           WILLIAM E. SPOHN, M.D., physician, surgeon and druggist, resi-
        dent at Pinnebog, Hume Township.  His parents, ASBURY and MARY A.
        (TERRYBERRY) SPOHN, removed from the Dominion of Canada to Hume
        Township when he was nine years of age, and he has "grown up with
        the country."
           DR. SPOHN was born Feb. 4, 1851, in Ontario. His early education
        was obtained in the public schools, and when he was 19 years of age
        he became a student in the graded school at Port Austin, which he
        attended two years. After teaching six months, he again attended
        the same school three months. He passed two years in teaching, and
        in 1876 began the study of medicine with BENNETT RICHARD, M. D., of
        Port Austin, and continued to read for his profession under his
        instructions about three years. He matriculated at the Detroit
        Medical College, where he attended two terms and completed the
        prescribed course, graduating and receiving his credentials from
        that institution in 1881. He at once established his business at
        Pinnebog, where he has thus far met with unqualified success. His
        business as a druggist is also in a satisfactory and promising
        condition.
           In political opinion, DR. SPOHN adopts the views of the Repub-
        lican party. He owns 50 acres of land in Hume Township, most of
        which is in an unimproved state.
           He was married Dec. 5, 1882, at Royal Oak, Oakland Co., Mich.,
        to SARAH E., daughter of PETER and SARAH (HART) McDOWELL. She was
        born May 16, 1860, at Royal Oak.
           The parents of DR. SPOHN were natives of Canada. In 1860 they
        removed thence to Hume Township, where the father died, Sept. 1,
        1882. The mother is living.
