C.M. Boger, M.D., who since the fall of 1888 has been established in the practice of medicine at Parkersburg, was born in 1861, at Lebanon, Pennsylvania, and is a son of Prof. Cyrus Boger, who was then principal of the Lebanon High School. The mother of Dr. Boger was a daughter of Hugh Maxwell who was a prominent (Pennsylvania) newspaper man. Dr. Boger's interest in medicine was first aroused in boyhood, when he became a clerk and student with the now retired drug firm of Bullock & Crenshaw, of Philadelphia. In 1882 he graduated from the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, and followed the drug business until he took up the study of medicine. In the spring of 1888 he graduated from Hahnemann Medical College of Philadelphia, settling in Parkersburg in the succeeding fall. There he met with eminent success. He is a member of the International Hahnemann Association of which he was elected vice-president of Niagara Falls and served in 1898 at the meeting at Atlantic City, where he was elected for the next meeting, which will take place at Boston, Massachusetts, in June, 1903. He was urged for the presidency, but declined the honor. Dr. Boger is most highly regarded in the profession, and is a valued member of the West Virginia Homeopathic Society and has served as its president; and of the Ohio Valley Homeopathic Society. Mrs. Dr. Boger was formerly a Miss Forrester, who was born in Washington County, Pennsylvania, and five children have been added to the family, three of whom attend school. The family residence is near Dudleyville, while the Doctor is professionally located at No. 225 7th street, Parkersburg. [Richmond, George, Men of West Virginia Vol. II, Biographical Pub. Co.
