He was reared in Washington township and received his early education in the schools in vogue there in his day. He read medicine with his father who was a learned man for his time, and was about twenty-four years old when he engaged in practice, in Lower Mahoney and Jackson Townships. He had a large field, and went as far as Buffalo Valley and Snyder county. He was specially skilled in treating gangrene, and people came to him from many miles. He, too, like his father was widely known, and his life was a useful one, his existence a benefit to the afflicted and to his fellow men generally. He lived near Rebuck, in Washington township. Like his father before him he was a Lutheran in religion. He was once voted in for township clerk for a joke, as he never cared for office.
While he was known as a doctor, Frederick Treon (Trion) is listed in the 1850 and 1860 censuses as a farmer.
He did not leave a will. His inventory of personal property dated August 8, 1870 lists his name as both Treon and Trion but not Tryon. The will mostly favors the Treon spelling.
Dr. Frederick Treon was my 3rd great grandfather.
