Dr. Rollin S. Fillmore, born in Illinois on December 22, 1854, and passed away November 1, 1944. He lost both his parents when he was young and made his home for a time with his Aunt Cass and Uncle Frederich Merrill. While attending normal school, his desire was to study medicine, probably because his father was a physician.
In later years he enrolled in Missouri Medical College. After his first year in medical college he opened an office under tutelage of Dr. L.P. Stookey in the town of Fayettville, Illinois. In the fall he returned to Medical College and remained until graduation. On December 21, 1885, he was united in marriage to Miss Ada Louise Burn. To this union three children were born, Louise Eupheme, Rollin Slossin, Jr. and Benjamin Dewitt. Louise married Dr. R.W. Weston.
Dr. and Mrs. Fillmore located in Blue Rapids and for forty-six years was our doctor here and to our adjoining towns of Irving, Bigelow, Frankfort, Waterville, Marysville and Cleburne, also the surrounding county.
Physicians' fees and physicians' collections are entirely different things. With a country doctor, long hours and small fees usually went together.
In early days, doctors made the charge of one dollar per visit and that included the medicine. In the country they charged one dollar per visit and fifty cents a mile.
Dr. Fillmore believes his largest fee was $450.00 but this was for several weeks attendance on the patient.
In his day, he received for his services, such things as a goat, small potatoes, sugar, and etc., not always money. His means of transportation, first on horseback and carried the old fashion saddlebag. He then drove a team of stallions, then later a team of small horses. In 1908, he got his first new car, a Rambler he bought at Kansas City, Missouri.
He retired from practice of medicine in 1929 and he and Mrs Fillmore went to Long Beach, California to make their home.
Dr. Fillmore was a member of the Masonic Fraternity, Eastern Star, Knights of Pyhias, Woodmen and Royal Neighbors. He also was a member of the Township Board, City Council, School Board and in church activities. [1]
