HOWARD COUNTY MISSOURI BIOGRAPHIES (Franklin Township)
FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP
SOURCE: History of Howard and Cooper Counties, St. Louis: National Historical
Company, 1883, (Franklin township, pp. 486-529.)
DR. V. Q. BONHAM
was born in Howard county, Missouri, October 18, 1856, and barring the time he was absent attending the Rush Medical college, of Chicago—the fourth college in which he has been a student—he has practised in this county since his graduation from Vanderbilt university, of Nashville, Tennessee, in 1877. He is a son of Dr. N. M. BONHAM, of Franklin, a self-made man and self-educated physician, who has gone to the front in the medical profession regardless of all difficulties, because he was determined to take that position, and with whom Dr. V. Q. is now associated as a partner in the practice. Dr. V. Q. BONHAM was reared in this county, and in early youth took the usual course in the common schools. Subsequently he entered the State university in Columbia and studied the higher branches, after which he centred his whole mind and time on the study of medicine. He took a long and severe course of preliminary reading and instruction under his father, and in 1875 entered the Missouri medical college, which he also attended in 1876. He then entered Vanderbilt university, of Nashville, Tennessee, from which he was afterwards duly graduated. Returning home after his graduation, he at once entered actively into the practice and continued in this until the spring of 1883, when he went to Chicago and took a course in the Rush medical college of that city, returning afterwards and resuming his practice in Howard county. On the 29th of August, 1880, Dr. BONHAM was married to Miss Nannie C. BOGGS, a highly accomplished and most excellent young lady, and their union has been blessed with a bright and interesting little daughter—Maggie L.
