Elizabeth Farrand
Elizabeth Martha Farrand (1852-1900) wrote the second book-length history of the University of Michigan and the one that was most frequently cited thereafter, ''History of The University of Michigan'', in 1885.〔Ann Arbor : Register Publishing House, 1885〕 Prior to that she served as Assistant Librarian at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan, from 1878 until 1884 at a time when that position and the University Librarian were the only full time positions in the Library and both were listed among the “faculty” positions in the University’s General Register. In a seemingly surprising career change, she left the Library after being accepted to the University’s Medical School from which she received an M.D. degree in 1887. After a year’s residency training at the Woman’s Hospital in Detroit she spent the rest of her life in private medical practice in Port Huron, Michigan, where she died in 1900.
== Early life ==
Elizabeth Farrand was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on March 31, 1852, the daughter of Lucius S. and Frances Shaw Farrand, members of a pioneering Michigan family. Her grandfather, Bethuel Farrand moved from New York State to Detroit in 1825 and from there to Ann Arbor in the same year. At the time of his arrival there were 26 families in the city. After being involved in various businesses, including the Water Works of the City of Detroit he became the first probate judge of Washtenaw County, Michigan, of which Ann Arbor is the county seat and he served as a leader in a variety of local religious and social organizations.〔Michigan Historical Collections. Lansing (): 1876, VI, 1883, 443-446 contains Bethuel Farrand's story of these years〕 Elizabeth Farrand attended the public schools in Ann Arbor, graduating from the Ann Arbor High School. Her father died in October 1851 at the age of 38 just before she was born. In the 1870 census she and her mother and sister lived together in the family home along with three college student boarders.〔Year: 1870; Census Place: Ann Arbor Ward 4, Washtenaw, Michigan; Roll: M593_707; Page: 83B; Image: 171; Family History Library Film: 552206〕 In that year the 18-year-old Elizabeth was “teaching school” according to the census. Her sister, Frances M., died in 1871 and her mother died in 1875. By the 1880 census she was single and without immediate family, living as a boarder herself in another Ann Arbor home.〔Year: 1880; Census Place: Ann Arbor, Washtenaw, Michigan; Roll: 608; Family History Film: 1254608; Page: 32C; Enumeration District: 223; Image: 0369. Her name is incorrectly listed here as Martha E., but her age and occupation are correct.〕
Her uncle, David Osborne Farrand (1837-1883) had, meanwhile, become one of the best known doctors in the area, working as a partner in a medical practice in Detroit with Zina Pitcher, one of the Regents of the University of Michigan who played a founding role in the University of Michigan Medical School. Known locally as D. O., David Farrand was born in 1837 and had graduated from the Literary College at the University of Michigan in 1857. After studying in Germany and working in the Detroit wholesale drug business of his brother, Jacob, he graduated from the New York College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1862 and entered the Union army as an assistant surgeon. In 1866 he returned to Detroit to begin his local medical practice with Pitcher who himself died in 1871. He was involved in many activities in Detroit, including serving as president of the early Board of Health, as surgeon for the Detroit Police Department, and as Surgeon in Chief of the Michigan Central Railroad. When D. O. Farrand died in 1883 University of Michigan President James B. Angell presided over his Ann Arbor funeral.〔Michigan Historical Collections. Lansing (): 1876, VII, 1886, 602-611.〕 D. O. Farrand’s brother Jacob Farrand (1815-1891) became a substantial businessman in Detroit and served as President of the Board of the Harper Hospital there from 1860 until his death in 1891. The Farrand School for Nurses training at Harper was named after D. O. Farrand.〔Woodford, Frank B, and Philip P Mason. Harper of Detroit: the Origin And Growth of a Great Metropolitan Hospital. Detroit: Wayne State University Press, 1964, 303 give brief biographies of the brothers (who were actually half brothers).〕 Their brother Bethuel (1820-1901), known as B. C., became a well known lawyer in Port Huron, Michigan.
