ADAM J. KNAPP is a retired Evansville physician who has given more than thirty-seven years to the routine of his profession and has become one of the leaders in public health work in Southern Indiana.

Doctor Knapp was born in Tuscarora County, Ohio, in October, 1853. His parents, Frederick and Adelaide (Paul) Knapp, came from Germany, his father at the age of sixteen and his mother when a young girl. Frederick Knapp was a merchant and banker in Ohio, and died in 1909, his wife passing away in 1911.

Doctor Knapp was next to the oldest in a family of ten children. He attended public schools and graduated from the medical department of the University of Tennessee in 1893. He at once located in Evansville, where he has carried on the work of his profession ever since. Doctor Knapp was a teacher of successful experience before entering the medical profession, and while teaching he became interested in the problems of the children, particularly those who apparently from some physical or pathological cause had difficulty in making the grades. Shortly after getting established in his practice he accepted the opportunity to render some special service to the schools in the way of making free examinations of public school children for hearing and sight. In that work he had the cooperation of some other Evansville doctors. The chief result of their work was that many pupils with marked poor vision and poor hearing received special treatment. This paved the way for regular and permanent medical inspection and health work in the public schools, Evansville being one of the first progressive cities of the state to institute such a program.

A number of years ago Doctor Knapp, while attending a medical convention in Iowa, was greatly impressed by the discussion and practical demonstration of tubercular cows as the source of human tuberculosis. At that time Evansville was infected with tuberculosis cases, and when he returned to the city he immediately took steps to arouse the medical profession and the public in general to the possibility of the white plague being carried through infected milk. A great deal of praise was given him for his stand in that matter, though the praise was also accompanied by a great deal of criticism. At a meeting held in the Walker Hospital by the county medical association the resolution was adopted asking for the testing of all dairy cows supplying milk to Evansville. The test showed that a great number of cows in the local dairies were tubercular, and in the course of years the campaign has gone on until Evansville was supplied only with milk from tested herds and today Evansville is comparatively free from the scourge of tuberculosis.

Doctor Knapp is a successful physician with an interesting side-line and hobby as a floriculturist. About twenty-seven years ago he began growing peonies, and his hobby has developed into something more than a pastime. He has contributed to making Southern Indiana the greatest center in the United States for the propagation and breeding of peonies and his own farm, comprising 200 acres, is one of the largest commercial peony growing plants in the United States. From his beds he ships thousands of roots annually and also does an immense business in cut flowers. He established his own markets in the principal cities and was a pioneer in the practice of shipping the flowers and buds. On last Mother's Day Doctor Knapp shipped from one of his farms 48,000 dozens of peony blossoms.

Doctor Knapp married in October, 1876, Miss Barbara Wise, of Ohio. They have two children, Bleeker J. and Eva Bleeker, a physician and surgeon, a well-known Evansville specialist, married Eleanor D. and has two children, Mary E. and Eleanor Gordon. The daughter, Eva, is the wife of Doctor Dyer, of Evansville, and has a son, Wallace Knapp Dyer.

DR. GEORGE RICE PECKINPAUGH, a veteran physician, who has given nearly half a century of his lifetime to the task and responsibilities of a doctor of medicine, is a resident of Evansville, and is held in high esteem by prominent members of his profession throughout Southern Indiana.

Doctor Peckinpaugh was born at Alton, Indiana, June 5, 1854. His f.ather, Nicholas Peckinpaugh, who was born at Hardin, Kentucky, in 1808, moved to Indiana when a young man and had business interests that marked him as one of the prominent figures along the Ohio River. He was a member of a group of men who installed the first packet line between Louisville and New Orleans, his boats being the Rainbow and Fawn. He also owned extensive tracts of land, and had a large organization of workers getting out wood to fuel the steamboats along the Ohio River. He died in 1859. Nicholas Peckinpaugh married Eleanor Sheckell, who was born in Hardin County, Kentucky, in 1815 and died in 1890. Of their family of twelve children Doctor Peckinpaugh is the only survivor. He was next to the youngest.

