A. F. McQUEEN, M.D.
An Amherst physician whose experience and abilities have brought him to a recognized position of prominence is A. F. McQueen, who enjoys a large private practice in that locality and took up his professional work there a few years ago backed by a liberal education and a. long and thorough training in medical 'school and hospital.
He represents an old family of Northern Ohio. His grandfather, Joel H. McQueen, came along to Lorain County when a young man and for fifteen years sailed the Great Lakes, rising to the post of captain of a vessel. He finally tired of the water, and then settled on the farm where he died in Brownhelm Township. He married Abbie Betts. Her father Alfred H. Betts, was a graduate of Delbert College in Cleveland, and was an early minister of the Congregational Church, erecting the first church of that denomination in Brownhelm Township. That edifice is still standing and is used as a place of worship today.
Doctor McQueen was born in Brownhelm Township of Lorain County January 7, 1884, a. son of Fred B. and Anna (Savage) McQueen. His mother was born in Pennsylvania in 1857 and his father in Brownhelm Township of Lorain County in 1854. They were married in Brownhelm and are still living. His father has been one of the practical farmers of Brownhelm Township for many years, and still owns a hundred acres, largely in fruit, and at one time he had an orchard of twenty acres in peaches.
While always active in republican politics, he has seldom sought office, and served only as township trustee and assessor. The family are members of the Congregational Church. Fred B. McQueen and wife are the parents of four children, three of whom are still living: Milo W. is on a farm; Ed was a mechanic and was killed in 1915; Doctor McQueen is the third in age; Abbie is still at home with her parents.
Besides the education he received in the district schools while living as a boy on the home farm Doctor McQueen graduated from Hiram College in 1908. His professional training for three years was pursued in the Cleveland College of Physicians and Surgeons, and in 1911 he graduated M.D. from the Western Reserve Medical College. He afterwards spent a year as an intern in St, Joseph's Hospital at Lorain, and in 1913 located at Amherst and took up general practice as a physician and surgeon.
A large share of his practice comes from the local quarries. He is also medical examiner for a number of fraternal organizations. He is a member of the Lodge, Chapter and Council of Masonry, and both he and his wife belong to the Eastern Star, and he is also affiliated with the Eagles, the Knights and Ladies of Security, the Modern Woodmen of America, the Brotherhood of American Yeomen, and the Tribe of Ben Hun. Politically he is a republican.
In 1913 Doctor McQueen married Wastelle Inks. She was born in Holmes County, Ohio, and at the time of her marriage was a trained nurse in the St. Joseph Hospital at Lorain. Mrs. McQueen is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In line with his profession Doctor McQueen is a member of the County and State Medical Societies and the American Medical Association.
