He was graduated with the class of 1887, and immediately thereafter located at Potsdam, New York. There he had practiced six months when he was called to take charge of his brother's practice during his absence in California, which lasted six months. In the spring of 1888 he came to Marcus and succeeded Dr. ALFRED RAYMOND, and has since built up a substantial and profitable practice. He is a competent practitioner, and his efforts have met with gratifying success. Dr. PROSSER was united in marriage July 3, 1889, to Miss CLARA RAYMOND, a daughter of James and MARY (BAKER) RAYMOND, natives of Canada. Mrs. PROSSER was born June 21, 1864.
