At 16 years of age he was placed in the mercantile house of J.W. and H.T. Blanton to learn the mercantile business. While working at the Blantons, medical books that belonged to Dr. Blanton fell into his hands, and it became apparent that medicine was what he was interested in. Dr. Blanton advised Felix's dad and Felix was then sent to the Cumberland University, at Lebanon, TN, to complete his education. He graduated from the medical department of the Universtiy of Pennsylvania in March, 1859. He then started to practice medicine in Manlyville for one year, when he married Miss Hattie Loving, Daughter Of Dr. S. Loving, of Henry County. They then moved to Paris, where Dr. Porter continued to practice medicine untile the Civil War started. He joined the Fifth TN Regiment, was commissioned assistant surgeon. After the war, because of poverty of the country and the hostility of the Brownlow Legislature to all professional men who had been in the Confederate Army, he accepted the management of a milling and ginning company. After a time he returned to medicine. His first wife died in 1864 and in 1867 he married Miss Willie Burgess Of Lebanon, Tn. He had 2 children by his first wife and six by his second.
