" A. C. CAMPBELL, Sec'y. " H. R. SCHITTERLY, President."
Dr. Marvin did not graduate at any medical college, but was afterwards admitted as a member of the Central Mich- igan Medieal Society upon this certificate. He was the first practicing physician in the county, but not the first in the village of De Witt. He was elected county clerk at the first election of the county, in April, 1839, and served two terms, and also served as register of deeds from 1851 to 1856, and as judge of probate from 1856 to 1860. Ilis practice was largely interrupted by attention to his duties as a public officer, still he continued his practice until his death, in August, 1864.

He emigrated to Michigan in 1836, and practiced medieine one year at Ann Arbor, and in the summer of 1837 he came to the village of De Witt, where he practiced until his death, in August, 1857.

ship, and for many years the only one. His practice was continued till within a few years of his death, which oc- curred in 1875. He enjoyed the confidence of the people and the respeet of his fellow-practitioners.
Dr. Martin Moore, a native of Steuben Co., N. Y., emi- grated in 1838 or '39 from New York State, and came to the settlement on Looking-Glass River and located, but whether at Middletown, old De Witt, New Albany, or De Witt, has not been ascertained.

In the spring of 1842 le came to Wacousta, in the township of Watertown, where he commenced practice, and soon obtained an extensive patronage. He was careful and cautious, and uniformly successful as a physician. His death occurred in May, 1880.
Dr. Isaac T. Hollister came in 1847 from the State of New York to the township of Victor, in this county, to visit his brother Joseph. There being no physician in the township he was persuaded to remain. He rapidly gained the confidence of the people, and his ride was widely ex- tended. HIe remained in Vietor until 1864, when he re- tired from practice and removed to Laingsburg, where he still resides. He was elected to the State Senate in 1856.
Dr. John II. Bacon, a native of Niagara Co., N. Y., studied medicine in that State and graduated at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City. He emi- grated to Michigan and located in De Witt in 1852, where he practiced medicine until about 1860. He then removed to Lansing.
Dr. G. W. Topping is a native of Cayuga Co., N. Y. IIe emigrated to Michigan in 1853, studied medicine and graduated at the medical department of the State Univer- sity, and in 1854 removed to De Witt and commenced a practice in which he still continues. He is now president of the county medical society.
The first medical practitioner in St. Johns was Dr. - Darrow, a young physician, who located there soon after the settlement of the village. Ile was a man of excellent edu- cation and fine ability ; but he only remained about one year at St. Johns, removing at the end of that time to Okemos, and afterwards to Mason, Ingham Co., where he is now living.
Dr. De Witt C. Stewart is a native of Genesee Co., N. Y. Ile emigrated to Tecumseh, Mich., in 1833, and was en- gaged in farming and buying and selling lands until 1848, when he returned to Allegany Co., N. Y., and studied med- icine with Dr. William B. Alley about four years, riding with him and practicing during the last year. In 1852 he came to Michigan again, and practiced about two years in the townships of Onondaga and Aurelius, Ingham Co., and in May, 1854, removed to the village of St. Johns, where he opened an office. He was the first permanent physician in the township, and his ride extended twenty-five and thirty miles from St. Johns into Gratiot and Shiawassee Counties. At that time roads were few and poor, and the many visits of the physician were forced to be made on
horseback. Dr. Stewart is a careful practitioner and has been very successful in his profession. Ile still lives on the spot where he first located in St. Johns. IIe was one of the first members of the Clinton County Medical Society.
Dr. M. L. Leach located in 1854 in Duplain, where he practiced till the breaking out of the war of the Rebellion, when he entered the army. After his term of service had expired he returned to the Rochester Colony, resumed prac- tice, and continued there till 1878, when he removed to Elsie. Dr. F. A. Ilouse came to the same township in 1858, and is still in practice in that place. Six years of the time, however, he passed in Indiana.
Dr. Louis W. Fasquelle is a native of France. His father was a professor in the State University for many years. Dr. Fasquelle graduated in the medical depart- ment of the University, and practiced about one and a half years in Hartland and Cohoctah, Livingston Co., Mich. In April, 1855, he removed to St. Johns and re- sumed his practice. He served in the army six months as surgeon during the war of the Rebellion. He is still in practice in the village of St. Johns.
Dr. Andrew J. Wiggins was educated at Warsaw, N. Y., graduated at Geneva (N. Y.) Medical College, and emi- grated to Michigan in 1851. Ile attended medieal lectures at the State University, practiced in Monroe Co., Mich. ; Summit and Goshen, Ind. ; Chelsea, Washtenaw Co., and Danville, Ingham Co., Mich. In 1862 he came to the village of St. Johns, where he is still in practice.
Besides the physicians above named there were a few others who located in Clinton County during the quarter of a century succeeding its organization, but those who have been mentioned were the principal ones who commeneed prac- tice here during that period. A large number of practi- tioners have come to practice in the county in the later years, and the uames of many of these will be found in the following notice of the county medical society.
CLINTON COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY.
As early as the year 1864 an effort was made to estab- lish a medical society in Clinton County. Indeed, at that time a partial organization was effected, but the resident members of the profession were then so few that it was found impracticable to infuse sufficient vitality into the or- ganization, and in a little less than two years it expired. From that time to the present the increase in population, substantial developments, and material wealth has been un- surpassed. While the natural and necessary developments of the county have greatly diminished the causes of some forms of disease, and entirely annihilated others, the rapid influx of population has seemed to demand accessions to the ranks of the medical profession. This demand has been more than supplicd.
With adequate numbers, early in June, 1874, a call was issued for all persons residing in the county who were " regularly engaged in the rational practice of medicine" to assemble at the office of Dr. G. E. Corbin, in the village of St. Johns, on Thursday, July 9th, of that year, for the purpose of organizing a medical society. At the appointed time and place, in response to the call, there were present the persons here named :

