DR. A. G. LELAND, surgeon and homeopathist physician, commenced practice in Whitewater, Wis., in June, 1865. He was born in Otto, Cattaraugus Co., N. Y. , Dec. 17, 1830.

When 8 years of age, he lost his father, Asa Leland, by death, and, about three months afterward, his mother. He was then adopted by his uncle, C. R. Leland, a prominent lawyer in New York State. He received his education at Cornell's Private School and Irving Institute.
After spending some time in his uncle's office and in teaching, in 1848 he began the study of medicine. The next year, he removed with his uncle to Milwaukee. As the latter died about two months after his arrival at Milwaukee, he concluded, for pecuniary reasons, to temporarily suspend his medical studies and accept a clerkship in the Milwaukee Post Office. Subsequently, he was teller in a bank, and afterward served three years as Secretary and Local Treasurer of the Milwaukee & Chicago Railroad Company, now Chicago & Northwestern. He then resumed the study of medicine, under the instruction of Drs. Tracy & Brown; attended lectures and graduated at Hahnemann College in February, 1865. He commenced to practice in Milwaukee, but, in June of the same year, was induced to take the practice of Dr. Fish and remove to Whitewater, where he has continued the practice of his profession with marked success. He was married, in 1857. to Gertrude H. , daughter of Prof. A. Mills, of New York City. They have three children — Frank. Abram M., Lillie G.
