He had been suffering for a long time from a paralytic stroke received eighteen months ago. It was thought that he would recover, but he could not stand the physical strain. Dr. Porter was born at “Rose Meadow Farm,” three miles from Frostburg, April 14, 1817. His father was the late John Porter. Dr. Porter received his primary education in Frostburg, and studied medicine in the office of the late Drs. Samuel R. Smith and Thomas A.
