  Text	p469     Dr ROBERT S REAGAN, a rising and progressive physician and coroner of Fayette county, is a son of Philip Reagan and Rose Ann Martin Reagan, and was born in Bullskin township, Fayette county, Penna, March 26, 1852.     His great grandfather, Philip Reagan, was a Scotch Irishman, an early settler of Westmoreland county where he laid out the town of Reagantown which was named in honor of him.  He lived to the remarkable age of 109 years.     One of his sons, Alexander Reagan, Dr Reagan's grandfather, was a potter by trade, a whig in politics, a popular man, and for half a century served in some one of the township offices.     His son, Philip Reagan, married Rose Martin, a daughter of Frederick Martin and a native of Maryland.  She died in 1883 at eighty years of age. Her father was a farmer and came to Fayette county where he died in 1867.     Dr Robert S Reagan was reared principally on a farm, educated in the common schools, Mt Pleasant Institute, and Waynesburg College and was graduated from the latter in the class of 1876.  He read medicine with Dr J J Singer of Connellsville, attended lectures at Jefferson Medical College at Philadelphia and was graduated from that school in the spring of 1880.     In May, 1880, he began the practice of medicine at Broad Ford and has successfully continued there in the practice of his profession up to the present time.  He enjoys a good and  paying practice.     He was married in 1881 to Miss Hattie Stacy, daughter of William Stacy who is a well-to-do farmer.  They have three children: Roy S Reagan; Edna S Reagan; and Frank S Reagan.     In politics he is a democrat and takes an active part in the interests of his party.  In 1886 he was appointed to fill the unexpired term of Dr John Batton as coroner of Fayette county.  In the fall of the same year he was elected coroner and is now serving very satisfactorily in that office.  In 1881 he established his present successful drug and grocery store in Broad Ford.  Dr Reagan is a member of the Masonic fraternity and the Improved Order of Heptasophs.  He is pleasant and gentlemanly and a well read and skillful physician.
