Biography reproduced from page 284 of the History of Kossuth and Humboldt Counties, Iowa published in 1884:

Dr. M. C. Lathrop was also one of the early disciples of Esculapius in the county. In July, 1858, he first landed at Algona, and entered into practice. In the spring of 1859, liking the place, he went back to Cedar Falls, and brought his family to this point. He remained until the beginning of the Civil war, when he went to Cedar Rapids and entered the service as a surgeon. After the cessation of the hostilities, he went east, and at present is at Dover, N. H., where he has a most lucrative practice.
