McFall, one of Greene County's most skillful physicians, is a native of Trumbull Co., Ohio, and the fifth child of Henry and Mary McFall, who emigrated to Wisconsin during the tenth year of the subject of this sketch, where, in after years, he attended the Plattville academy, where he received a liberal education ; from this institution learning he directed his footsteps to the great metropolitan city of New York, where he began the study of phrenology under Fowler & Wells, and afterward became a graduate of the Phrenological Institute of Fowler & Wells, and became a successful lecturer on Phrenology for a period of four years, and through welldirected energy and keen business tact in speculative matters he accumulated considerable wealth ; he now determined to adopt the medical profession for a life work, and proceeding to New York City lie entered the office of Dr. George M.
