Dr. Daniel Clarke is a graduate of Harvard University, class of 1839, M. M. S. He came to this county in 1840, and settled in the township of Grand Blanc. He removed to Flint in 1844, but remained only until 1845, when he returned to Massachusetts. In 1847 he again located in Flint, where he has since remained in extensive practice. He is now the senior physician of the county of Genesee.
Dr. Richardson came to Flint about 1837. Ile removed West soon after 1840, and is now (or was recently) prac- ticing in Greenville, Montcalm Co., Mich.
Dr. H. C. Fairbank-a native of Wayne County, N. Y., and a graduate of the Willoughby University and of the Western Reserve College, at Cleveland, Ohio-commenced practice in the village of Flint, with Dr. R. D. Lamond, in the spring of 1847. In the following year he removed to Grand Blanc, and entered practice there with the veteran Dr. King. This business connectiou continued for oue and a half years, when Dr. King retired to his farm. Dr. Fair- bank remained in Grand Blanc till November, 1864, when he removed to Flint. During the sixteen years of his practice in the former place his ride extended through six townships, of which Grand Blanc was the centre. He is still located in Flint, with an equally extensive practice.
Dr. Elijah Drake settled in Flint before 1840, and re- mained here in practice until his death in 1875. He was a brother of Hon. Thomas J. Drake, and of Morgan L. Drake, of Pontiae.
Dr. De Laskie Miller came to Flint from Lapeer (where he had previously practiced) in 1845. After seven years of successful practice here, he removed to Chicago. Sub- sequently he was appointed professor of obstetrics in the Rush Medical College, which position he still holds.
Dr. John Willet, a graduate of Geneva (N. Y.) Medical College, came to Flint in 1846, and remained constantly in practice here until his appointment as surgeon in the Union army, in August, 1862. Upon his return from the service he retired from general practice, and engaged in the drug business. He has been elected representative in the State Legislature, and is now (1879) serving in his second term in that office.
Dr. Samuel W. Pattison came to Dibbleville (now Fen- tou) in June, 1836. After practicing there for a few years he removed to Ypsilanti, where he is still living. Dr.
# It has been stated in a public address that Dr. Hoyes settled here in 1836, but as his name is found signed to a memorial to Congress in favor of the Smith heirs to the Indian Reservation, -which paper is dated " Flint River, Sept. 28, 1835,"-it seems pretty certain that he came as early as that year.

THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.
Pattison was the first physician in Fenton, and the only regular one in that township for several years.
Dr. John C. Gallup, a graduate of the medical school at Pittsfield, Mass., came to Fentonville about 1840, and sne- ceeded to the practice of Dr. Pattison upon the removal of the latter to Ypsilanti. Dr. Gallup remained in Feu- tonville until about 1851, when he moved to Palmyra, N. Y. From that place he returned to Michigan, and was located for a short time at Grand Rapids, but soon after went to Clinton, N. Y., where he became president of the Hongh- ton Female Seminary,-a position which he still holds.
Dr. Thomas Steere was in Fentonville as early as 1838. He had followed the business of druggist, and was not a gradnate of any medical school, but, impelled by the sear- city of physicians in this region at that time, he commeneed the practice of medicine, and continued in it with fair sue- cess and enjoying the respeet of the people until his death, which occurred about 1852.
Dr. Knight was located at Long Lake, in the town of Fenton, and continued in practice there from about 1849 until 1875 or 1876, when he moved to Petoskey, Mich.
Dr. Isaac Wixom came to Genesee County in 1844, and settled in the township of Argentine. After a quarter of a century of successful practice there and in adjoining counties, he removed to Fenton in 1869, where he is still practicing at the advanced age of seventy-six years. Dr. Wixom received his diploma at Penn Yan, Yates Co., N. Y., in 1824, practiced his profession for four years in Steuben Co., N. Y., removed in 1829 to Oakland Co., Mich., where he remained until his removal to Genesee County. As a surgeon he has enjoyed a high reputation for many years, and has been called on difficult cases in other counties of this and adjoining States. During the war of the Rebel- lion he was commissioned surgeon of the 16th Michigan Infantry, and served with that regiment in the field for two years. Besides the practice of his profession, Dr. Wixom has in past years been largely engaged in farming, milling, and mercantile business, and has served in both houses of the Michigan Legislature.
