From the book "HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY, COUNTIES OF WHITE AND PULASKI INDIANA. Historical and Biographical. Illustrated. Chicago; F. A. Battey & CO., Publishers. 1883."
page 275, Prairie Township, White County, Indiana
"DR. A. P. MENDENHALL, a native of Montgomery County, Indiana, was born May 7, 1839, and is the fifth of the nine children born to DAVID and MARY A. (PERKINS) MENDENHALL, who were natives of North Carolina and Ohio respectively. The father, who was a farmer, died in Illinois about January 1881, but the mother is still living in the said State, in comparatively good health at the age of seventy-three. When about seven years of age, our subject was removed by his parents to the Wea Plains, where he attended the Farmers' Institute, and some four or five years later was taken to Osawatomie, Kansas, where he resided four years, attending school in a private family, there being no schoolhouse within fifty miles; he was then taken to Vermillion County, Illinois, where he attended the Vermillion Seminary four or five years; thence he moved to Iroquois, Illinois, taught school for six winters, and began the study of medicine; in 1870 and 1871, first attended lectures at the Rush Medical College at Chicago, and then came to Brookston, spent the summer in study, and then returned to Chicago, but arrived the night of the great fire, which swept away the college, causing him to seek the Cincinnati Medical College, from which he graduated in March 1873, and came back to Brookston, where he has ever since been engaged in successful practice. January 1, 1876, he married MISS ALICE, daughter of JAMES C. and CLARINDA GRESS. MRS. MENDENHALL became the mother of two children - NELLA and C. ALICE - and died July 21, 1878."
