Author Information

William H. H. Polhamus was the son of Albert Polhamus and Lucy E.A. Delano, born August 5, 1843, in Sodus, New York. He had six brothers and five sisters. He served in the Ohio 2nd Volunteer Cavalry from 1861-1865 during the Civil War. He was captured in November 1864 and sent to Libby prison. But as a non-commissioned officer, he was sent a few blocks away to Pemberton prison. After the war, he became an attorney employed by the Soldiers Relief Commission. He set up his law practice in 1887. He was also very active in the Grand Army of the Republic.He married Olive Jane Bauder. The couple had five children. He died on May 22, 1919, at the age of 75 from a skull fracture due to an accidental fall. I love history. I thought my career path was to teach history and coach football. However, it took a different turn. Now in retirement, I went back to my passion for history in putting together this work.I graduated from Cleveland State University. From there, on to graduate school in pharmacology and medical school at Case Western Reserve University. Then, off to Duke University for a residency/chief residency in pediatrics followed by a fellowship in allergy/immunology. Much later, it was back to school for my master's in public health at the Indiana University School of Medicine. I was the director of Pediatric Allergy Clinical Services at Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, then on to Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis to establish an allergy program. I ended my medical career in a private practice opportunity in Columbus, Indiana. I have been married to my loving wife, Linda, for fifty-two years. We have three children, Bethany, Brandon, and Eric; and five grandchildren, Stella, Miles, Calvin, Anna, and Margaux.
