THOMAS H. ARMSTRONG, of Belmont, was born in Belmont county, September 4, 1831. He received his college education
at Allegheny College, Meadville, Pennsylvania. He then pursued the study of medicine, graduating at Starling Medical
College in the year 1855, since which time he has been engaged in the practice of his profession at, or near, Powhattan,
Ohio, with the exception of one year, 1857, which he spent in Fairfield, Jefferson county, Iowa.
During the Rebellion Mr. Armstrong was examined, with a party of about seventy five, for the position of surgeon
in the army, and only four out of the seventy five passed an examination for Chief Surgeon, he being one of the
four, not only this, but he stood first most thorough of these four. This surely speaks well for him as a medical
man. In addition to his practice, he owns a drug store in Powhattan.
He was married in 1859. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Mr. Armstrong does not pretend to be a politician, although he has always been an active Republican. He was made
a candiidate for the place he now holds without effort on his part, not even being present at the convention. The
county from which he comes is a Democratic county, but Mr. Armstrong ran on the Republican ticket, receiving a
majority of three hundred and sixty two votes.
