PLANK, Dr. D. A.

Dr. D. A. Plank, one of the most prominent physicians of the county, died at his home in St. Clairsville on Saturday, April 12. The deceased was born near Churchtown, Cumberland county, on June 13, 1838. His early life was spent on his father's farm and he subsequently worked in the latter's wheel factory at Churchtown. In 1849, when the gold fever was raging throughout the country, he went to Pike's Peak, Col., to try his fortune; but, becoming discouraged, he sold out his claim and returned home. At the outbreak of the civil war in 1861 he enlisted in Company H, Seventh regiment Pennsylvania volunteer corps, from which he was honorably discharged on account of wounds received in the first battle of Bull Run. He suffered the loss of a finger and virtually the use of his left hand. He attended Jefferson Medical college, Philadelphia, graduating therefrom in 1865. He went to St. Clairsville in the spring of that year and practiced his profession there until the final summons came. In 1865 Dr. Plank was united in marriage to Miss Ella S. Swisher, of Mechanicsburg. Two children blessed this union - Dr. Raymond A. Plank, who died on March 27, 1896, and Carl W. Plank, who lives in Philadelphia and represents the H. K. Mulford company, wholesale druggists, of that city. Mrs. Plank also survives her husband. Dr. Plank has been president of the Bedford County Medical society, a school director and secretary of the board, and has held various other offices. He belonged to the Grand Army of the Republic and was a member of the Reformed church for many years. The funeral services were held Tuesday morning in the Reformed church at St. Clairsville,  Rev. A. F. Nace, the pastor, and Rev. E. E. Parson, of the Lutheran church, officiating. Interment was made in the cemetery nearby. One of the largest concourses ever assembled at St. Clairsville on a similar occasion gathered at the church to pay their last tribute to the honored dead.
