IRA C. WILLAN, M.D., one of the leading physicians and surgeons of
Morgantown, Ind., was born July 27, 1859, in Hart County, Ky., and is the
third of the eight children of Dr. Elzy B. and Carrie R. (Murrey) Willan,
natives of Kentucky, and of English extraction, who moved to Trafalgar,
Johnson County, Ind., in 1861, where Ira grew to manhood, and, in his
father's drug store, received an early medical training, having served as
clerk for eighteen months therein. After receiving a good education at the
schools, he entered on the study of medicine under his father for two years,
after which he attended two courses at the Indiana Medical College,
department of Butler University, from which he graduated in the class of
1883, and with great honors. July 26, 1883, he opened a medical office at
Morgantown, and has even now been successful in establishing himself with
the people as a young practitioner of ability and promise. We predict for
him a lucrative practice and general renown.
