standing for thirty years, be constituted honorary members was
adopted in June, 1887. This honor was accordingly bestowed upon Dr.
Bartow Wright, whose membership dated from 1834, and upon Dr. Harvey
Everett, who joined the society in 1839. The former died in 1890 and
the latter April 8, 1899, having been a member of the society for
sixty years.
In 1895 revised by-laws were adopted, one of which admitted to
membership any licensed physician who declared his full abnegation of
sectarian principles and practice. This invitation was an expression
of a principle and belief which it is hoped will in the near future
rally all physicians to a broad standard of practice, and the recent
law enacted, which provides but one board of examiners to grant State
licenses to physicians of all schools, is another hopeful sign of
medical unity.
In 1898, at the breaking out of the war with Spain, Dr. James R.
Wood, a member of this society, volunteered and accompanied the
101st Regiment to Cuba. There he afterwards died in the performance
of his duties, which were those of endeavoring to render sanitary the
almost impossible conditions at Guanajay.
In February, 1901, the Orange County Medical Association was
organized, about which time a successful effort was made to complete
the organization of associations in those counties where they had not
been formed when the State Association split off from the State
Society, because of the code question in 1882. The two sets of
organizations had not been long maintained, however, when a
comparison of their ethical standards revealed the fact that twenty
years had so modified opinions as to have practically removed the
differences. The associations, however, had the advantage of the
recognition of the American Medical Association, which had never been
accorded the societies since their adoption of the new code of
ethics. In order to avail themselves of membership in the national
association many of the members of the societies joined the
associations, too, and the barriers between the two organizations
eventually became completely broken down.
The first meeting of the amalgamated county societies was held at
Newburgh, January 25, 1906, the combined membership being
seventy-nine.
The society had three hundred and thirty-eight members and
forty-eight honorary members during one hundred years. Of these
sixty-two were elected to the office of president one or more times,
twenty-three to the office of secretary, and twenty-three to the
office of treasurer.
The centennial celebration of the society was held at Goshen, Monday,
July 2, 1906. The first part of the exercises consisting of addresses
and an historical sketch--were conducted in the board of supervisors
room in the County Building, which stands on the same ground once
occupied by the old Court House, in which the society was organized,
July 1, 1806. A collation, followed by short speeches, was afterwards
held in Music Hall, which had been decorated for the occasion with
flags and bunting. Eighty-five members and guests were present.
(A list of the officers and members of this society will be found in
the chronological table.)
The second medical society formed in the county was the _Homeopathic
Medical Society of Orange County._
This society was organized November 12, 1851, at the time when
considerable local interest had been awakened in this system of
practice and the controversy heretofore mentioned was going on
between the new and old schools. The first meeting was held in
Newburgh when by-laws were adopted and the following officers
elected:
Drs. A. Gerald Hull, president; Dewitt C. Jayne, vice-president;
Ira T. Bradner, secretary and treasurer; and W. A. M. Culbert,
corresponding secretary. A committee was also appointed to prepare an
address to the public in answer to that on ethics published by the
Orange County Medical Society.
Quarterly meetings were held during the first year, but no records of
subsequent meetings are again found until January 11, 1870. The
meetings were at first resumed semi-annually, but after three years,
more interest seems to have been taken and the society met every
three months. From time to time papers were read by members of the
society bearing upon important topics and the society continued
active for a number of years. After 1888 the meetings were held but
twice a year, and interest waned until 1891, when they were
discontinued.
(A list of the officers and members of this society will be found in
the chronological table.)
_The Tri-States Medical Society._--This society was organized in
September, 1871, by a number of physicians living in Port Jervis and
the adjacent counties of the three States, New York, Pennsylvania and
New Jersey, which join near there. Drs. Solomon Van Etten, Isaac S.
Hunt, O. A. Carroll and P. G. McCabe represented Orange County in the
formation of the society.
Quarterly meetings were held and fifty physicians became members
during the first ten years. The society flourished for about eighteen
years but was finally discontinued, probably because of a renewed
interest in the county societies. Several Orange County physicians
served as officers of the society.
(A list of the officers and members of this society residing in
Orange County will be found in the chronological table.)
[Illustration: W. L. Cuddeback. M.D.]
_The Newburgh Bay Medical Society._--This society was organized
September 10, 1895. The first meeting was held at the Palatine
Hotel, Newburgh.
There were present Drs. A. E. Adams, John Deyo, A. V. Jova, C. E.
Townsend and J. T. Howell. Dr. Adams was elected temporary chairman
and Dr. Townsend, secretary. Committees were appointed to secure
additional members and draft a constitution and by-laws, after which
the meeting adjourned until October 8th next. At that meeting there
were present, besides the above mentioned, Drs. E. H. Borst, W. L.
