In addition to the large practice he enjoys in Utica, Dr. H. Frank Preston owns and conducts a sanitarium
and winter resort in Cuba, where he has a very attractive estate. A native of Chenango county, New York, his natal
day was the 7th of November, 1863; his parents were William and Electra (Burdick) Preston, the father a successful
building contractor.
His preliminary education Dr. Preston acquired in the public schools of his native eounty, after which he attended
the Homer, Burlington and Hanover, Vermont Academies. He then matriculated at the medical department of Dartmouth
College, from which institution he was graduated with the degree of M. D. in 1888. Returning to Burlington, Vermont,
he entered a hospital there where he remained as interne for a year. At the expiration of that time he went to
Lewis county, New York, locating in Turin, where he successfully engaged in general practice for six years. From
there he came to Utica, where he has ever since maintained an office.
Dr. Preston married Miss Anna C. McFarland, and to them were born three sons, two of whom are living; Kenneth,
who was born in 1904; and Keith Burdick, whose birth occurred in 1907, while Frank, Jr., died in Cuba in February,
1911.
Dr. Preston affiliates with the Baptist and Mrs. Preston with the Presbyterian church. Fraternally he is identified
with the Royal Arcanum, Maccabees and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, being the ranking member of the latter
organization in Oneida county. His political support he gives to the candidates of the republican party, but does
not actively participate in municipal affairs, his sanitarium and general practice absorbing the greater part of
his time and attention. While a resident of Lewis county, however, he always prominently participated in all political
affairs, being the successful candidate on the republican ticket in 1894 for the office of coroner. Dr. Preston
keeps in touch with the members of his profession through the medium of his connection with the American Medical
Association, New York State Medical Association and the Oneida and Lewis County Medical Societies. During the period
of his residence in this city Dr. Preston has met with a very gratifying degree of success and is highly regarded
both socially and professionally.
