GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC
W. A. Morse Post, No. 190, Grand Army of the Republic, was organized May 23, 1883, in memory of Capt. W. A. Morse, who assisted in raising the first company from Manchester for the Civil war. On the evening of the day mentioned, G. L. Yount, of Fred Steele Post, No. 4, Anamosa, mustered in the following comrades: G. A. Day, J. B. Satterlee. G. O. Vincent, W. S. Jones, .J. B. Thompson, A. G. Thompson, H. C. Fox, B. W. Jewell, B. P. Skinner, W. S. Martin, II. Harger, L. Rich, A. J. Collinge, JJames Shade, R. B. Lynn, Andrew Miller and James McFarland.
Officers were then voted for, with the following result: P. C., Col. George A. Day : S. V. C., J. B. Satterlee; J. V. V., G. O. Vineent : Adjt., B. W. Jewell ; Q. M., W. S. Jones: Surg., C. C. Bradley; Chap., II. C. Fox; O. D., J. B. Thompson; O. G., A. G. Thompson; Serg .- Maj., B. F. Skinner; Q. M .- Sergt., W. S. Martin.
The second meeting was held May 26th following, and another squad was mustered in, namely : A. Work, J. P. Wilson, A. Lightfoot, J. M. Garrison, G. G. Merrill, T. Scudder, D. K. Fox, S. W. Trenchard, A. J. Abbott, A. O. Moore, and A. C. Carter.

At one time W. A. Morse Post had over one hundred members and on the annual memorial day upon parade made a goodly showing, but as the years have gone by their ranks have become thinner and thinner until they can hardly muster a corporal's guard. The names of those who have served as post com- manders are here given: J. B. Satterlee, George H. Morrisey, George A. Day, George II. Morrisey, A. G. Thompson, B. F. Skinner, A. Lightfoot, C. O. Torrey, R. M. Marvin, A. J. Collinge, J. F. Merry, J. B. Satterlee, A. Dunham, C. B. Eaton, George Commerford, Peter Boardway, E. E. Newcomb, Abner Dunham, - Fleming, C. Bailey, A. B. Tirrill, G. M.

SOLDIERS' MONUMENT
The Soldiers' Moment in Oakland Cemetery was erected by the county in 1912, under the direction of a Soldiers' Monument Commission, selected by the Soldiers' Relief Commission and the board of supervisors. The monument commission consisted of Capt. J. F. Merry, chairman; R. M. Marvin, secretary ; Frank Mead and R. W. Tirrill.

HISTORY OF DELAWARE COUNTY
The monument was constructed and erected by the Capitol Hill Granite and Marble Works, of Des Moines, at a cost of $1,725. It is of Barre granite. height 20 feet, 6 inches; weight, about twenty-four tous. The designs on the second die represent the four branches of the service-infantry, cavalry, artil- lery and the navy. It is conceded by those who have seen it to be the most beautiful soldiers' monument in the state; and it might be added, that it is the first of this design to be erected in lowa. The same design for a soldiers' monument has since been followed for one erected at Strawberry Point, Clayton County, and also for one erected at Edgewood in this county, September 23, 1914. Capt. John F. Merry was also master of ceremonies at the unveiling of this last mentioned handsome memorial to the soldier dead. making the presen- tation address, while R. M. Marvin directed the unveiling.
CHAPTER X
THE MEDICAL PROFESSION
The pioneers of the healing art in Delaware County were the guardians of a widely dispersed population. Aside from their professional duties, they contributed their full share to the material development of a newly opened country. Some were men of culture, who had gained their medical education in college. Others were of limited educational attainments, whose professional knowledge had been acquired in the offices of established practitioners of more or less ability in the seetions from which they emigrated. Of either class almost without exception, they were practical men of great force of character who gave cheerful and efficacious assistance to the suffering. daily journeying on horseback scores of miles, over a country alnost destitute of roads and encounter- ing swollen, unbridged streams, without waterproof garments or other now common protection against the elements. Out of necessity the pioneer physician developed rare quickness of perception and self-reliance. A specialist was then unknown, and the physician was called upon to treat every phase of bodily ailment, serving as physician, surgeon, oculist and dentist. His books were few and there were no practitioners of more ability than himself with whom he might consult. His medicines were simple and carried on his person and every preparation of pill or solution was the work of his own hands.
During the summer and autumn of 1837. cases of bilious remitting fever occurred, which readily yielded to treatment. The winter following several cases of bilious pneumonia demanded prompt attendance and special vigilance in the observance of changes indicative of greater danger. These were the diseases and the principal ones which called for medical help up to the year 1849. Since that year, or from that period, the summer and autumnal fevers ceased to be epidemieal and pneumonia became less frequent. It may be well to mention here that the fevers of 1849, after the third or fourth day. assumed a typhoid character. the remission hardly observable, and the nervous depres- sion occasioning great anxiety.
It was probably Doctor Rush of Philadelphia-a great name up to about 1825-who said the lancet was a "sheet anchor" in all inflammatory diseases, so it might have been said of quinine, as used in remittent and intermittent fevers, in both the Mississippi and Missouri valleys from 1830 up to 1850. During that period 120,000 square miles west of the Mississippi and north of St. Louis became populated and all of it more or less malarions. In some of these years the demand for quinine was so great that the supply in the Ameri- van market became exhausted. "Sappington's pills" were indirectly the power which worked steamboats up the river from 1835 to 1843. They were verily. the "sheet anchor" not only aboard boats but in many households. Doctor

