MYRON NILE FORD. The great grandfather of the chairman of the House of Delegates was a native of Maryland and a pioneer settler of Champaign County, Ohio. The father of the subject of this sketch moved to Marion Township, in Allen County, where Nile was born July 5, 1882. The home of young Ford, until his majority, was on his father’s farm on which a stone quarry was located. He assisted in the farm work and in preparing the stone of the quarry for the public highway. His earlier education was received in the township schools and, later, he attended Ohio Northern University at Ada. Thereafter, the young man matriculated at the Scio College of Pharmacy, of which Dr. J. H. Beal was then the dean. On completion of his college work in 1906, Mr. Ford was awarded the first prize for pharmaceutical laboratory work-membership in the AMERICAN PHARMACEUTICAL ASSOCIATION. He returned to his home county and found employment with King Brothers Drug Store in Delphos; later he accepted a position in King and Williams Pharmacy and after completing the years of apprenticeship, qualified as a pharmacist. Here he continued as manufacturing pharmacist until 1912, when he was named as secretary of the Ohio State Board of Pharmacy, which position he holds a t this time. Secretary Ford exhibits a deep interest in everything that pertains to Pharmacy, both in national and state affairs. In 1925-1926 he was honored with the presidency of the National Association Boards of Pharmacy, has been active in committee work of the A. PH.A. and has been secretary and treasurer of the Conference of Pharmaceutical Law Enforcement Officials since it was organized in 1928. Mr. Ford married Miss Goldie Mae Friedline of Delphos in 1913. Mrs. Ford died in 1920 and is survived by a son and daughter. Chairman Ford has been active in both Scottish and York Rite Masonry, is a Knight of Pythias and a member of the Methodist Church. His hobby is enjoying the home with his children, golfing and hunting. 995
