   J. B. INGELS, Physician and Surgeon, Meriden, Iowa, was born in
   Wabash County, Indiana, March 29, 1852. He is a son of JAMES INGLES,
   who was a native of Indiana. He was a farmer by occupation, and in
   1855 he removed from his native State to Stark County, Illinois, and
   lived there the remainder of his days. Mrs. James Ingels is still
   living. J. B. INGELS was reared in the State of Illinois. At the
   age of eighteen he began his classical education at Abingdon, Ill-
   inois, and after finishing there he entered upon the study of his
   profession at Bellevue Hospital Medical College, New York City.
   After his graduation from this institution he went to Cambridge,
   Illinois, and remained there but a short time. He then removed to
   Galva, Illinois, and practiced there three years; thence in the
   spring of 1881 he went to Meriden, Cherokee County, Iowa, in which
   place he has since resided.  Dr. INGELS was united in marriage,
   March 5, 1878, to MIss ALLIE VAILL, a daughter of JOHN and MARIAN
   VAILL, who was born May 11, 1856, in Henderson, Illinois. ,By this
   union four children have been born: ERLIE V., FREDERICK J., RAY,
   and PEARLIE (deceased). ,The Doctor owns forty acres of land in
   section 23, Sheridan Township; 311 acres in section 19, Liberty
   Township; 153 acres in section 30, Liberty Township; and forty
   acres in the northwest corner of the town limits. ,He is a member
   of the Cherokee County Medical Association, of the Iowa State
   Medical Society, and of the American Medical Association. Poli-
   tically he affiliates with the Republican party. Both Dr. and Mrs.
   INGELS are worthy members of the Christian Church, the Doctor
   holding the office of elder in the church, and superintendent of
   the Sunday-school.  He is a member of the town council, and in
   every way does his part as a loyal citizen.  Dr. INGELS has an
   excellent practice in his profession, and has the confidence of
   the community in which he lives.
