ENRY R. CASE, M. D. Among the prominent and successful physicians and surgeons in practice m Genesee County, this State, whom the publishers of this Recokd take pleasure in presenting to his fellow-men and associates, is he whose name is above. He is a resident of Grand Blanc, where he enjoys a large and lucrative practice, having extensive patronage not only in the town of which he is a resident, but also in the surrounding country. He was born August 5, 1848, and is a son of Richard and Caroline (Clark) Case, both of whom were natives of New York State. They came to Oakland County, tJiis State in the '40s and were here early settlers.
The youth of our subject was spent on a farm and his primary education was acquired in the district school and on finishing his course he became a student at the Flint High School. In 1869 he entered the National Medical College, a branch of the Columbian College, located at Washington, D. C. Here he took a four years' course and graduated therefrom in 1873. He subsequently became a resident physician of the Children's Hospital at Washington, D. C, but old associations and ties had not relinquished their hold upon his memory, and he determined to return to Michigan, which he did in 1874.
At the date above mentioned Dr. Case located in the pretty town of Grand Blanc and has since that time been in constant and active practice of his profession. During his residence in Washington, he was for three years connected with the Interior Department in the Civil Service office, at the same time pursuing his studies and taking lectures. The man who has will power enough to pursue a fixed purpose in this way, while being under the necessity of supporting himself by such arduous work as was that Dr. Case took up, could not but make a success in a professional way, nor has he disappointed his friends in this respect.
The marriage of Dr. Case was solemnized October 24, 1876; his bride was Frances A. Gibson, the daughter of the late C. D. W. Gibson, an early settler of Grand Blanc Township. Dr. Case is a believe in the advantages of the Republican party, it to him being the exponent of all that is most reasonable in Governmental science. Our subject and his wife are in their church relations members of the Methodist Episcopal denomination and are actively interested in the social life of the church as well as in its spiritual development. Dr. Case is a member of the Genesee County Medical Association, and moreover a member of the American Medical Association. Although still a young man the career of our subject has already been marked with so great a degree of success that it is only reasonable to expect of him great things for the future. The discoveries in the science of medicine have not been exhausted. There are still new and untried fields for skilled practitioners and theorists to work upon.
