        FRANKLIN C. TERRILL, M.D., was born in Plymouth, Wayne Co., Mich.,
     Aug. 3, 1849.  He is the youngest son of LYMAN and CATHERINE (CLARK)
     TERRILL, and was reared on a farm to the age of 18. He attended the
     common district school until the age of 14, when he entered the high
     school at Northville and two years afterwards entered the union school
     in Ann Arbor, Mich., where he pursued the English course.

        In the fall of 1869 he was chosen Principle of the union schools at
     Ovid, Mich., which position he held during the following year, when he
     went to Kansas and was elected to the same position in the schools at
     White Church.

        Dr. TERRILL followed the calling of teacher, reading an ad interim
     for his profession until 1875, when, owing to ill health, he abandoned
     it and returned to Ovid, Mich., where he embarked in the drug business
     with GEORGE BEEBE; this relation and business continued until the fall
     of 1877, when he entered the Department of Medicine and Surgery at Ann
     Arbor, Mich., completed the course of study prescribed, and was
     graduated June 26,  1879. He formed a partnership for the practice of
     his profession with Dr. J. W. PATTISON at Millbrook, Mecosta Co., and
     there practiced until September 1881. In that month he came to Big
     Rapids, and established his business, which is now in a prosperous
     condition.

        Dr. TERRILL is a member of the Union Medical Society of Northern
     Michigan, and was elected first Vice President on its organization. He
     belongs to the fraternity of Odd Fellows. In 1872, while resident of
     White Church, Kansas, he connected himself with the Order of Masonry,
     joining Delaware Lodge No. 96; he was made Senior Warden in 1872-3,
     and was elected Master of his Lodge Dec 29, 1874, serving one year.

        LYMAN TERRILL was born, March 13, 1802, in Ontario Co., N.Y., and
     came to Plymouth, Wayne Co., Mich., where he was a prominent pioneer.
     He settled on a farm, which he put under first class improvements and
     continued to reside there until his death, April 13, 1877. Mrs.
     TERRILL, his wife, was born in Wyoming Co., N. Y., Dec. 13, 1810.  Her
     marriage to Mr. TERRILL occurred Dec. 13, 1880, at Ann Arbor, Mich.
     Of seven children born to them, six are now living, viz: CHARLES C. is
     an architect in California; was a member of the Legislature of the
     Golden State for three consecutive terms; NANCY resides at Ovid;
     MARTHA C. is the wife of CHARLES M. MORRISON, a farmer at Ovid,
     Clinton Co., Mich.; JARED D. is Chief Clerk in the Indian Bureau at
     Washington D.C., which position he has occupied for 18 years. FRANCIS
     G. is a farmer on the homestead at Plymouth; HOBERT H. is deceased.
     The mother died at Plymouth, Jan.11, 1863.
