TIMOTHY LOWTHIAN, M. D., the leading physician of Unionville, Tuscola County, is
the son of George and Ann (Martin) Lowthian, natives of Cumberlandshire,
England, whence they emigrated to Canada many years ago, making their home in
Princeton, where the subject of this sketch was born, May 7, 1848. The early
home of our subject was upon a farm and his elementary education was taken in
the district schools.

  At the age of twenty-one the young man left home and entered the employ of the
Hon. A. P. McDonald, who was interested in the construction of the
Inter-Colonial Railroad. After remaining with him for about a year, he came to
the United States and located at Caro, Mich., where he engaged in the drug
business, which he followed for five years. During this time he was pursuing his
medical studies, as he read with Dr. William Morris, Sr., and he entered the
University of Michigan in the fall of 1878. After remaining there one term he
entered the University of Buffalo, in 1879, and took his diploma in the class of
1880.

  The young doctor returned to Tuscola County and in June, 1880, located at
Unionville, where he has built up a large and lucrative practice. He had been
married in April, 1872, and his bride, Margaret Morris, is a daughter of his old
preceptor, Dr. William Morris, and his good wife, Henrietta (King) Morris, both
natives of Dublin, Ireland. This lady was born in Canada and she has become the
mother of three children, namely: Mary Sophia, born December 17, 1872; Henrietta
Anna, June 17, 1879; William George De Montmorency, February 22, 1882.

  On the 4th of March, 1888, the home of Dr. Lowthian was overshadowed by the
Angel of Death and his loving wife was removed from his side. She was a devout
member of the Episcopal Church and a woman of lovely Christian character. The
Doctor is also connected with the same church and his influence in the community
is for the upholding of Christian institutions. His political views are in
accordance with the platform and declarations of the Democratic party, and he is
a member of Lodge No. 732, I. O. F., at Unionviile, and of Justitia Tent, No.
75, K. O. T. M., in the same village. This prosperous and enterprising man
stands high in the community and has the confidence of all, both as a physician
and as a man.
