This issue of Montgomery Memories is dedicated to:
C.C. Eyler
By KAREN BAZZANI ZACH
Montgomery Memories
Most certainly, a nifty historical area
article can be found almost anywhere,
even popping into one of my Around The
County interviews as did the story for
this dedication when talking to Dave and
Margy McCafferty. Margy had an Irish
wall dedicated to their ancestors. We were
discussing it and then she got out one of
the most awesome pictures I’ve ever seen,
the one shown here of her grandfather,
Clayton Chamberlain Eyler, Dentist who
is obviously working on a man’s teeth.
The cabinet with lots of drawers, I’m sure
is filled with tools and medicines. Bottles
on the top have possibly ether and whatever is needed. There’s a fan in case the
patient (or the dentist) is about to faint. If
more light was needed, he just open up
the blinds. Dr. C.C. Eyler is printed on
the window. In the next room, he raised
canaries.
Hopefully, we’ll have enough space for
the picture of his awesome waiting room,
too. If not, I’ll try to describe it in fullforce. It’s quite interesting with the comfy
leather-covered wooden chair and spittoon
beside it, obviously a man’s relaxing place
and I suppose the fainting bed was for the
“weaker sex,” as they say. This area may
have served as a recovery area, along with
it being the waiting room. Love the man’s
hat hanging on the nailed-up board, as
well as the Diploma and perhaps awards
in the frames. The small copper oil lamp

Emergency drove Mona to help out others
By MONA CLOUSE
Montgomery Memories
In 1976 I became an Emergency
Medical Technician because of our
youngest son, Lance. When he was
eighteen months old he had a temperature of 100.2 degrees and he went into
convulsions. I had never been around
anyone who had done this before and
had no clue how to handle the situation.
I just grabbed a spoon from the kitchen
and sat with him on the living room
floor trying to keep him from hurting
himself. I ended up calling 911 to ask
for help from S-W Rescue in the New
Market area. I had never been in a
situation where I needed help like this
and was so thankful for the person that
came that day.
After assessing what needed to be
done the person went to the firehouse
to get the ambulance because Lance
needed to go to the hospital. He was
still in a state of convulsing when
Bill Etter, who was the owner of the
Ford Motor Dealership in New Market, drove up to the front door of our
home on South Third Street in his own
personal car to take Lance and me to
Culver Hospital. It was discovered that
the ambulance would not start and since
it was housed next to the Ford Dealership, Mr. Etter was aware of the problem and he immediately said he would
take us. My neighbors, Mr. and Mrs.
Harper were so kind and watched Nicole and Brad while I wrapped Lance
in a blanket, grabbed a bottle and got
in the back of Bill Etter’s Thunderbird
to go to Culver Hospital. This was not
the last time that the convulsions would
happen, but at least I learned what to
do when it happened again.
This experience made me aware that
I did not want to ever have that feeling
again of helplessness in an emergency.
If there was a situation that might come
up with my family, I wanted to know
how to handle it. The S-W Rescue was
looking for people to become EMT’s
by taking an EMT class of 120 hours.
They would cover the cost of taking
this class if one would agree to work
on the ambulance for 2 years. I signed
up as soon as I could.
I had so many nice people that
worked with the S-W group to help me
get started. At that time the names that
come to my mind were Nancy Seaman,
Bill Servies, Tyke Rice, Barb Dickey
and Max Nichols. I worked primarily
with these people when this all started
PASTA FAGIOLI WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGE
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
4 cups chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
3/4 cup uncooked elbow macaroni
2 cans (15 oz each) Cannellini beans, drained, rinsed (can use Red Kidney Beans)
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes, do not drain.
1/2 lb ground Italian sausage, browned and drained (Can use Links . . . just take off
casing)
Grated Parmesan cheese, fresh thyme and crushed red pepper flakes, if desired
1) Heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook 3 to 5 minutes or until tender and
translucent. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer, stirring frequently.
2) Place thyme, marjoram, the chicken broth in a pan -- Heat to boiling. Add macaroni;
boil 5 to 7 minutes or until macaroni is almost tender but retains a bit of bite.
3) Add mixture to stockpot along with the tomatoes and cans of beans and the sausage.
Turn setting to low and cook for 2 to 3 hours to blend flavors.
(Since sausage and everything is really cooked except for the beans and tomatoes, the
time in crock pot is to just meld the flavors so adjust time to your liking. I also sometimes
do the macaroni by itself and add at the last 1 1/2 hours so it stays a little firmer.)
To serve, ladle soup into bowls. Top each serving with remaining ingredients if dried.