Carr, E. F. Brooks, W. S. Gleason, R. V. K. Monfort, G. Garlzman and
M. C. Stone.
The society was named and by-laws adopted. The object of the
society was declared to be the banding together of congenial
physicians residing in Newburgh and vicinity for the purpose of study
and discussion of medical and surgical topics and scientific subjects
relative thereto, and the promotion of social intercourse among its
members.
The society was incorporated November 8, 1897, and at that time had
twenty-nine members. Since then interest in the society has been
fully maintained, as is evidenced by the unusual record of individual
work and attendance on the part of the members. The present
membership numbers forty-two, of whom twenty-six are residents of
this county. The meetings are held bi-monthly and are usually at
Newburgh.
(A list of the officers and members of this society will be found in
the chronological table.)
_The Orange County Medical Association_ was organized February 12,
1901, in Middletown, by Drs. M. C. Connor, W. E. Douglas, A. W.
Preston. C. I. Redfield, William Evans, E. A. Nugent, L. G. Distlar
and F. D. Myers. The following officers were elected: Drs. M. C.
Connor, president; F. W. Dennis, vice-president; Charles I. Redfield,
secretary and treasurer. A committee on by-laws was appointed and the
meeting adjourned until March 12, 1901, to perfect the organization.
At the adjourned meeting the appointment of committees was completed
and the membership found to be sixteen, including those already
belonging to the New York State Association. The additional members
not mentioned above were: Drs. E. F. Brooks, J. B. Hulett, W. L.
Purdy, R. A. Taylor, C. E. Townsend, H. E. Wise, and E. D. Woodhull.
Meetings were held monthly in the different larger places of the
county and much interest was maintained by securing the uniform
presence of some recognized authority on a special subject for each
meeting.
On December 9, 1905, the New York State Medical Association and
Medical Society were amalgamated and the formal union of the
corresponding county organizations took place, as heretofore stated,
at Newburgh, January 25, 1906. The association at that time had
thirty-seven members, a number of whom belonged also to the county
society.
(A list of the officers and members of this association will be found
in the chronological table.)
_Homeopathic Medical Society of Dutchess, Orange and Ulster
Counties._--The above-named society was formed in response to a
suggestion of the Dutchess County Homeopathic Society. The first
meeting was held in Poughkeepsie, but the society was not regularly
organized until a meeting held at Newburgh June 24, 1902. Since that
time the members have met regularly at Newburgh in the months of May
and October each year, and much interest has been manifested. The
present number of members is twenty-four, eighteen of whom reside in
Orange County. Dr. William E. Reed, of Washingtonville, is now
president, and Dr. F. A. Jacobson, of Newburgh, secretary and
treasurer of the society.
(A list of the officers and members of this society residing in
Orange County will be found in the chronological table.)
MIDDLETOWN STATE HOSPITAL.
During the past thirty-seven years several hospitals have been built
and conducted in the different larger places of the county. First
among these was the Middletown State Hospital (homeopathic) for the
care and treatment of the insane, which was incorporated in 1869.
Funds were collected by Dr. George F. Foote, and a farm purchased
near Middletown as a site for the present hospital. About
seventy-five thousand dollars was raised by private subscription, a
part of which was used in hospital construction. The following year,
1870, the first appropriation was made by the State and the main
building was opened for the reception of patients in the spring of
1874, with Dr. Foote as superintendent. After a brief service Dr.
Foote resigned and Dr. Henry R. Stiles was appointed superintendent,
which position he held until 1877, when he resigned, and Dr. Selden
H. Talcott was appointed to fill the vacancy. Dr. Talcott served for
twenty-five years until his death, June 15, 1902, and under his
management the institution developed nearly to its present
proportions. The present superintendent, Dr. Maurice L. Ashley, was
appointed his successor.
The farm and grounds comprise nearly three hundred acres, on which
there are thirty buildings, the value of the real and personal
property being over $1,500,000. The present annual expenses for all
purposes are about $245,000. Since the opening of the institution the
reports show seven thousand patients received and treated. Of this
number two thousand six hundred have been discharged recovered, and
nine hundred improved. The number of patients under treatment at
present is one thousand three hundred. Buildings planned and under
construction will increase the accommodations to a capacity of one
thousand eight hundred and fifty patients and four hundred and fifty
employees.
The medical staff consists of nine members: Maurice C. Ashley, M.D.,
medical superintendent; Robert C. Woodman, M.D., first assistant
physician; George F. Brewster, M.D., second assistant physician; Roy
E. Mitchell, M.D., third assistant physician; Arthur S. Moore, M.D.,
junior assistant physician; Clara Barrus, M.D., woman assistant
physician, and their interns.