Dr. Elbridge G. Gale, a native of Massachusetts, and a graduate of the medical college at Castleton, Vt., came to Davisonville in November, 1844. He practiced there with success until 1851, after which he became engaged in poli- tics, and was elected to the Legislature for several terms (serving in both houses) and was a delegate to the consti- tutional convention of 1850. Soon after this he entirely withdrew from the practice of medicine, and devoted most of his time to farming and sheep-raising. He still owns his farm in Atlas, but resides in Vermont. His successor in practice, in Atlas, was Dr. Murray.
Dr. Joseph W. Graham cause from Owasso to Fenton- ville in 1846, and remained there in practice till about 1851, when he removed to Flint. About two years later he left Flint and located in New Albany, Ind., from which place he afterwards removed to Chicago, and died there.
Dr. William B. Cole came to Fentonville about 1850. After a few years he retired from practice, and held several township offices. He finally removed to Pontiac, Oakland Co., where, in September, 1871, he purchased a half-in- terest in the Pontiac Jacksonian from the widow of its 8
former proprietor, D. H. Solis. He soon after became sole proprietor of the paper ; but in May, 1872, sold an interest to Mr. Sheridan, and in the fall of the same year the firm moved the office and material to Ludington, Mich., where it became the Ludington Appeal. Dr. Cole still resides there, and publishes his paper in the interest of the " Green- back" party.
Dr. Joseph Eastman commeneed the practice of medi- eine at Goodrich in 1846. Afterwards he moved upon a farm in Davison township, and still later removed to the city of Flint, where he died in 1878.
Dr. Miller settled as a physician in Flushing about 1842. After many years' practice there he removed to Springfield, Oakland Co., from which place he removed to Wenona, Mich.
In the above mention of the earlier physicians in the county of Genesee, it has been the intention to include those who commeneed practice here down to the year 1850. Of most of those who came later the names will be found in the membership lists of the medical societies of the county.
GENESEE COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY .*
This society-the first medical association in Genesee County-was organized in the winter of 1841-42. Dr. G. W. Fish, in his address at the funeral of Dr. John W. King, in November, 1876 (from which an extraet has been given above), mentioned the formation of the old society as follows :
" About thirty-five years ago, four physicians met in an office in the little village of Flint, and, after much delibera- tion and consultation, organized the first medical society ever formed in this part of the State. They were all young men, but recently from the schools, natives of the State of New York, and had all a common Alma Mater,-the old Fairfield Medical College, in Herkimer Co., N. Y. Of those who that day attached their signatures to the consti- tution and by-laws of the first Genesee County Medical Society, one, Dr. John A. Hoyes, has been dead almost a score of years ; another, Dr. Robert D. Lamond, died some five years since; the third, Dr. John W. King, lies in his coffin, and will soon be borne by us to his last resting-place ; and the fourth is he who now addresses you."
Dr. Fish was mistaken in supposing that this was " the first medical society ever formed in this part of the State," for Dr. Lamond, a member of this, had also been a mem- ber, and the secretary, of the Oakland County Medical So- ciety in 1835, and Dr. Samuel W. Pattison, of Fentonville, was admitted to membership in the Oakland Society, in 1838 ; but in other particulars the statement was, of course, correct.
In a letter recently written by Dr. Fish, from Tunis, Africa, where he at present holds the office of United States consul, he speaks of the organization and existence of this old society as follows :
* In a historical sketch of the city of Fliat, published recently in some of tho newspapers, it is stated that the name of this old organ- ization was " The Flint Medical Association." That this is incorrect is proved by an advertisement found in the Gencsee Republican of tho year 1845, in which Dr. (cerge W. Fish, as secretary, called the an- nual meeting of the Genesee County Melical Society, to be held at the court-house in Flint.

HISTORY OF GENESEE COUNTY, MICHIGAN.
" We sent to Detroit and to Pontiac for copies of the constitution and by-laws of their respective medical societies, and framed one suited to our wishes. My impression is that Dr. Hoyes was the first president, and Dr. Lamond secretary. I also think that the first annual meeting was held at Flint, the following June, at which meeting Drs. Steere and Gallup, of Fentonville, and Dr. Baldwin, of Atlas, became members, and perhaps Dr. Miller, of Flash- ing, may have joined at that time, or soon after. I may be mistaken one year in the date of the organization, but l think I am right. The society remained in active operation for many years, until I went South. I believe all the reg- ular bred physicians who came into the county became members of the society, besides some from Lapeer, Shia- wassee, and Saginaw Counties."
