Foreword
       My interest in the history of medicine in McLennan County began in 
the mid 1970s while researching my great-great-grandfather, Thomas L. 
Willis, MD, DDS.  He received his education at the Medical College of 
Georgia and the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery.  He and his family 
moved to Waco from Pike County, Alabama in 1866 and resided with his first 
cousin, James Madison Willis, MD, one of the founders of the Waco Medical 
Association.     
       My latest interest in the subject began in late 2014 when I visited 
the McLennan County Archives and saw the many volumes listing the names of 
the physicians in the county.  This 1882 volume is the third earliest known 
register at the archives and contains only three names.
       Trudy C. McGuire and Kerry McGuire, staff members at the McLennan 
County Archives, again provided wonderful assistance with this handwritten 
volume.  I am indebted for their suggestions.  
       In 2016, the McLennan County Medical Society will be celebrating its 
150th anniversary.  Appreciation is expressed to Bradford W. Holland, MD for 
asking me to serve on its sesquicentennial committee.  It is my hope that 
this transcription of the 1875 volume will help preserve some of the history 
and heritage of the pioneer physicians of McLennan County.
