DANIEL JAY JOHNS: Physician, was born, March 18th, 1797 in West Stockbridge, Berkshire county, Massachusetts, and was educated at Salisbury, Connecticut. Having selected medicine as his future profession, he studied that science in the medical department of Yale College, and, after a careful examination by the professors and trustees of the institution, received in 1818 a license to practise as a physician and surgeon. This date was prior to the passage of the law which afterwards required the regular graduate to receive a diploma. In the summer of the same year, he removed to Ohio and settled at Wellington, a town which then existed only in name, and in which locality he has ever since resided. He practised medicine among the early settlers as well as among the aborigines. One of the latter was Captain Williams, a half-breed, who had carried orders from General (afterwards President) Harrison to Crown at Sandusky; this Williams was the son of a daughter of Parson Williams, who had been stolen by the Indians during the French war. His practice extended throughout the then county of Medina (now Lorain and Medina) more than twenty miles in all directions from his home in Wellington, and there was but another professional associate in all that territory, so sparse was the population. He was actively engaged for over forty years. He is now nearly fourscore years of age, but retains his health remarkably well. Some time ago he had an arm broken by the fall of a limb, and it remained paralyzed for the period of two years, but he has since regained its use. His political proclivities inclined him to vote the Democratic ticket, but after the election of General Jackson to the Presidency he became a Whig, and since the dissolution of the latter party has adhered to the Republican organization. He was elected a Magistrate, and served in that capacity for two terms. In 1838 he was appointed Associate Judge, and was on the bench for seven years. In 1851 he was General Agent of the Cleveland, Columbus & Cincinnati Railroad, and remained in that office until the completion of the road. In token of the valuable services he rendered that company, and as a mark of their appreciation of his efforts in their behalf, he was tendered by them a free pass over the line during life. He was married in 1823 to Mary Wadsworth; she died in 1870, leaving a numerous family.