ST. LUKE'S HOSPITAL, NEWBURGH.
This institution was founded as a "Home for the aged, the indigent,
and the infirm and a Hospital for the sick and disabled." The
hospital work for a number of years was of secondary importance, but
during the latter half of its existence that has been the principal
work of the institution, until now both the name and the work of the
Home are discontinued.
The society was organized July 21, 1874, by representative members of
the Protestant Episcopal parishes of Newburgh and New Windsor, which
influence has until recently predominated in the management, although
the work has been wholly non-sectarian in character. A constitution was
adopted November 4, 1874, and the institution became incorporated.
January 5, 1876. The corporation originally leased different places
until the present reservoir site on Carpenter avenue was purchased.
On March 23, 1886, the property on Liberty street was secured, where
various buildings were erected and changes made from time to time.
Recently, March 29, 1907, the seminary building and large grounds on
Dubois street have been secured, where the fine elevation and
surroundings will better accommodate the increasing needs of the
hospital.
During the past fiscal year there were treated seven hundred and
seventy-four patients. There are forty-eight beds. A training school
for nurses was established in 1893, which now numbers twenty.
The society is a membership corporation and by a change in the
constitution adopted November 22, 1906, has become non-sectarian in
its management. It derives its income from the charges paid by
patients, from voluntary contributions and from the interest received
from an endowment fund of $47,415.21. Among the pioneer workers was
Dr. Smith Ely, whose interest and zeal had much to do with
establishing the hospital.
The present staff consists of four consulting and eleven attending
members:
Consulting Staff--Robert Abbe, M.D., surgeon; Stephen D. Harrison,
M.D., physician; Henry D. Nicoll, M.D., gynecologist; Henry L.
Winter, M.D., neurologist.
Attending Staff--John T Howell, M.D., and Charles E. Townsend, M.D.,
surgeons; William J. Carr, M.D., and E. C. Thompson, M.D., assistant
surgeons; Andrew V. Jova, M.D., and W. Stanton Gleason. M.D.,
physicians; John Deyo, M.D., and William H. Snyder, M.D., assistant
physicians; Alpheus E. Adams, M.D., ophthalmologist and otologist;
Louis R. Pierce, M.D., obstetrician; A. Judson Benedict, M.D.,
rhinologist and laryngologist.
THE PORT JERVIS HOSPITAL.
This hospital was established January 1, 1887, by Dr. J. H. Hunt as a
memorial to his father, Dr. J. S. Hunt. It accommodated twenty
patients and was located on the corner of Ball and Sussex streets.
On March 8, 1892, the hospital was purchased by Drs. W. L. Cuddeback
and H. B. Swartwout, who enlarged and remodeled it, providing
additional private rooms, the use of which was extended to outside
physicians. The hospital was again sold on September 1, 1895, the
purchasers beings several physicians living in Port Jervis and
vicinity, who formed a corporation for that purpose. The hospital,
besides doing general work, has always especially provided for the
care of the injured employees of the Erie Railroad Company.
A training school for nurses was established in 1896, which now
numbers five nurses. The number of beds in the present hospital is
twenty-five. The number of patients treated during the fiscal year
ending 1907 was one hundred and thirty-four. The present attending
staff consists of Drs. Cuddeback and Swartwout.
THRALL HOSPITAL, MIDDLETOWN.
This institution was organized largely through the efforts of Dr.
Julia E. Bradner and eight other ladies representing different
churches, who raised a fund of over five thousand dollars toward the
project. Mrs. S. Maretta Thrall subsequently came to their assistance
and donated not only the grounds but the building, thus placing the
hospital upon a firm basis in the early days of its history. The fund
already collected was used for furnishing and equipment.
The hospital was opened May 10, 1892. A training school for nurses
was established in 1894, which now numbers ten. The number of beds in
the hospital, including those in private rooms, is thirty-five. The
number of patients treated during the fiscal year ending 1907 was
four hundred and fifty-five. The present staff has six consulting and
nine attending members:
Consulting Staff---Dr. M. C. Ashley, neurologist; Dr. Francis Walk,
Dr. J. I. Lent, ophthalmologists; Dr. W. E. Douglas, Dr. E. L.
Fancher, Dr. C. W. Dennis, physicians.
Visiting Staff--Dr. T. D. Mills, Dr. J. B. Hulett, Dr. W. L. Purdy,
surgeons; Dr. Julia E. Bradner, Dr. J. L. Hammer, Dr. D. B.
