P.H. GRIFFIN, M.D., was born in Ireland, in March, 1856, and is a son of
Jeremiah and Sarah (O'Brien) Griffin.  His parents immigrated to America
when he was but a child, and settled at Corydon, Henderson Co., where P.H.
received his literary education, and afterward taught school for five
consecutive school years.  In 1873 he began the study of medicine under Dr.
J.M. Powell at Corydon, Ky.  During the winter of 1878 and 1879 he attended
medical lectures at the University of Louisville, Ky., and the following
year attended the Missouri Medical College, at St. Louis, from which he
graduated with honors; the same year he came to Sebree, and began the
regular practice of medicine, which he has since continued with success.
He is one of the leading members of the McDowell Medical Society, of which
he was treasurer for 1884.
