The father of our subject, E. A. Lee, M. D., was born and reared in Ohio, graduated from Rush Medical College at Chicago, and during the Civil war served four years as surgeon in an Illinois regiment, with the rank of major. After the close of the war he located at Du Quoin, Ill., and followed his profession for several years. On account of asthma, necessitating change of climate, California and other places were visited and settlement finally made in Colorado Springs, Colo., in 1875. After several years' residence, another change became necessary and he removed to Fort Collins, Colo., and is still practicing his profession at that place. He married Margaret M. Farnan, who was born at Sparta, Ill., the daughter of Joseph Farnan, a southern Illinois pioneer and a medical graduate of an Irish college. Both Dr. and Mrs. Lee are still living, as are two of four daughters and one of two sons.
