A photographic advertising card from Dr. Joseph C. Kalb, physician & surgeon, Henry, Illinois. 1870's I believe. From the Wright Family CDV Album.
Joseph Claybaugh Kalb was born in Madison, Franklin County, Ohio, June 30, 1831. The 1850 census lists him in the household of his parents, George and Margaret Kalb, who were farmers. Joseph was married on November 22, 1850, to Sophia Cyrena Brown. She was born in April of 1831.
Dr. Kalb graduated from Starling Medical College, Columbus, Ohio, circa 1855. He enlisted October 3, 1861, and became an Assistant Surgeon, commissioned as an officer in Co. S, 40th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He mustered out on January 6, 1863.
The 1870 census finds him as a physician in Henry, Marshall County, Illinois. He owned real estate valued at $300; and personal estate valued at $500. He and his wife Sophia had two children, Clinton, age 17; and Edna, age 13, both born in Ohio.
Dr. Kalb is again listed as a physician in Henry in the 1880 census. His daughter, Edna, age 22, was still a member of his household.
By 1895, Dr. Kalb was living in Canton, McPherson County, Kansas. He is listed there in the 1895 Kansas State Census and in the U.S. Census of 1900, which lists him as physician & surgeon. The 1910 census lists him in the City of McPherson, McPherson County, Kansas. He is still a physician, is now a widower, and is living in a boarding house.
Dr. Joseph Claybaugh Kalb died October 30, 1910, in St. Joseph's Infirmary, Ft. Worth, Texas, of a cerebral hemorrhage. His death certificate lists him as a non-resident.
