"MADILL, THOMAS F.

MADILL, WILLIAM A.
(fl.1859-1878)

Daybooks and Related Financial Records,
1857-1898  


Biographical

Thomas F. Madill was born circa 1828.  He received his M.D. from 
Jefferson Medical College in 1855 and proceeded to practice 
medicine in Bradford County, Pennsylvania.  He was based in 
Towanda or Wysox but served many of the surrounding towns.  
Madill was retired by 1902 and died of acute laryngitis at the 
age of 78 on 27 June 1906.

Little is known of William A. Madill, except that he had a medical 
practice based in Dunsmore, Sullivan County, Pennsylvania, circa 
1874-1878. His daybook indicates a practice from 1859 to 1882, 
covering a large area of Bradford County.  William A. Madill 
was probably some close relation of Thomas F. Madill.


Scope and Contents

This collection of twelve of Thomas F. Madill's daybooks (1857-1892) 
spans almost his entire professional career and gives a comprehensive 
view of the daily practice of a country physician in the towns 
of central Bradford County, Pennsylvania.   The daybook entries 
are chronological and provide each patient's name, a brief description 
of the medical work, and the charge involved.  Many entries 
refer to pages in a ledger which has not survived as part of 
the collection.  An interesting adjunct to the daybooks is a volume 
listing Madill's accounts which were turned over to William 
Lewis and John A. Codding, who was a professional bill collector 
in Wysox.

The William A. Madill daybook gives similar, though sketchy, information 
about this more obscure Pennsylvania physician and his practice. 
 The three series of entries, 1859-1860, 1866, and 1881-1882, 
contain information similar to that found in the daybooks of 
Thomas F. Madill.  The William A. Madill daybook also includes, 
however, a breakdown of his patients and charges by town  most 
refer to towns in Bradford County.


Provenance

This collection of Madill daybooks and related financial records 
was purchased by the Historical Collections of the College of 
Physicians of Philadelphia from Carmen D. Valentino, 2956 Richmond 
Street, Philadelphia, PA 19134 on 22 September 1988.  The purchase 
was made possible by a gift from Eleanora Gordon.

The collection was processed in August, 1989.