 In The Library
CDPL has quite the collection on Drs. and more
By JODIE STEELMAN WILSON
Montgomery Memories
When it comes to doctors,
nurses, dentists, and other medical professionals, we have some
great material in the CDPL local
history collection! One of the
most useful research resources
is a compilation of Montgomery
County doctors entitled “Montgomery Medicine Men and
Women Born 1850 or Before,”
written by Karen Bazzani Zach.
This very helpful compendium
contains the biographies of every
known medical practitioner
from the county’s earliest years.
Of these earliest “doctors,”
some were schooled in medical
colleges, others were trained by
apprenticeship, and others just
saw a need and tried to meet it
the best way they could. An example of the last type was Sarah
Kenworthy Hiatt, a local Quaker
who began serving as a midwife
in 1836, because of a lack of
available obstetrical care.
We are also fortunate to have
photographs of local doctors and
dentists in our “Image database,” our searchable database
of local photographs and documents. Although we continue
to accept donations relating to
our local history, many of these
photographs of doctors had been
collected for many years for
display at Culver Union Hospital. Although it was not recorded
when the transfer occurred, it
is evident that this collection of
photographs finally migrated to
the local history collection at the
library, where it is now securely stored in our archives. This
collection is a great help when
we are presented with questions
about local doctors. Additional
photographs of doctors have
been added in the past few years,
but they are not very common,
unfortunately. The family of Dr.

The Doctor’s Visit
Jerry Turner
Have big news to announce?
For me ‘twas a day of dread.
A young lad I was,
healthy and vibrant,
full of energy and life.
Yet a trip to see the doctor,
my mom was taking me,
to get stuck by a big needle
in my arm.
‘Twas not a trip to the big building
the monster on Binford Street
but a friendly looking house on Main,
the doctors own home ‘twas.
A short wait is all ‘twas,
nurse with a candy sucker,
the doctor with his smile,
yet my apprehension increased.
The needle magically appeared,
‘twas not as big as I imagined,
only a pinprick and ‘twas over,
and relief came o’er me.

Samuel Graham Rogers of Darlington
provided the library with some wonderful information several years ago,
including a book of information regarding the Rogers family.
The local history collection also
includes the papers of Dr. Wemple
Dodds, who started the Culver Hospital
Labs and Radiology department. He
came to Crawfordsville in 1933 after
he was recruited by Shirl Herr and
George Collett. Among the items in the
extensive Dodds collection are medical certificates, plaques, pins, many
cal non-M.D. practitioners, such as
Zetta Rafferty of Crawfordsville, a
chiropractor; James Barker, an osteopath; and Floyd Head, also of
Crawfordsville, said to practice the
“National College System.” John
Scherer was listed as a naturopathic doctor in Crawfordsville, and
Darlington resident James Thompson
was listed as a “Suggestive Therapeutic.” A similar resource is the list
of dentist’s licenses from 1946-1975
filed with the Circuit Court, including
licenses for Dr. Richard Merrill Tucker
(1974), Dr. Charles Richard Walker
(1975), and Dr. Arthur Donald Kenniker (1968).
The library is always looking for
further information about the county’s
earliest years, from original documents, diaries and ledgers, to early
photographs. Do you have a priceless

