HARPER HOSPITAL. 3
In usefulness it added largely to the already extensive preparation made by the Government for the shelter and care of thousands of Michigan men who, by disease or wounds, had been rendered unfit for service in the field.
On ITS completion, Dr. Farrand was placed in charge, with Drs. W. A. Chandler, Wm. C. Catlin, E. W. Jenks, and G. W. Fitzpatrick as assistants. Dr. Byron Stanton, a surgeon of volunteers, succeeded Dr. Farrand in the spring of 1865, but he remained but a few weeks, as he accepted a position in asylum. for the insane in Ohio.
Dr. Farrand again assumed charge, continuing on duty until June or July following, when at his own request he was transferred to take charge of the hospital at Fort Wayne, near Detroit, then occupied by U. S. troops.
