   FRANKLIN WAYNE ENTRIKIN, M. D., Findlay, late professor of gynecology in Fort
Wayne Medical College, was born in Chester County, Penn., July 27, 1830; son of
Emmor and Susannah (Bennett) Entrikin, of pioneer English Quaker ancestry in
that State. In 1832 Emmor Entrikin moved to Columbiana County, Ohio, where he
reared a family of five sons and one daughter in the Quaker faith. Franklin W.
Entrikin received a good literary training and at seventeen entered the Quaker
Academy at Salem, being a class-mate of Byron Shariton, M. D., professor of
diseases of women, Miami Medical College, Cincinnati, Ohio. After completing a
thorough literary and scientific course there he engaged in the study of
dentistry, in which profession he spent a few years. He, however, continued
reading medicine and graduated from the Ohio Medical College of Cincinnati. In
1855 he came to Findlay, where he has spent most of his time since in excellent
professional practice. He, however, has spent some considerable time in public
lecturing on his profession, and for three years held the chair of gynecology in
Ft. Wayne, Ind., Medical College. He is a scientist of considerable ability and
has contributed leading articles to the Medical and Surgical Journal, of St.
Louis. Mo., also to the Lancet and Observer, of Cincinnati (now the Lancet and
Clinic); the Medical and Surgical Journal, of Toledo, and others. He is a member
of the Northwestern Ohio Medical Association, and of the Cleveland Microscopical
Society. The Doctor was married, in October, 1851, to Sarah Ann, daughter of
Thomas Lyon, of Deerfield, Portage Co., Ohio, and by her he has three sons:
Emmor Lyon, a leading jeweler in Findlay; Leonidas A., also a jeweler, with E.
L.; Franklin Bennett, at home. Mr. and Mrs. Entrikin attend the services of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. He is a member of the I. 0. O. F. and is an A. F. &
A. M. He is a hardworking, painstaking physician, and although possessed of an
ample competence in the way of worldly goods, has probably earned a very great
proportion of his money in medical practice since he lived in Findlay. Besides
his already mentioned professional connections he has had charge of the
sanitariums in Cleveland and Green Springs. He possesses nearly all the known
instruments used in surgery. Although old in the profession the Doctor is to-day
as great a student as he was in his younger years. Dr. Entrikin was elected
professor of gynecology in the Toledo Medical College in August, 1885, and
delivered a full course of lectures in that institution in the session of
1885-86. He now holds that position. He is of strong physique and of a vigorous
nature. In politics he is a Republican. His father was a Whig and he and all the
sons early identified themselves with the anti-slavery movement and of course
drifted into the Republican party.
