Warren Coleman, M. D. In medical circles of Miami county there are no names better known than that of Coleman, three generations of this family having been represented by medical men of skill and distinction at Troy. The present representative of the name in this profession is Dr. Warren Coleman, who has gained an assured place among the learned and capable practitioners of the art in this part of the Miami Valley, and who is also widely and prominently known in Masonic circles. Warren Coleman was born at Troy, Ohio, September 22, 1865, a son of Horace and Mary L. (Aldrich) Coleman, and a grandson of Asa Coleman. The well known and honored family which bears this name was founded at Troy in 1810 by Dr. Asa Coleman, one of the earliest of Miami county's physicians, who followed his calling after the style of the old- time country physician, traveling many miles, through all kinds of weather, in visiting the bedsides of his patients, located all over the surrounding country. This much loved old physician was succeeded by his son, Dr. Horace Coleman, who practiced throughout his life at Troy, his birthplace, where he also became widely known and greatly esteemed both for his professional qualities and by reason of his sound integrity and stable citizenship. Dr. Horace and Mary L. (Aldrich) Coleman were the parents of six children: Horace, who is deceased; Edward, whose home is in the West; two sons who died in infancy; Warren; Tessie, and Mrs. Rebe McKimme. After attending the graded and high schools of Troy, Warren Coleman entered upon his medical studies at the Ohio Medical College, Cincinnati, from which he was graduated with the class of 1888. He began the practice of his profession at Logansport, Ind., where he remained for one year, then returning to Troy, where he has since been in the enjoyment of a professional patronage that has increased steadily in importance and emoluments with the passing of the years. During the past nine years he has maintained a private hospital at Troy. He was conscription board surgeon for Miami county during the war period and in various other ways assisted the Government in carrying out its policies to secure aid for our fighting forces. Doctor Coleman is prominent in Masonry, belonging to all Masonic bodies and being past eminent commander of Coleman Commandery, Troy. He likewise holds membership in the local lodge of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks and is identified with the Rotary Club. In 1901 he married Frances, daughter of E. F. Rinehart, of Troy.
