  • Notes 
    • Shortly after his mother died when he was about 17, Byron went off to Cincinnati College to study medicine. After receiving his M.D. in the spring of 1856, he went west to practice in Iowa and Illinois. Much of his practice was with the men and their families who worked in the lead mines of northwestern Illinois. Probably because of overwork during the Civil War, Byron was threatened with, or contracted, tuberculosis. In the fall of 1864 he gave up the active practice of medicine and returned with his family to Painesville Ohio. On his return, Byron's father deeded him part of his farm lands, and on his father's death in 1883 Byron inherited the main Lathrop farm. Dr. Byron Lathrop was more a poet than a practical farmer. He was a gentle man, widely read in literature and the classics, and possessed an extensive library. Some of his poetry was published. both he and his wife were staunch Republicans.
