---

Year of birth 1834; year of marriage 1862. [HVC 1879, 574]
He spent his early years upon the homestead, and received a good common school education. He then entered Allegheny College, Meadville, PA, where he remained for six months; returning to his home he engaged in teaching for the purpose of raising means to prosecute his studies. In 1851, having accu­mulated sufficient means, he attended school at Harrisville, Butler county, where he spent two years. Returning to his home he continued his stud­ies in the Clintonville Academy, and remained in that institution for two years. In 1857 he commenced to study medicine with Doctor John B. Mc­Millan, of Clintonville, and subsequently under Doctors McMillan and Fowler at Harrisville, PA. In the winter of 1865-66 he attended lectures at the Ohio Medical College, and in the latter year formed a part­nership with Doctor J. M. Foster of Clintonville, and commenced the prac­tice of medicine. In 1872-73 he entered Cleveland Medical College and graduated in the latter year. In 1873 he associated himself with Doctor Homer Jackson of Utica, Venango county, which partnership continued five years, and the subsequent five years was a partner of Doctor George Parr of Perrysville, Ohio. After the dissolution of the last partner­ship he continued to practice alone. Doctor Hoffman was an active Republican, and in 1886 was elected burgess of Clintonville, and also was a member of the borough council. [HVC 1890, 997]
