The birthplace of Dr. C. M. Raynale was Birmingham and the date of the interesting December 29, 1846. He grew up in his place and his boyish days did not differ from those of others in the locality. He trained to habits of industry and usefulness the sentiments of honor which have followed through life. His first studies were pursued in schools of Birmingham and later he school at Corunna for a time and then began reading medicine with his father. He subsequently entered the Lake Forest University at Cleveland Ohio and took one course of lectures and entered the Detroit Medical College from institution he was graduated in the spring of 1869. The young physician at once located in Birmingham and began the practice to which he has given his time and thought he having taken his father's place in the profession and enjoying a large and lucrative practice. Following in the footsteps of his honored father he is politically a decided Democrat but he has taken no more interest in politics than is expected of every good citizen He has taken a Chapter degree in Masonry and stands high in fraternal circles. As has been intimated he is a man of thought and intelligence well read and a good conversationalist while his high moral principles and courtesy have given him the position in which he standsamong his fellow men. Financial prosperity has accrued to him and is merited as it is by all of similar character and attainments. The presiding genius of Dr Raynale's home is the lady who became his wife December 25, 1873. She was at that time living in Birmingham, but her birthplace was Danville, Pa. and her maiden name Hannah M. Bodine. She is a daughter of John and Elizabeth (Hefley) Bodine to whose sketch the reader is referred for the history of her ancestors. She is one of those noble women whose generous sympathies gentle wisdom and loveableness endear them to the hearts of all who become familiar with their good qualities and who are respected by even their casual acquaintances. She has in all respects been the assistant of her husband taking pride in his success and in sustaining the reputation and standing of the family. Dr. and Mrs. Raynale have had one son born to them, George P. whose natal day was May 31, 1880.
