Dr. Frank H. Huron, one of the prominent physicians of Danville, Ind., is a native of Hendricks County and a soldier who did not hesitate to serve his country in the great Civil War. His grandfather spelled the name “Mahurin”. His son dropped the “Ma” and spelled the name “Hurin”. Ophniel, the grandfather of our subject, first spelled the name Huron. He was one of the pioneers of Warren County, Ohio, where he resided until his death. Benjamin O. Huron, the father of our subject, was born in Warren County, Ohio, December 31, 1811, became a farmer, and when a young man, came to Hendricks County, in 1832, with other members of the family, as follows: Seth, Anna (who married a Payne), Bertha (who married a Ross) and Phoebe (who married a Bernhill). Benjamin A. Huron entered 320 acres of land in Washington Township, where he became a substantial farmer.

Mr. Huron and wife were members of the Methodist Church, in which he was an official for many years, and was also one of the original promoters of the Methodist Church in this county. He had two sons old enough to serve in the Civil War and they both became soldiers: George A., who was in Company I, Seventh Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and was promoted to quartermaster sergeant, and served three years, and Frank H., our subject, whose military sketch is given below.
