Biography:
ABIJAH W. KANOUSE, M. D., dean of the medical profession of Appleton, Wisconsin, who has been engaged in practice in that city for thirty-one consecutive years, was born in Washtenaw county, Michigan, August 24, 1845, a son of Elijah D. and Sarah (Wood) Kanouse. Elijah D. Kanouse was born August 28, 1820, in New Jersey, and died October 6, 1908, and his wife was born in Danbury, Connecticut, October 16, 1821, and died June 8, 1900. The grandfather of Abijah W., Rev. John George Kanouse, was born in Morris county, New Jersey, February 10, 1800, and his father, Jacob, was born in Wittenberg, Germany, August 12, 1733. He came to America in 1750, and settled in Morris county, New Jersey, from whence he enlisted in the Revolutionary War. Rev. John George Kanouse, a Presbyterian minister, left New Jersey for Newark, Wayne county, New York, and thence, in 1832, to Washtenaw county, Michigan. In 1844 he located on a wild farm of 300 acres in Dane county, Wisconsin, and there his death occurred when he was seventy years of age, of pneumonia. During his entire life he never received salary for preaching the Gospel. He had a family of eight boys and one girl, all of whom came to Dane county, and at the time of his death. his was the first in his immediate family of over 100 direct descendants. In addition to being a preacher and farmer, John George Kanouse was a doctor, and was one of the earliest converts to homeopathy, his son, Elijah D., studying under his preceptorship, and later becoming a student in a Cleveland college. He returned to Wisconsin and engaged in practice, and at the time of his death, at the age of eighty-nine years, was an authority on the teachings of this school of medicine. He had three children, as follows: Edward M., a veteran of the Civil War, and a homeopathic doctor of wide reputation, who died May 25, 1903, leaving a widow and one son, Robert B. Kanouse; Abijah W.; and John G., a prominent business man of Los Angeles, California . Abijah W. Kanouse attended the common and high schools of his locality, and after taking a preparatory course entered Hahnemann Medical College, Chicago, from which he was graduated in 1873. He practiced in Columbia county, Wisconsin, and later in Grant county, but eventually, in 1880, came to Appleton, where he has been in continuous practice to the present time. He is the oldest practitioner in Appleton, and as he expresses it, "has worked without a vacation" since coming here. Dr. Kanouse has a creditable Civil War record, enlisting in August, 1864, and serving until the close of hostilities. He was the eighth member of his family to become a soldier in the Union cause, and is now a popular comrade of the Grand Army of the Republic. He has been connected with the Masonic fraternity since 1876. Dr. Kanouse entered the medical field well equipped, and he has continued to improve himself by study and observation to the present time. He is known over a large territory, has an extensive general practice, and enjoys the confidence and esteem of the people to a marked degree . In 1879 Dr. Kanouse was married to Mollie Campbell, of Columbus, Wisconsin, a niece of Carl Schurz and a daughter of Benjamin and Ursilla (Jussen) Campbell, and three children have been born to this union: Ralph E., a member of the dental profession of Quincy, Illinois, is married and has two children, Jack and Mary; May, a graduate of Lawrence University, and a wellknown teacher of this section; and Carroll B., a resident of Los Angeles, California .
