MARION W. UBERROTH, M. D. has been identified with the medical profession of Seneca county, Ohio, during the past fifteen years, and since he was a year and a half old has resided within its borders.

Dr. Uberroth was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1872, and in his youth enjoyed good educational advantages. Being the son of a physician and later the step-son of a physician, it was natural for him to incline toward the medical profession when old enough to select his life work. His education, begun in the common schools, was carried forward at Heidelberg College and finished in the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Baltimore, Maryland, where in 1893; at the age of twenty-one, the youngest member of his class, he received his degree of M. D. In the meantime his father, Dr. A. S. Uberroth, had died and his mother had become the wife of Dr. William H. Focht who took up the practice left by Dr. A. S. Uberroth. After his graduation young Uberroth settled at New Riegel, Ohio, as a partner of his step-father, Dr. Focht. But after a year Dr. Focht came to Tiffin, and Dr. Uberroth remained there until the death of Dr. Focht, when he moved to Tiffin, in 1906, and where he has since been successfully engaged in practice, with office at 70 1/2 East Perry Street.

On November 17, 1898, Dr. Uberroth married Miss Cora La Fountaine, a daughter of Nicholas and Theresa Fountaine and a native of Seneca county, born August 22, 1880. To them have been given three children: Marion W., born October 8, 1903; Flavius J., March 11, 1907; and Marjorie D., July 9, 1908.

The doctor has associated himself with various medical organizations, including the County, State, American and Northwestern Medical Societies. He has membership in Pickwick Lodge, No.175, K. of P., and, politically, is a Republican.
