Ordeman, Sarah Catherine [Smeltzer] - 1898

Frederick A. Ordeman.  The success which has attended the efforts of Mr. Ordeman is the result of his determination of will and energy of disposition.  Starting out for himself with limited means, he followed agricultural pursuits so successfully that he is now the owner of six hundred and thirty-nine acres, lying in Urbana District, Frederick County, the management of which he still superintends.  He is also the owner and proprietor of a general store at Park Mills, which he opened in 1891 and has since conducted; and besides this owns a large steam sawmill near the village.

Born in 1858 in the town where he still makes his home, Mr. Ordeman is the son of Capt. H. D. and Catherine (Thomas) Ordeman, the former a native of Germany, the latter of France.  He was one of seven children, the others being John, Charles, Georgiana, Daniel T.; Mary C., wife of John E. Price; and Emma C., Mrs. Eugene Hughes.  His father, who began as a sailor on the high seas at the age of nineteen, finally settled in America, and in 1856 abandoned a seafaring life, after having followed the water on merchant vessels for thirty-two years.  He had made his home in Baltimore for some time before leaving the sea, but in 1856 he removed from there to Park Mills and began to operate a sawmill and distillery.  In 1862 he sold the mill, but continued to run the distillery for some time afterward.  Fraternally he was connected with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.  He died in 1884, when he was seventy-two years of age.

In the district schools and the Frederick high school our subject received a fair education.  On attaining his majority he started out in life for himself, selecting for his occupation the work of a farmer.  He is now the owner of three farms, aggregating, as before stated, six hundred and thirty-nine acres, but all joining in one unbroken tract.  In 1879 he was united in marriage with Miss Sarah C. Smeltzer, of Springfield, Ohio, an estimable lady, who shares with him in the regard of the people of the village and district.  A Democrat in politics he was chosen to serve as postmaster at Park Mills under President Cleveland, and has at different times filled minor offices, serving in every capacity with credit to himself.  He has made a number of improvements upon his farms, which are among the best and most highly cultivated for miles around.  As a farmer he was progressive, as a citizen he favors all progressive projects, and as a merchant he is reliable and energetic.

D., who is one of the well-known physicians of Boonsboro, has built up a good practice in his chosen profession at this place and has gained the esteem of all as a progressive citizen and skillful physician.  He was born in the town where he now resides, August 6, 1860, and is a son of Otho B. and Anna (Thomas) Smith.  The family traces its lineage to Ireland, whence the first of its representatives in America emigrated in an early day and settled at Clear Spring, Maryland.

The doctor's grandfather, himself a successful physician, was Otho J. Smith, M. D., a native of Clear Spring and the first physician to settle in Boonsboro, where he became a leading citizen.  His death occurred in 1868, when he was fifty-nine years of age.  He is remembered as one of the pioneer residents of this village, a man who accomplished much for the benefit of the town and the upbuilding of its material resources.  His son, Otho B., was born in Boonsboro and has been a life-long resident of the town, where he still resides, being now sixty years of age.  Farming has been his occupation and he has become a large land owner, having a number of tracts that are valuable and well improved.  His wife, who was a daughter of Jacob Thomas, has also spent her entire life in Boonsboro, and is a lady of great worth of character and irreproachable life.  Their only child is the subject of this sketch.

The education of our subject was thorough, for it was the ambition of his parents to fit him for a high position in life.  He received his primary education in the public schools and later was a student in Georgetown University, where his literary education was completed.  In 1884 he graduated from the University of Virginia, receiving the degree of M. D.  With a desire to increase his knowledge of therapeutics by experience, he entered Bellevue Hospital in New York, and made a careful study of the many forms of disease that came beneath his observation there.  On completing his studies there in 1886, he was given a certificate.  During the same year he began to practice his profession, returning to his native town, where he as since been a general practitioner, having built up a profitable and increasing practice.  In religious belief he is a Catholic.  He devotes himself wholly to his profession, and continues his studies of the science, in order to keep fully abreast with the times.
