GalltionOH Inquirer 3/17/1947:
Dr. Herbert W. Todd, a prominent physician and surgeon in Galion for 56 years, died at one o'clock this morning at Lee Memorial hospital in Fort Myers, Fla., where he had undergone an abdominal operation a week ago Saturday. He entered the hospital the Thursday before for observation. Dr. Todd left Galion the latter part of January on a southern trip and had first gone to Biloxi, Miss., and then to Boccogrande, Fla., near Fort Myers, where he was staying when he was taken ill. His death followed a stroke.
Dr. Todd was born at Alliance, August 15, 1867, a son of William and Charlotte Lawson Todd, natives of West Alexander, Pa. The family moved to Crestline where Dr. Todd attended school, studied medicine under the late Dr. W. P. Bennett and graduated in medicine from the Fort Wayne, Ind. medical school in 1891, locating the same year in Galion in the practice of his profession.
Outstanding in his profession Dr. Todd also took an active part in the musical and industrial life of Galion. Coming from a musically talented family, for many years he headed Todd's band, playing lead cornet and was noted as a cornet soloist. Dr. Todd traveled extensively, having made several world tours.
He had contributed largely to Galion's industrial growth with his investments in starting a number of its factories. At the time of his death he was a director of the First National Bank, the U.S. Steel Grave Vault company, the Eagle Crusher company, and the Cartwright Asphalt Equipment company. For a number of years he was president of the Schul Brothers company of Crestline.
His first marriage was to Leo Long, of Angola, Ind., prominent as a singer, who died November 5, 1911. His second marriage was on Dec. 31, 1919, to Magdalena Elizabeth Knierim, superintendent of nurses at the Good Samaritan hospital. Her death occurred January 2, 1945. He is survived by his sister, Bessie Todd, well known music teacher. Three brothers, Clarence, Joseph, and Harold are deceased.
Dr. Todd was a member of the Knights Templar at Mansfield, and a member of the Galion Masonic bodies, both Blue Lodge and Chapter since 1895. He was also a member of the Crawford county medical society and Galion Lodge 1191, B.P.O.E.
He was also a member of the Ohio State Medical society and the American Railway Surgeon's association having served as surgeon for the Erie railroad for a number of years. His residence and office was at 125 North Market Street.
The body will leave Fort Myers tonight accompanied by F. D. Weber who had been called to Fort Myers when the doctor was first stricken. Funeral arrangements in charge of the Snyder funeral home are incomplete, but it is announced that Rev. R. R. Elliker, pastor of the First Reformed church, will be in charge of the services and interment will be made in Fairview cemetery. [Ref: GalltionOH Inquirer 3/17/1947]
