LELAND, A. GRANGER – Biographies – History of Homeopathy

ELAND, A. GRANGER, M. D., of Whitewater, Wis., was born at East Otto, N. Y., in 1830. His father,-a man
of some political distinction,-died when Granger was nine years old. His mother dying in the same year, he was adopted by his uncle, the Hon. C. R.
Leland, a prominent lawyer, of western New York. After receiving his preparatory education at the private academy of H. M. Cornell, and at the Irving
Institute, at Irving, N. Y., he entered upon the study of medicine.

     His uncle removing soon after to Milwaukee, Wis., he went with him, but his uncle dying in the course
of a year, he found his plans necessarily changed for a time. After occupying a position in the post office for six months, he was appointed cashier of
the Milwaukee Bank. Two years afterwards, he was elected Secretary of the Milwaukee and Chicago Railroad Company, which office be occupied for three
years. During this period of five years, he made the acquaintance of Drs. Tracy and Brown and Professor Douglass. The former supplied him with books and
medical literature for study during his spare hours. On resigning his position with the railroad company, he commenced the systematic study of medicine
with Drs. Tracy and Brown. After studying three years and four months, he graduated at Hahnemann Medical College, Chicago.

     Settling in the city of Whitewater, Wis., -noted for its educational and manufacturing interests, he
has, in eight years, made the practice of homœopathy popular among the educated and enterprising people of the city, as well as profitable to himself.
His success indicates his thorough acquaintance with his business, and it is reasonable to assume that the success of the past is an omen of still
greater in the future.
