        FREDERICK FINSTER, M.D., homeopathic physician and surgeon, is a
     native of Germany, and was born in Bavaria April 3, 1831.  His parents
     emigrated to this country, and came to Detroit when he was only six
     years old, in 1837.  He grew up and received his education in this
     State.  Studied medicine in Detroit in the office of Drs. JOHN ELLIS
     and S. B. THAYER; attended his first course of lectures in the College
     of Medicine and Surgery in the University of Michigan during the
     session of 1853-54.  He took his next course of lectures in the Homeo-
     pathic Medical College of Cleveland, Ohio, during the session of
     1854-55, and graduated therefrom in the spring of 1855.  He then
     formed a copartnership with Dr. E. H. DRAKE , of Detroit, for two
     years, and was actively employed in his profession during that time in
     that city.  He came to Port Huron in the spring of 1857, and since
     then, for the past quarter of a century, has been successfully engaged
     in the practice of medicine, and has won an enviable reputation as an
     able, conscientious physician; and, with one exception, is the oldest
     practitioner in the city.  In 1859, Dr. FINSTER was united in marriage
     to Miss LYDIA A. KIMBALL, a native of this county; they have six chil-
     dren - ALICE MAY, SHELDON EDWARD, FREDERICK ELLIS, NANCY EDITH, ARTHUR
     RAY and CHESTER.