THE GENESEE COUNTY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.
On Saturday, May 26, 1866, a number of physicians of Genesee County held a preliminary meeting at the Irving House, in Flint, to take measures for the formation of a county medical society. R. D. Lamond was chosen chair- man, and J. B. F. Curtis secretary, of the meeting. A. B. Chapin, M. F. Baldwin, and C. W. Tyler were chosen as a committee to draft a constitution and by-laws, and S. M. Axford, C. V. Tyler, S. Lathrop, L. N. Beagle, A. B. Chapin, M. F. Baldwin, and J. B. F. Curtis were chosen delegates to the State Medical Convention, to be held at Detroit, on the 5th of June next following. The meeting then adjourned to July 14th. At the adjourned meeting, the committee reported a constitution, which was adopted and signed by the physicians present, viz. : R. D. Lamond, Flint ; H. C. Fairbank, Flint ; A. B. Chapin, Flint; S. M. Axford, Flint ; James B. F. Curtis, Flint ; S. Lathrop, Pine Run ; M. F. Baldwin, Genesce; Lewis S. Pilcher, Clayton.

HOMEOPATHY IN GENESEE.
The pioneer homoeopathic physician in Genesce County is Dr. I. N. Eldridge, who is now (1879) in the twenty- ninth year of his practice in the city of Flint. He is a graduate of the Homeopathic Medical Colleges of New York and of Cleveland, Ohio, and one of the oldest homeopathic practitioners in the State. In 1847 he was one of the eight physicians (that number embracing all of the homeopathic school who were then in practice in the State) present at the formation of the first Michigan Insti- tute of Homœopathy, and its first vice-president ; was also the first president of the " Homoeopathic Medical Society of the State of Michigan," and held the offices of secretary and treasurer in that society for eight years until 1877; and has been since June, 1873, a member of the American Institute of Homeopathy. He came to Michigan from Livingston County, N. Y., in 1847, and located at Ann Arbor. Ile first practiced in Flint in 1850, and in the following year settled here permanently. " His practice in Flint" (says " Cleaves' Biographical Cyclopedia") " became so extensive as to demand a coadjutor, and in Dr. E. F. Olds, whom he had converted from allopathy, he found an associate for a short period." Dr. Olds after a short stay in Flint removed to South Lyon, Oakland Co., and was afterwards located at Howell, Livingston Co., and at several other places in the State. He is now in Philadel- phia, Pa., whether in practice or not is not known.
Dr. William S. Cornelius came to Flint not long after Dr. Eldridge. He removed after a few years' practice, and is now in Wilmington, Del. About the same time eame
Dr. Lewis Taylor, who located in Finshing. Dr. Charles M. Putnam established in Flint some fifteen years ago. Dr. C. S. Eldridge practiced in Flint in 1865. Dr. J. G. Malcolm came to Flint about 1866, remained a number of years, and removed to Memphis, Tenn. Dr. A. J. Adams commenced practice in Flint about 1873. The list of homeopathic physicians in Genesee County as given in the "Annual [homoeopathic] Directory" for 1878, is as follows : I. N. Eldridge, C. M. Putnam, A. J. Adams, C. A. Hughes, M. E. Hughes, Flint ; Lewis Taylor, Flushing; R. E. Knapp, Fenton ; A. Austin, Argentine; J. Parks, Gaines.
EARLY LAWYERS IN THE COUNTY.
The first resident attorney in Genesee County was Philip H. McOmber. He came from Saratoga Co., N. Y., settled in Groveland, Oakland Co., about 1832, was ad- mitted to practice in the Oakland County courts, and removed to this county in 1834, loeating in what is now the township of Fenton. "Enterprising and talented as a lawyer" (wrote the Hon. William M. Fenton of him), "he soon became widely and favorably known. My recollec- tion of him is as a lawyer, being present at nearly every snit before justices of the peace in Genesee, Oakland, Livings- ton, and Shiawassce Counties, adjacent to the village [Fen- tonville]. His hair was white, his faec rubicund and jolly, and his talents of a superior order." Mr. MeOmber was the first prosecuting attorney of Genesce County. He not only stood high as a lawyer, but was most highly estcemed as an honest and public-spirited citizen and a hospitable gentleman. He died about 1844.
