GEORGE A. HUNTLEY, M.D., of Copley, Summit county, Ohio, is a native of the Buckeye state and was born in North Bloomfield, Trumbull county, September 11, 1871, the son of Dr. A.O. and Alice (Hawkins) Huntley, the former of whom was born in Medina county in 1845, and the latter in Copley, September 14, 1848, and were the parents of two children, viz: Josephine, who was born in 1868 and is now the wife of Lee Baldwin, of Washington, D.C., and Dr. George A., the subject proper of this biographical notice.
Dr. A.O. Huntley was reared a farmer and educated in the district schools of Medina county as a preparatory course, and then, after a still further preparatory course of medical study, entered the Stirling Medical college of Columbus, Ohio, from which he was graduated after finishing the course, and began practice in Grangerburg, Medina county, but remained there a few years only, when he went to North Bloomfield, Ohio, where he had a most successful practice, which extended over a period of thirty years. Mrs. Alice Huntley, the mother of Dr. George A. Huntley, is a daughter of George W. and Matilda (Hubbard) Hawkins, the former of whom was the first white child born in Copley, the date being December 29, 1815. In January, 1840, Mr. Hawkins married Miss Hubbard, who was born in 1811, a daughter of Reuben Hubbard, and this union resulted in the birth of five children, viz: Adelia, who died in infancy; Eliza, born June 4, 1845 -- died November 18, 1871; Alice C., mother of subject; George W., born September 2, 1851 -- died November 13, 1876, and Eugene R., born June 28, 1854. Mrs Hawkins was called away, in the faith of the Methodist Episcopal church, December 5, 1886, and Mr. Hawkins died May 21, 1896. In politics, the latter was a democrat.
Dr. George A. Huntley, after receiving the usual common-school education, graduated from the high school of North Bloomfield, Ohio, in 1890, then passed two years in Hiram College, and next entered the Western Reserve Medical college at Cleveland, from which he was graduated in 1895 with the degree of M.D., and the same year entered upon the practice of his profession in Copley Center, where he has become very popular and has met with unequivocal success.
In May, 1894, Dr. Huntley was united in marriage with Miss Mary Clapp, who was born in 1871, a daughter of Robert and Eliza Clapp, who are the parents of seven children, viz: Robert G., Frederick I., Isaac, Emily (wife of Frank Doughty, of Warren, Ohio), Mary (Mrs. Huntley, Albert and John. The marriage of Dr. Huntley and wife has been blessed with one child -- Francis Eugene, born November 21, 1896. The parents are members of the Disciples' church, and in politics the doctor is a strong republican.