answers as any others. It certainly wasn’t
lack of competition, as less than a decade
after they came, there were a dozen dentists; however, Clayton Chamberlain Eyler
was not an ordinary dentist. He was a
dental surgeon, definitely one of the earlier
ones in the county. Evidently, he once
filled an ailing tooth for Gene Autry.
Dave told me that Gpa’ Eyler even
pulled a wisdom tooth for him, but to
quote Dave, “I knew this one came out. It
certainly wasn’t like going to Dr. Walker’s
where it’s easy!” Dave also told me that
Dr. Eyler smoked cigars in a holder, and
that he and Margy had asked him to purchase his 1937 Buick. He had given them
a $300 price. Well, the McCafferty kids
went to get the car and gave him $250.
They were hoping he’d give them a better
deal, but his comment was, “How are you
paying for the other $50?” Now, add this
nifty item to CC’s talents, he made false
teeth. Gma’ Eyler was well-known at the
Crawford Hotel. Several times a week,
she’d take her basket, and get it filled with
meals for the two. His practice lasted
almost 60 years in our fair city. His early
office was at 221 ½ East Main, with his
home at 410 E. Main. One of the earlier
city business telephones was in his office
and he also had one in his home. They
also lived at 415 E. Market for some time.
C.C. was quite the community man, holding roles in the Elks, Eagles and VFW Father’s Auxiliary. At the time of his death,
they lived at 909 West Wabash Avenue.
Dr. Eyler took a fall New Year’s Eve and
on January 2nd, 1962, was forced to go
into the hospital. He never came out and
passed away on the tenth, leaving his wife
and three sons, Jack, Clayton, George
and several grandchildren/greats. He was
buried in the Masonic Cemetery (which
is now called Oak Hill Grant Avenue but
don’t get me started on the name changes
of cemeteries).
The Eyler family history is most interesting. Margy says, “My brother spent
weeks tracing the family last summer
and traced to Switzerland the Von Euler
who then went to Germany. The ancestor
coming to the United States from Germany
on the ship Allen and landed in Philadelphia on September 15, 1759 was Conrad
Michael Euler. Some went to Ohio and
some went to Pennsylvania. The name
was spelled Eiler in Ohio and Eyler in
PA. Eylers had land in Western PA which
was divided by the Mason Dixon line and
later some were in Maryland where Eyler
Valley is and my grandfather’s family in
Waynesborough PA.”

medical practice, and with information
about Culver Hospital. In 1940, the
hospital added a radiology wing, and
Dr. Dodds’ scrapbooks are filled with
photographs of the hospital personnel
and equipment at that time. The nurses
pictured here were working at Culver
Hospital in May, 1940, and are Melita
Ocheltree, Marjorie O’Herron, Nell
Gleason, and Martha Johnson.

match) likely served as a supplemental
light because electricity was a bit iffy in
those times. Margy is lucky to have this
neat lamp. The three wise owls may represent the highly intelligent man himself.
C.C. Eyler was born in Waynesborough, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, on
March 15, 1877, the son of Adam and
Sara Jane “Emma” Kauffman. On a special scholarship, he was able to graduate
from the University of Maryland Dental
School in 1898. His marriage to Ida Mae
Wagner took place not long afterward, in
Baltimore, Maryland, July 15, 1898. For
a half decade, he practiced in Hagerstown,
Maryland, then ventured west to our fair
city in 1903. C.C. is Margy McCafferty’s
grandfather and when I asked her why he
came to Crawfordsville, Indiana, she said
she didn’t know but maybe they just got
tired of being on the train or they liked
the scenery? Think those are as feasible

For sure, I want to thank Margy and
Dave for sharing a piece of this interesting
man’s local history. I dedicate this March
2015 issue of the Montgomery Memories
which is on “medical aspects” of our
county to Dr. C.C. Eyler, who was not
only an interesting character, and one of
our first oral surgeons, but a fab addition
to our dear Crawfordsville!
Certainly, I am thankful that I was able
to take this training and I have used it
so many times with family and friends.

