Pleasant Select School, and at the end of the term he commenced the study of medicine with Dr. C. Pierson, of Mt. Pleasant; he attended two courses of lectures at the Homeopathic Medical College of Pennsylvania, where he graduated in 1867; in April of the same year, he located in Burlington and commenced the practice of medicine. Dr. Virgin has for many years had the honor to be Treasurer of the Hahncmann Medical Association of Iowa. In 1869, he was married to Miss Ella Hickok, and has now three children Maud, Alice and William C.
