• Notes

  BIOGRAPHY: http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~harringtonfamilies/AllenFLatta.htm Allen Forest Latta taught school for awhile to make money for medical school. His invitation to his graduation from the Louisville Medical College states, "The graduation class of the Louisville Medical College requests your presence at the Commencement Exercises, Friday, March 8th, 1895, at 2 o'clock, Masonic Temple." Of the forty graduates listed Allen Forest was the only one from Ohio. The invitation still has its blue ribbon and parchment cover. Following graduation Doc set up practice in Graysville. Later he and his first wife Mary (Neuhart) Latta divorced. The Graysville practice was given to his son Heber and Mary stayed with him (the office being a small building next to the house). Following the divorce, Allen Forest set up another practice in Caldwell. In l930 Doc lived in Cumberland, and in l934 in Graysville. He died suddenly of a heart attack and is buried at the Latta plot in the Calais cemetery.