Hardenburgh, Dr. M. A. Stivers, Dr. C. I. Redfield. Dr. E. M.
Schultz, physicians.
THE DR. MacDONALD HOUSE.
The Dr. MacDonald House at Central Valley, formerly known as
"Falkirk," was founded by Dr. James Francis Ferguson in 1889.
This institution was designed and built for the special care of
patients suffering from nervous diseases. Originally it accommodated
but fifteen patients, but it was enlarged by the construction of
another large cottage called the "Stanleigh," and now can care for
twice that number. Its beautiful location and surroundings contribute
to make it an ideal home for such patients.
Following the death of Dr. Ferguson, in 1904, the sanitarium was
conducted for two years by Dr. Henry A. Ferguson and William E.
Ferguson, when it was purchased by its present proprietor and
physician in charge, Dr. Carlos F. MacDonald, who has associated with
him Dr. Clarence J. Slocum as a resident physician.
INTERPINES.
This sanitarium is located at Goshen and was established in June,
1890, by Dr. F. W. Seward. It then had fourteen beds for patients,
but in 1897 the capacity of the institution was increased by
commodious additions, to fifty-six patients. The institution affords
all the advantages of a modern home for invalids especially for the
treatment of disorders of the nervous system.
It is conducted by Dr. Seward and his son, Dr. F. W Seward, Jr., who
has been associated with his father for the past eight years.

The limitations of space allotted this article not allowing the
presentation of biographies, I have collected and arranged the
following data relating to the physicians who have settled in Orange
County and practiced there since 1728.
The dates include the period of practice in this county, terminating
either by removal or death. The residences designated generally
refer to villages or larger places, but sometimes only the townships
are known. The last column contains the names of the medical college
or society granting the diploma or license, memberships and offices
in county medical societies and positions or connections with local
hospitals, etc. In all cases every endeavor has been made to obtain
the full data, and careful verification made of all information
received. In a number of cases it has been impossible to determine
the dates, and even the residences of some of the practitioners could
not be ascertained. In other cases the source of their diploma or
license cannot be found in any of the records. Special mention has
been made in a comparatively few instances where physicians are known
to have held distinguished positions or have been otherwise honored,
but omissions should not be construed to indicate inferiority of the
standing of those worthy physicians who labored on in dignified
silence, although conscious of many a triumph in the art of life
saving.
I am greatly indebted to those physicians and other interested
friends who have furnished information and data and especially to Dr.
L. R. Pierce who assisted in the compilation of this table.

CHAPTER XXXIV.
THE SCHOOLS OF ORANGE COUNTY.
By John M. Dolph.
The eastern part of the State of New York, including all those
portions which were settled in the seventeenth century or in the early
part of the eighteenth, have this common feature in their educational
history. They all show three periods of development, separate and
distinct from each other, and these periods are characterized,
largely, by the initiative under which the schools were organized and
maintained.
The first of these periods, which we may call the colonial period,
reaches from the first settlement of the country down to the time of
the Revolutionary War. During this time, about seventy-five years,
whatever schools there were in Orange County, were organized and
supported entirely by the settlers in the different neighborhoods,
for the instruction of their own children.
There were no large villages in Orange County at that time. The
communities were purely agricultural, with small hamlets scattered
here and there, such as are found in agricultural districts to-day,
and the educational advantages were very limited. This period
culminated in the struggle for independence, during which even these
limited advantages were almost entirely swept away.
During the war of the Revolution, the settled portions of the State
were overrun by armed bands again and again. The valley of the Hudson
was harried by the contending armies, back and forth for years, and,
even where there were no armies, the virulence of the feeling which
existed between the patriots and the Tories, was such that there was
little more safety for life and property in those localities than
there was at the very seat of war.
Under these circumstances, the schools were generally closed and the
generation which grew up during the Revolution was largely without
regular instruction.
[Illustration: John M. Dolph.]
Toward the end of the war, when actual hostilities had largely
ceased, there was a great awakening throughout the State to the
necessity for more and better schools than had ever existed
heretofore. Mingling with those who had enjoyed better educational
advantages, in the camp and on the field, had taught the pioneers the
value of education, and they determined to make it possible for their
children to become better equipped, educationally, than they had
been.
Private academies, for classical training, were established in the
small towns and villages and a new period, which we may call the
period of the private schools, began.
In response to this sentiment in favor of higher education, the
Legislature passed the University law in 1784, establishing the
University of the State of New York and giving the authority and the
aid of the State to the academies which had already been established
and encouraging the establishment of others. The object of this
movement by the Legislature, as defined in the act establishing the
University, was "to encourage and promote education in advance of the
common, elementary branches."
