[Rochester Sentinel, Saturday, April 30, 1881] BIOGRAPHY Dr. A. K. Plank. - The ancestors of the subject of this sketch were of Holland-Dutch descent. They were among the early settlers of the territory bordering on the Great Lakes, particularly the part now comprised in the State of New York. They came to America, as many others did, to avoid religious intolerance and persecution then practiced in their native country. They found a home in the wilderness, but industry and sturdy habits soon made farms, built towns and cities. His parents, Abraham and Sallie Plank, were American born, being residents of New York State. They lived on a farm in Schoharie <strong>County</strong>, with their family, consisting of eight children, of whom the one whose name appears at the head of this writing was the seventh in relation of age. He was born Fevbruary 22, 1827, and was only seventeen months old when his father died, leaving his mother in charge of the whole of family affairs. He attended the common schools of New York State till 1835, when the family moved to LaPorte, Ind., where he continued in school to his thirteenth year; then he was bound to Dr. Teagarden, a prominent physician of LaPorte, until he should become twenty-one years old. At the age of nineteen years he commenced the study of medicine with his preceptor; he attended medical lectures at Cincinnati, and in 1850 graduated, receiving the degree of M.D. He immediately located at South Bend, where he practiced for three years with good success; he then came to Rochester; followed his profession in connection with the drug business. This was in the early history of Rochester, and he may be justly styled the “pioneer druggist” of Rochester. On May 9, 1854, he was married to Mrs. Ann E. Sippy, then a widow, resident of Rochester. Two children resulted from this union, the elder, Charles K., now a prosperous boot and shoe merchant, located a few doors south of his father’s drug house; the younger, William S., at present attending school in the Pharmic Department of the Ann Arbor University.
