Description

Augustus G. Holloway studied medicine at Western Reserve College and was practicing medicine in Allen County, Ohio, by the 1850s. During the last two years of the Civil War he served as a physician in various units of the Ohio militia. After the war he returned home and resumed his medical practice. Among his papers in the library is a notebook containing culinary and medical recipes. The book was presumably compiled by Dr. Holloway or by a member of his family.
