Dr. T. Maupin was born in Columbia, Boone County, Missouri, in 1839. His father, William Maupin, was one of the pioneers of Missouri. He moved from Kentucky to that State in 1816, settling in Howard County, and going to Boone County in 1820, when it was infested by Indians. He built the first house in Columbia, the county seat, in 1820, and carried on farming and trading.

Mr. Maupin was a personal friend of Daniel Boone, for whom the county was named. The subject of this sketch was educated at the William Jewell Academic College at Liberty, Clay County, Missouri, graduating in 1859: He then began reading medicine in Columbia, taking one course of lectures at the St. Louis College, after which he went to Philadelphia and finished his medical course in the Jefferson College, graduating in the old school of medicine and surgery in 1865. Returning to Columbia, Dr. Maupin entered upon the practice of his profession.

In February of the following year he was married to Miss Mary Matthews, a native of that city. Columbia is a college town of about 6,000 in habitants and is known as the educational center of the State. There the Doctor continued to reside until 1887, and during that time was prominently identified with the best interests of the place. He was actively engaged in the practice of medicine and for many years was Health Officer; was also a member of the board of curators of Stephens College of Columbia.

In 1886 Dr. Maupin moved his family to California and settled in Fresno, where he in vested quite extensively in city property. He also owns a vineyard of twenty acres located near the town. Immediately after his arrival here he began practicing and was alone until 1890, when he formed a partnership with his son, J. L. Maupin, a classical graduate of the University of Missouri.

The Doctor was elected president of the Board of Health in 1889, and Health Officer in April, 1891. He regards the city of Fresno at the present time one of the healthiest localities in the State, with no epidemics and very rare cases of acute disease.

He and his wife have a family of four children, one son and three daughters, all living at home.
