Fauntleroy, of the United States Army, was born at Warrenton, Virginia, on July 8, 1837. His early youth was passed at military posts on the western frontier com- manded by his father. He entered the Virginia Military Institute in August, 1853, and graduated with distinction in 1857. Then, taking up the study of medicine, he spent one session at the University of Virginia, and another at the University of Pennsylvania, from which he graduated in 1860. Passing the examination for the army, he was commis- sioned an assistant surgeon. He was one of the founders of the Medical Society of Virginia, and was elected president in 1871, at the beginning of the second year of its existence, and the following year he was made an honorary member. In the society he was very active and influential, and probably did more than any other member in getting an act passed by the Legislature creating a Medi- cal Examing Board. In April, 1861, he resigned his commission in the army and entered the medical corps of the Confederate Army as assistant surgeon, and was promoted to surgeon June 27, 1861. He did duty in hospitals in various places in Virginia, and later as medical director at Wil- mington, North Carolina. From July, 1861, to June, 1862, he served as chief of staff to Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, and carried his wounded commander from the field of Seven Pines. At the end of the war he settled in Staunton, Virginia, and at once became prominent as a physician and surgeon. Upon the death of Dr. Robert F. Baldwin, the superintendent of the i Western Lunatic Asylum at Staunton, he was elected his successor, in 1880. He married Sallie Conrad, of Virginia, and several children were born. Three of his sons became physicians, one a dentist. Of the former, all three entered the service of the United States, one being in the army, another in the navy, and the third in the marine hos- pital service. He died in his fiftieth year, in Staunton, June 19, 1886. Robert M. Slaughter. His family has photographs of him. Trans. Med. Soc. of Va., 1886. FaviU, Henry Baird (1860-1916). Henry Baird Favill was born at Madison, Wis., August 14, 1860, son of John and Louise Sophia Baird Favill. His first paternal Ameri- can ancestor was John Favill, who came over from England before the Revolution, fought in the Continental Army, and settled in Manheim, Herkimer County, N. Y. From him and his wife, Nancy Lewis, the line of descent is traced through their son, John Favill, and his wife, Elizabeth Guile. Their son, John Favill, and his wife, Louise Sophia Baird, were the parents of Henry Baird Favill. His father was a leading physician in Wisconsin, a mem- ber of the first state board of health, and president of the Wisconsin State Medical So- ciety in 1872. Favill was a descendent through the maternal line from the Ottawa chief, Kewinoquot (Returning Cloud), and was espe- cially proud of his Indian ancestry. Favill graduated at the University of Wis- consin in 1880, and at Rush Medical College in 1883, was an interne at Cook County Hos- pital, Chicago, and practised in Madison with his father, who died in a few months. In 1885 he married Susan Cleveland Pratt of Brooklyn, New York. In 1894 he left a large practice and went to Chicago, accepting simultaneous calls to the chair of medicine in the Polyclinic and to an adjunct chair of medicine in Ruch Medi- cal College ; from this latter post he was pro- moted in 1898 to the Ingalls professorship
