Transcribed by Cherre Loftus Flynn. THE HISTORY OF ASHTABULA COUNTY, OHIO WITH ILLUSTRATIONS AND BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF ITS PIONEERS AND MOST PROMINENT MENT Published in Philadelphia by Williams Brothers in 1878 "DR. MARCUS KINGSLEY was born in Barrington, Yates County, New York, on March 15, 1837. He is the youngest of five children. His father, Simon Kingsley, was a native of Providence, Rhode Island, and his mother, Miss L. Stanton, of Litchfield County, Connecticut, at which point they were married. (They) removed to Barrington in about 1828, and here the father died in the fall of 1844. The mother soon afterwards removed to Dundee, New York, and remained there until 1860, when she removed to Kingsville, and yet resides there. The subject of this sketch attended district school and the Dundee Academy until the age of nineteen years, when he chose the profession of medicine as the one best suited to his life's labor, and began its study in the office of Dr. George Z. Noble of Dundee. (He) continued to read medicine three years, making himself generally useful about the place as an equivalent for his board. He attended the Cleveland Homeopathic College during the years 1859 and 1860. In the spring of the latter year coming to Kingsville, he located there as the pioneer of his practice in northeast Ashtabula County. His means were limited; there was prejudice against his school; he was an entire stranger; yet he went to work, and as a result, has now a large, rapidly increasing, and lucrative practice. He was elected in 1863 an honorary member of the Ontario and Yates County Medical Society of New York, and in the following year of the Ohio Homeopathic Medical Society of Cleveland. He was elected a member of the Board of Education of Kingsville Township in 1870 and was mainly instrumental in the organization of the special school district, where is now a fine graded school with an average attendance of over one hundred scholars. In the fall of 1873, he was elected coroner of Ashtabula County, and, on the death of Sheriff Hart, the subsequent July, assumed the duties of that office; he, however, soon resigned. He was in 1875 the originator of the First Evangelical Society of North Kingsville, and was instrumental in erecting an edifice for public worship. He is a member of the Baptist Church and a Knight Templar, affiliating with Cache' commandery, No. 27 of Conneaut, and the lodges subordinate to that. Dr. Kinsley was on the 3rd day of March, 1870, united in marriage to Celina Stella, daughter of James C. and Clarissa M. Smith, who were of New England parentage. Dr. Kingsley is a Republican in politics, and a strong advocate of total abstinence."
