Dr. Replogle, who is now successfully engaged in the practice of medicine and surgery in Lightsville, Darke county, Ohio, was born near that place, September 9, 1854, a son of Jacob and Rebecca (Jones) Replogle, also natives of this state, the former born in Germantown, Montgomery county, June 30, 1821, the latter in Butler county, in 1825. The Doctor's paternal grandfather was Philip Replogle, who came to Ohio from Pennsylvania when a young man and settled in Germantown. The father became a successful farmer of Mississinawa township, Darke county. In his family were fourteen children, of whom twelve--five sons and seven daughters--are still living, are married and with one exception have children of their own.

The Doctor grew to manhood upon the home farm and received a good practical education in the common schools, which well fitted him for teaching, a profession which he successfully followed at intervals from 1878 to 1891. In the meantime he attended the Miami Medical College at Cincinnati, where he was graduated in 1895, with the degree of M. D., and was first engaged in practice at Salem, Indiana, but in 1896 he located in Lightsville, Ohio, where he is the only physician engaged in regular practice. His skill and ability soon won him a liberal patronage,, and he is now meeting with most excellent success. Dr. Replogle was married, November 1, 1883, to Miss Anna Belle Weaver, a native of Darke county and a daughter of Elijah and Sarah (Elmore) Weaver, both deceased. She is one of a family of six children, four sons and two daughters.
