Terrando, Joseph Steven, M.D. – The medical profession of Grundy County, Ill., 
is represented by some of the most skilled and learned men of this calling to 
be found in the state. They have devoted themselves, their time and their 
energies, to the preservation of public health and the alleviation of the ills 
of mankind.  One of the representative men, whose abilities, sympathies and 
devotion to his vocation have made him respected among his confreres and 
beloved by a wide circle of patients, is Dr Joseph Steven Terrando, of South 
Wilmington. He is a native of Pertusio, Torino, Italy, born November 17, 1872, 
a son of Anton and Madalena (Caretti) Terrando, wealthy farming people of 
Italy, who passed their entire lives in that country, where the father died 
February 16, 1904, and the mother September 15, 1908. There were seven 
children in the family: Mathew, a resident of Staunton, Ill.; Joseph Steven; 
Victoria, who married Math Riva, of Taft, Ill.; Teresa, who married Barney 
Terrando, of Spring Valley, Ill.; Natale, living in Italy; Mary, who married 
F. Michela, of Toluca, Ill.; and Steven, living in Italy.

The preliminary studies of Doctor Terrando were prosecuted in the public 
schools and when he was eight years of age he entered the Episcopal College, 
at Bra, Italy, two years later becoming a student at Cavour Lyceum, Torino, 
and later studying three years in a preparatory school. He then went to the 
University of Torino for three years, and finally passed a like period in the 
University of Parma, and after securing his diploma, at the age of thirty-one 
years, began practice with his uncle, who was a professor in the university 
there. In 1904 Doctor Terrando came to the United States and joined his 
brother and sister at Toluca, Ill., and soon thereafter went to Chicago, where 
he passed the examination required by the State Board of Medical Examiners, at 
the Coliseum, July 15, 1904. On October 17, 1904, he came to South Wilmington, 
where he has since continued in active and successful practice. He enjoys a 
large and lucrative professional business, and is known as one of the best 
read and most skillful physicians and surgeons of the locality.  A Republican 
in politics, he has not sought public office, but at this time is serving as a 
member of the Board of Health of East Brooklyn. With his family, he attends 
the Catholic Church.

Doctor Terrando was married July 17, 1905, to Miss Katie Bottino, daughter of 
Frank and Mary (Campo) Bottino, and four children have been born to this 
union: Madelina Inez, born April 9, 1906, who died July 23, 1906; Dolores 
Mary, born July 20, 1907; Inez May, born February 5, 1909; and Lillian Pearl, 
born April 4, 1912.
