EDWARD F. GRANT, M. D.
EDWARD F. GRANT, M. D., was
born in Rochester, New York, December 19, 1852, son of Sidney and Adeline
(Hayward) Grant, the latter a native of Massachusetts, and the former of New
York and of Scotch descent. The Haywards date their history back to the time of
the Mayflower and Plymouth Rock. Sidney Grant died in 1881, at the age of
sixty-one years. The widow is still residing there at the age of sixty-eight
years. In the family there were two children: Edward F. and Theodore W., the
latter residing in Rochester, New York. Edward was raised in his native place
and attended public schools there. He afterward attended a private academy for
three years, preparing for college. He then entered Rochester University in
1870, and was graduated from that institution in 1874, at which time he had
conferred upon him the degree of Bachelor of Arts.
He then went to Jackson County, Michigan,
was married and went to teaching; he held the position of principal in the
Union school for three years. In the meantime he entered upon his medical
studies under his preceptor, Dr. S. P. Towne, of Jackson. In the fall of 1876
he went to Cincinnati, where he attended medical lectures at Pulte Medical
College, and was graduated from there in the class of 1878. He then returned to
Michigan and located in Hastings, Barry County, where he entered upon the
practice of his profession. He remained there until 1881, when he came to
California and established himself at Lodi, where he carries on a successful
practice of medicine. He is a prominent and enterprising citizen, and a
gentleman of courteous and genial manners, which have won for him many friends.
He is a Mason, having first joined the order in Michigan in 1880. He is also
member of the K. of P.
He was married September 15, 1874, to Miss
Eva A. Dake, a native of New York. They have three children: Sidney P.,

Mokelumne river, which is set out to a variety of fruit, such as grow
prolifically in this county.