Doctor Peckinpaugh attended grade and high schools at Alton, Indiana, continued his education in the University of Indiana, at Bloomington, and was graduated M. D. from the Ohio Medical College in 1882. Doctor Peckinpaugh from 1881 to 1907 practiced medicine at Mount Vernon, Indiana, and in the latter year moved to Evansville. He has his offices in the Mercantile Bank Building, and for several years his assistant has been his niece, Miss Maud Emmick, a daughter of Capt. John Emmick, who was captain of a company during the Civil war and later a captain on an Ohio River steamboat. Doctor Peckinpaugh married, in October, 1885, Rosemond Alexandra, but she died without children in 1892. Doctor Peckinpaugh is a Republican, a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Masonic fraternity.

Many years ago Doctor Peckinpaugh's interest was aroused in special lines of research and investigation to afford his fellow doctors better means of coping with the treatment of disease, realizing that many of the pharmaceutical preparations prescribed by standard pharmacy were inadequate and ineffective. Doctor Peckinpaugh as a result of many years of study and experiment has introduced what is regarded as a profound if not revolutionary method of treating disease by internal hygiene through the application of a physiological system of plant pharmacy, and his work along that line has been given recognition and credit by many distinguished doctors.

The essential features of his treatment, which he and other doctors have used with particular success in cases of tuberculosis and auto-intoxication, are described in the following paragraph:

It is claimed that the superior merits of this Physiological System of Pharmacy consists in extracting and purifying medical properties of plants in a manner to retain the life principle of resuscitation of weakened organs, to retain the natural antiseptic properties for countering the ferment on which the germs subsist, also to retain food properties rich in ash or organic salts to supply chemical needs of the system in a form to be easily assimilated. Alcohol is not used or required in this system of pharmacy, neither as an extractor, preservative or vehicle. These medicines are preserved by natural antiseptic properties of the life principle of plants They are antiseptic, germicidal and eliminant, the combined effects of which are to promote nutritional functions, such as appetite, digestion and assimilation of food, to help the system generate "medicines" from food, also to counteract, destroy and eliminate poison.

WILIAM NEAL WALDEN, of Evansville, was thoroughly grounded in the fundamentals of the fine arts before he took up what was then a little more than a skilled craft, photography, and he has been one of a group of American photographers who have elevated this medium through the plane of the fine arts.

Mr. Walden, whose studio at Evansville has become famous there and in many states, was born at New Albany, Indiana, March 26, 1861, son of Martin and Amanda Jane (Kepley) Walden. His father was born in Kentucky and his mother in Indiana, and she died in 1914, at the age of seventy-four. Martin Walden was a druggist, and early in the Civil war became a member of the Medical Corps of the Union army and died as a result of exposure. He had two children, Hattie and William N. Hattie married John H. Mason, who was born in Spencer, Indiana, and is now deceased, and Mrs. Mason lives at Columbus, Georgia, with her daughter Ellen, wife of Doctor Baird, a medical specialist there.

William Neal Walden attended grammar and high school at Evansville and in 1886 he went east to New York City and for five years carried on his studios with the Art Students League. After this period of training and apprenticeship he returned to Evansville and established a studio, teaching art classes and for several years he did a great deal of work as a magazine illustrator. It was in 1897 that he turned to photography as his chief medium. Thirty years ago there were very few men who made any profession of photography as an art, and only a few had a vision of the possibilities which have been developed by Stieglitz and a few others. Mr. Walden was one of the first artistic photographers in Indiana, and his work has been given some of the highest awards by the American Photographers Association. He has one of the finest equipped studios in Indiana, and his equipment includes apparatus for the making of motion pictures. Mr. Walden is a Republican, a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, the B. P. O. Elks and the Kiwanis Club. He also belongs to the Chamber of Commerce.
