FRANK A. MINNIS, M. D.
Dr. Frank A. Minnis, engaged in the practice of medicine and surgery at Greybull, was born in Madisonville, Tennessee, on the 12th of May, 1873, a son of Samuel Y. and Martha (Calfee) Minnis. The father was a collecting attorney and for thirty-six years most acceptably filled the office of justice of the peace in Madisonville, where he passed away in the spring of 1911. His widow still occupies the old home there. Dr. Minnis was reared under the parental roof and the public schools afforded him his educational opportunities, which, however, were supplemented by a course of study in the Bolivar Academy at Madisonville and a two years’ course in Hiawassee College. Still later he entered the Tennessee Medical College, from which he won his professional degree upon graduation with the class of 1906. He then located in Knoxville, Tennessee, where he engaged in the practice of his profession for two years. He left there in 1908 on account of ill health of his wife, and hoping that a change of climate might prove beneficial, removed to Idaho, spending three and a half years at Corral. He later went to Phoenix, Arizona, where he remained for two and a half years, and in the fall of 1914 he came to Wyoming, establishing his home at Greybull, where in the intervening period of three years he has built up an extensive and gratifying practice. On the 15th of July, 1895, Dr. Minnis was married to Miss Nannie Shadden, of Madisonville, Tennessee. Fraternally he is connected with the Odd Fellows lodge at Greybull, with the Modern Woodmen of America and with the Yeomen. He and his wife are members of the Baptist church and their influence is always on the side of progress and improvement along material, intellectual, social and moral lines. Dr. Minnis is a republican in his political views. He is connected with the Bighorn County Medical Society and the American Medical Association. He makes his practice his first interest and is most devoted to his professional duties and obligations. He is interested in anything which tends to bring to man the key to the complex mystery which we call life and by constant reading and study keeps in touch with advanced scientific thought and investigation.
