M. F. HULLIHEN

M. F. Hullihen, son of Dr. S. P. Hullihen, was born in Wheeling, 
December 28, 1835.  He attended the old Lancasterian academy in this 
city, and in 1855, completed the curriculum in Georgetown (D. C.) 
college.  He then studied dentistry, and in 1859, went to Europe, 
where he spent eighteen months, chiefly in Munich.  On his return, he 
continued to practice dentistry, at odd times, giving some attention 
to the study of medicine.  In 1870, he received the degree of M. D., 
from Jefferson Medical college, Philadelphia, and joined the Medical 
society of Wheeling, and the State society.  Of the latter, he was 
for several years secretary.  For a short time he was assistant 
physician in the State Asylum for the Insane.  Dr. Hullihen will be 
longer remembered for his social qualities than as a physician.  
Although gifted with a fine mind, his studies were more in the line 
of general literature than in that pertaining to his profession.  His 
genial and sociable nature, and his powers as a conversationalist, 
made him a charming companion, and gathered around him a circle of 
warm friends, who sincerely mourned his very sudden death, that 
occurred May 11, 1884.
