Harlan Henry HILL, of Lowell [Orleans County, Vermont], was born 16 April 
1860 in Greensboro [Orleans County, Vermont], son of Samuel and Jane 
(FAIRBANKS) HILL. He is one of the most successful physicians in Orleans 
County, and has a universally large practice. A self-made man. After 
leaving the public schools of Greensboro, by a hard and diligent struggle 
procured sufficient funds for a more extended education, in the 
Liberal Institute of Glover [Orleans County, Vermont], and the Eclectic 
College of Physicians and Surgeons, of New York City, from which later 
institution he graduated in 1883, after an extensive experience in hospital 
practice at Bellevue and Blackwell's Island [an island in the East River, in 
the borough of Manhattan, New York County, New York, earlier the site of 
facilities for treating typhus, ship fever, etc.; smallpox hospital built 
there 1854]. After graduating he pursued his profession a few months with 
his former preceptor, Dr. TEMPLETON, of Glover, with whom he had studied 
three years, going from Glover to Morgan [both in Orleans County, Vermont]. 
In the fall of 1884 he moved to Lowell, where he soon acquired an extensive 
practice. In 1886 Dr. HILL was elected town superintendent of schools. 
Member of the Vermont Eclectic Society, and in 1892 was elected vice 
president. Politically, he is a strong Republican. In religious belief he 
is a liberal. On 12 May 1884 he [Dr. Harlan Henry HILL] married [Miss?] Zana
