Dr. Adam Sisler was but four years of age when his parents removed from Pennsylvania to New York, and in the latter state attended the academy at Aurora, where he later taught school a year and then came to Manchester, Ohio, where he taught four years, in the meantime reading medicine with his brother, William. In the fall of 1847 he entered Cleveland Medical college, studied one year, then practiced three years, after which he re-entered college and graduated therefrom in 1853. He immediately returned to Manchester, and for twenty years was associated with his brother, who finally removed to Akron, and there passed the remainder of his life. In the early years of the doctor's practice here the country was new and the roads little better than trails, and he was forced to travel a radius of thirty or forty miles on horseback in order to attend to his patients; but he has been very successful, and his reputation, hard earned as it is, is as high as that of any physician in the county.

Lewis E. Sisler was primarily educated in the district school of Manchester, graduated from the high school, ne.xt attended the-Smithville academy, and then entered the Northwestern Ohio normal university at Ada. Following his graduation from the latter institution, he taught school two or more years in Nfanchester and its environs, and in 1879 began reading medicine. When he fied been sufficiently prepared by diligent study for a full comprehension of oral utterances, he attended lectures at the medical department of the Western Reserve university at Cleveland, fiom which he received his diploma in the spring of 1883. He then practiced his profession, in partnership with his father, for a year or more, in his native village, whence he moved to Clinton, Summit county, where his practice was so renuinerative that he remained there fourteen years, establishing an imperishable reputation for unusual skill and proficiency.
In politics Dr. Sisler is an uncompromising republican, and for eleven years lias been a member of the republican county executive committee, of which he was vice-cliairman three years, and chairman in 1890. In 1SS9 he was appointed, by President Harrison, a member of the Akron board of pension examiners, and in 1895 elected auditor of Summit county by the handsome plurality of 1,600, and was qualified for the office September 14, 1896, and up to the present writing no v.'ord of disparagement has been uttered against him, but, on the other hand, constant praise has been his, for the able manner in which he has filled the duties of his office.
The first marriage of Dr. Sisler took place in 1884, to Miss Metta B. Miller, of Canal Fulton, and to this union were born two children— Dreamond Miller and John Rutherford. The doctor was bereaved of his amiable wife May 25, 1891, and in December, 1895, he married Miss Eva Tilton, a highly accomplished lady, also of Canal Fulton. In religion Mrs. Sisler adheres to the Methodist Episcopal church, while the doctor worships with the Christian society. The fraternal relations of Dr. Sisler are broad and e.extended, as he holds membership with the Masonic order, the Independent Order of Odd F"ellow3, the Knights of Pythias, the Benevolent & Protective Order of Elks, and the Knights of Maccabees, in which last-named order he is medical examiner-in-chief for the state of Ohio. The doctor and his amiable lady hold a very high position in the social circles of Akron, as they also did while residing in Man- PORTRAIT
Chester, and his professional success has ever been a matter of satisfaction to himself as well as of congratulation by his numerous friends.