Thomas J. Drake, who had previously been engaged in the practice of the law for about ten years at Pontiac, came in 1836 to Flint, where he continued the practice of his profession for several years, but afterwards returned to Pontiac, where he died April 20, 1875. Judge Baldwin, of the sixth circuit, said of Mr. Drake, " He was con- nected as counsel with most of the leading cases in North- ern Michigan during a long term of years, and was always happy and in his element when advocating the interests of the people." He was elected to the State Senate from Gencsec County, holding that office from 1839 to 1842 ; and during his long professional career held many other high offices, among which was that of chief-justice of the United States Court in Utah, to which he was appointed by President Lincoln in 1864. Judge Drake's associate justice in Utah said of him, " When once the judge made up his mind that he was right, no power under heaven could swerve him from the path of duty." And this esti- mate of his character was fully concurred in by all who intimately and perfectly knew him.
John Bartow was another carly attorney of the county, having located at Flint in the spring of 1836. He was soon after appointed register in the land office, and was eleeted to the State Senate in 1837. He enjoyed a high reputation as a lawyer, and was engaged on nearly every case of importance before the courts during the years of his praetice here.
Edward H. Thomson was a student in the office of the Hon. Millard Fillmore, afterwards President of the United States. Mr. Thomson was admitted to practice in the State

of New York in 1832, and came to the township of Atlas in 1837, but removed to Flint in the following year, and commenced practice there in partnership with John Bartow. He was proseenting attorney of Genesee in 1845-16, and was elected to the State Senate for the years 1848 and 1849. He has also served in the lower House, and filled many other important offices. He still resides in the city of Flint, and is now the senior lawyer of Genesee County.
James Birdsall came to practice the profession of the law in Flint in 1839. He was a native of Chenango Co., N. Y., where he was a banker, politician, extensive lumberman on the Snsquehanna River, President of the Norwich Bank, and had been a member of the lower House of Congress. He died in Flint, July 20, 1856, aged seventy-three years.
Artemas Thayer was admitted to the bar in 1839, and in November of that year established himself in practice in Flint. In later years he has been a very extensive owner aud dealer in real estate. He is still residing in Flint, aud is among the oldest lawyers of the county, though not now in practice.
John S. Goodrich was admitted to practice in Oakland County in November, 1840. He afterwards removed to the township of Atlas, and practiced as a lawyer in Genesee County until his death, which ocenrred in 1851. He had been elected circuit judge in that year, but death prevented his assuming the duties of the office. Mr. Goodrich is mentioned as having been "rather ungainly in personal appearance, painfully awkward in manner, but possessed of most wonderful powers of memory, and was in fact a library in himself." It is said that he read " Hume's History of England" through in forty-eight hours, and from that single rapid perusal could give every important event there re- corded, with its date. Ilis residence in Genesee was at Goodrich, a village to which his family gave its name.
William F. Mosely was an early attorney at Fentonville. He had been previously a lawyer in Oakland County, hav- ing been admitted to practice there in 1825, and had filled the offices of prosecuting attorney and probate judge of that county. In 1841 he filled the office of prosecuting attorney of Genesee County. He afterwards removed to Shiawassee County, where he died in 1860.
William M. Fenton came to Fentonville (then Dibble- ville) as a merchant in the year 1837. Here he prosecuted the study of the law, and was admitted to the bar in 1842. In 1846 he was elected to the State Senate. In 1848 he was elected lieutenant-governor of Michigan, and in 1850 was re-elected to the same office. Having removed to Flint, he was appointed register of the land office there, in 1853, by President Pierce, and held that position until the removal of the office to Saginaw. He was always largely identified with the prosperity and advancement of the city of Flint, and was prominently instrumental in pro- curing the location here of the Institution for the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind. His distinguished services in the war of the Rebellion are mentioned elsewhere in this volume. His death, the result of an accident, occurred at Flint, May 12, 1871.
Levi Walker, a native of Washington Co., N. Y., entered upon the practice of the law in Genoa, N. Y., in 1835. He was afterwards associated in business with Hon. George
