now a Physician at Mehoopeny; Elizabeth, deceased, was wife of R.T. Stevens, and leaves a family; George M., died in 1866, in Pennsylvania; C.G., a merchant at Corning, New York; Eunice, now Mrs. R.T. Stevens; T.C., a Physician at Mehoppeny; Lewis B., died at the age of 18; Ann, died when young; and A.B., subject of these lines. Dr. Denison is a member of Mansfield Lodge, F.A.M.; also the Mt. Gilead chapter.