Casper V. Beebe, of Ovid.
L. T. Wells, of Ovid. Edwin Doty, of Maple Rapids.
David Hollister, of Maple Rapids.
S. M. Post, of Eureka.
L. A. Laurason, of Fowler.
L. W. Fasquelle, of St. Johns.
D. C. Stewart, of St. Johns.
G. E. Corbin, of St. Johns.
C. C. Dellenbaugh, of Westphalia.
Among the usual preliminaries was the appointment of Drs. Corbin, Doty, and Beebe as a committee to draft a constitution and report at the afternoon session. On pre- sentation the constitution drafted by the committee was adopted with few alterations, and the organization of the society was completed by the election of its first officers. They were :
President, L. W. Fasquelle.
Vice-President, C. V. Beebe.
Treasurer, L. T. Wells.
Secretary, G. E. Corbin.
The objects of this society cannot be better expressed than in the brief preamble to its constitution which is here quoted : " Believing that men of congenial minds and similar pursuits may derive mutual benefit from fraternal association, thus promoting kind feelings and removing prejudices that are liable to exist while strangers to each other, and that a free interchange of opinions is calculated not only to harmonize the views, but also to add to the common stock of professional knowledge; therefore, Re- solved, That for these purposes, and in the furtherance of these objects, we form ourselves into an association to be called Clinton County Medical Society."
From its organization to the present date (June, 1880) Drs. Fasquelle, Topping, and Gillam have served as pres- idents ; Beebe, Topping, Dellenbaugh, Doty, and Post, as vice-presidents ; Wells, Laurason, and Post, as treasurers ; and Dr. G. E. Corbin has been its only secretary during the same period. During the six years of its existence this society has delegated Drs. Fasquelle, Beebe, Dellenbaugh, Gillam, Topping, Corbin, and Doty to represent its in- terests in the annual deliberations of the American Medical Association. Its constitution requires that the meetings of the society shall all be held in the village of St. Johns, and thus far they have all been held in the office of its secretary. A number of changes in membership have oc- curred. Some have removed from its jurisdiction. None have yet been removed by death. The present membership cubraces the following list :
