He is a graduate of McGill University at Montreal, Canada, and he completed his medical education in the Royal Physicians and Surgeons College in England. Thus well equipped for his profession he returned to America and for the past twenty years has been engaged in practice in Detroit, Michigan, where he is now well known as a successful and able general practitioner. He has been an earnest and discriminating student in the line of professional knowledge and is quick to adopt the new and improved methods, which supplement rather than supplant the old and time-tried methods of practice. He married Miss Margaret M. Hunter, also a native of Canada, and they have become the parents of six children.

Dr. William Lynn Wilson, the second member of the family and the only one residing in Berrien county, is indebted to the schools of Toronto for his early educational advantages and he also attended the university there.

D., at Detroit, Michigan, where he remained for two years. On the expiration of that period he accepted the position of physician and surgeon at the Champion Iron Works Company Hospital at Champion, Michigan, in the upper peninsula, where he remained for a year. He afterward located at Midland, Michigan, where he entered into partnership with Dr. C. E. McCalum, this relation being maintained for two years, at the end of which time Dr. Wilsgn decided to come to St. Joseph, and since 1895 has practiced continuously in this city. His professional service has won him the respect and confidence of the general public and he is now accorded rank with the prominent physicians of Berrien county. He was pension examiner of Midland, Michigan, and twice has been health officer of St. Joseph. He belongs to the American Medical Association, the Michigan State Medical Society and the Berrien County Medical Society. Of the last named he served as vice president and subsequently filled the presidency for one term.

Dr. Wilson is a Republican in his political views and as every true American citizen should do keeps well informed on the questions and issues of the day, but is without aspiration for the honors or emoluments of public office. He belongs to the Masonic fraternity, the Knights of Pythias lodge and also holds membership relations with the Maccabees and the Foresters.