loved him to begin with but from then
on, he walked on water. Karma – I’m
sure of it!”
Although Dr. E.E. Richards’ office was in Russellville, he lived in
Crawfordsville behind where Staples
recently was. We went to him some
when I was a youngster, but the neat
thing he did that when Jim and I eloped,
he said, “Come on over to my house, and
I’ll draw the blood and send it in.” We
did, and he didn’t even lecture us about
running away to get married. I think he
knew that we were both mature enough
to handle it and guess he must have been
right as it’s been 47 years. Regarding
Dr. Richards, Bev said that he delivered
my brother and took care of all six kids
and mom and dad. She misses him.
Beverly said, “Dr. Richards delivered me
in 1944 at Culver and was my doctor until I got married in 1966. Bob confirmed
that Dr. Richards made house calls as the
good doc would stop in Browns Valley at
their house on the way to his Russellville
office.
Dr. Richard (Dick) Eggers was one
of our doctors, as well. I loved the guy
but daughter Suzie and he had a problem. She would upchuck on him almost
every time he’d try to check on her.
Finally, he donated her to his wonderful
nurse. Every time I’d see Dr. E. after
he retired (he loved our liver and onions
at the restaurant) he’d always ask about
our son, Jay but never, ever wondered
how Suzie was doing. In fact, if Suzie
was waiting tables, he’d dodge her area.
Del said he’d hide in the closet from
the doc. Tom said Dr. Eggers came to
their house for his asthma. Rebekah said
Dr. E. never had to make house calls
for them but she’s sure he would have,
because they just lived a block from each
other. Charles said they had Dr. Eggers
as a doctor for many years and his mom
cleaned the doc’s house. Shelly noted,
“Dr. Eggers was the bomb. Anything
I had he’d give me a shot and I’d feel
better in hours!”
Dr. Eggers was in with Dr. Daugherty
for many years. Penny said Dr. D. delivered her mom at home in 1935. Pam
said that he would give a shot every time
he made a house call.
Marlis noted that Dr. John Humphreys
delivered her, made house calls and delivered all three of her children at Culver.
John said the Dr. was a great guy, and
Greg was delivered by Dr. H along with
his sister at the old Culver Hospital, and
said that Dr. Humphreys certainly made
house calls.
“Those were the good ole days,” said
Kathy of Dr. Pearson and Dr. Shannon.
Aimee added about Dr. Pearson that he
was a great family friend, and that she
loved his office on East Main (across
from the Post Office).
Giving Dr. Marion Kirtley a run for the
most entries, Dr. Robert Cornell received
lots of comments. Jeanne said that her
memories were not good at all. “His
little black bag contained ether and many
times he came knocking with that bag. I
can still smell that ether to this day. I was
chased around the house until he caught
me and then … the ether. I remember
his sports car and private plane as well.”
Don added that his office was in the Ben
Hur Building. I remember the first time
he tried to give me a shot. I bolted from
the table and ran down the hallway but
mom nabbed me while I was waiting on
the elevator, and yes, he made house calls
and I hid from him there, too.” Dr. Cornell even gave out the little glass bottles
after he used the serum for shots. Ann
noted that she could still call to mind the
old black bag and how interesting all the
bottles looked to her. She also remembered Dr. Cornell’s Karmann Ghia.
Dr. Howard A. Kinnaman delivered
William and he was William’s doctor
until he retired. “I remember he had a
mounted blue marlin on the wall of his
office in the Ben Hur building. He made
house calls because I remember he laid
me on the dining room table and lanced
my ear drums so they would drain.”
Ginny had a hilarious short story about
Dr. K. “He stitched up my eye from a
skating rink accident when I was four and
I told him a smutty joke that I had heard
my Dad tell. He told my dad that he had
a little comedian but I got in trouble anyway!” Alan gave Dr. K’s office as near
the Journal-Review building and that he
remembers the big fish but thought it was
a muskie that the doc called “Flossie!”
Kevin’s mother always reminded him that
he was delivered by a John Hopkins man.
Terri said Dr. Norman Wong didn’t
make house calls but had Saturday office
hours and that the first shot she could remember getting was a smallpox vaccine.
Judy’s delivery doctor was Dr. Keith
Baird and he is so sadly missed. Imagine most of you know that Dr. Baird left
Wabash to join the Army in the Korean
war, but returned and
finished in the class of
1956. IU Med School,
practice in C’ville with
Dr. Jess Burks, then on
to Texas with NASA,
including serving as the
Apollo 13 physician.
Dr. Millis was mentioned by a couple, but
I’m not sure which one,
I assume Sam. In one
story, he even pickedup a gal, put her over
his shoulders and took
her on his morning hospital rounds for an hour
every morning after her
appendix was removed
– “I was the only kid in
the hospital at the time
for several weeks.”
Roxanne said that
Dr. Strong (Straun? I
imagine this is Dr.
Walter Lee Straughn, a
third-generation Montgomery County physician) came out of retirement to deliver her in
his own house because
the hospital was in use.
He had promised her
mother to deliver her
children. “He lived on
the northwest corner of
Main and Morgan.”
