physician and surgeon. He began tthe study of medicine as a child, one of his tutors being Dr. Charles Quinedon, "a finely cultured physician from Prussia."
After medical college in Philadelphia, Dr. Miesse headed west on foot with some surgical instruments, medicines and a small amount of money.
In the Spring of 1831, he settled near Lancaster, Ohio. He became known for remarkable cures and delicate surgeries, many written up in medical journals.