HISTORY OF DELAWARE COUNTY
Sappington was a regular allopathie physician of considerable ability, residing up the Missouri River, who thought it would be a benefaetion to the new civilization of the West to prepare quinine ready to be taken in the form of pills. Boxes of his pills contained four dozen each and the pellets two grains each. The direction on the box was to take from two to twenty, as the urgeney of the ease seemed to require, without reference to the stage of the paroxysm.
While the country was wild and settlements few, no physician licensed to practice his profession was obtainable in the country and the pioneer mothers were largely called upon to administer to the sick and ailing. Many of them beeame proficient in their homely way, using herbs and other remedies which in many cases proved their virtues. They also aeted as midwives and it was nothing peculiarly unusual for these brave, resourceful, sensible women to take in hand a patient suffering with a broken limb or wound and bring him or her safely through their troubles. Certain of the sterner sex, having no education or regular training for the practice of medicine, posed as doctors and practiced the healing art among their neighbors, some with more or less success.
Dr. Joseph W. Robbins was probably the first physician to loeate in Man- chester. After graduating from Geneva (New York) Medical College in 1852, he settled at Colesburg and remained there until 1855, when he removed to Manchester, then a town becoming of some importance, and hung out his shingle. He was a man of considerable ability and became quite successful in practice. Dr. John Acers had before this time located at Delaware Center, or Aeersville as it was more familiarly known. He practiced medicine, as did Doetor Hamlet, who located in Manchester in 1856.
Another early physician at Manchester was Dr. C. C. Bradley, now deceased. After locating here he soon gained in favor as an able physician and successful surgeon. He was successful and popular and built up a splendid business. He was also a soldier in the Civil war. In 1862 Dr. Walter B. Sherman located in Delaware County and graduated from the Cleveland Medical College in 1870. He began the practice of his profession in Manchester and became junior mem- ber of the firm of Bradley & Sherman.
Dr. Benjamin II. Reynolds was a native of the State of New York. He removed to Kankakee, Illinois, and enlisted there for the Civil war, serving nearly three years, after which he attended college at Ann Arbor, Michigan, and in March. 1866, came to Delaware County and located at Masonville. He took up his permanent residence in Manchester in 1873, where he successfully engaged in the practice of his chosen profession.
Among others of the early doctors in Manchester may be mentioned Drs. J. M. Lanning, John Aeers, W. A. Morse, S. W. Green.
Dr. Alfred Boomer was early in the practice in Delhi and was one of its most successful physicians. He was a good citizen, a prominent church man, and energetie in whatever he undertook to do.
Dr. S. Haskins, after serving in the Civil war as assistant surgeon of the Fourteenth Iowa Regiment, located at Earlville. He was a graduate of Bellevue College, in 1868. Doctor Haskins not only enjoyed a good practice, but also the contidence of the community.
149
HISTORY OF DELAWARE COUNTY
Dr. H. H. Pierce graduated from a medical school at Burlington, Vermont, in 1870. and before the end of the year was in the practice of his profession at Delaware, this county. He had quite a successful practice and held the office of county eoroner.
P. E. Triem was born in Canton. Ohio, January 17, 1850. During his infancy his parents moved to Will County, Illinois. At the age of fourteen he entered Northwestern College at Plainsfield, Illinois, from which institution he graduated in the spring of 1872. Soon afterwards he commenced the study of medieine at Naperville. Illinois, and subsequently, at Laporte, Iowa; he then entered Hahnemann Medical College at Chicago, graduating in March, 1874. He began practice at Laporte, Iowa, and continued there until 1879, when he eame to Manchester. Iowa, and engaged in the practice of medicine for the remainder of his life. In August, 1877. he married Mary A. Dewey, of Lockport, Illinois. Two children were born to them, Paul and Flora. Ile was a member of the Congregational church, an Odd Fellow and Modern Woodman, and a man of sterling worth. Doctor May who, for several years, was associated with Doctor Triem, says that he was considered one of the most successful homeopathic physicians in the state. He died in the State of Washington a few years since, leaving many to sincerely mourn his loss.
Dr. George Harwood, a native of England, after traveling pretty nearly , over the globe, settled at Masonville in 1877, and in connection with W. E. Lawrenee opened a drug store. He practiced his profession there.
Dr. W. H. Finley was one of the early practitioners at Hopkinton. He was a graduate of the State Medical College at Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1858, and in January of the following year began the practice of his profession at Hopkin- ton. He was for 216 years assistant surgeon of the Twelfth Iowa Volunteer Infantry and then a surgeon of the Eighth Iowa Cavalry. After the war he resumed practiee at Hopkinton.
Dr. Stephen Cummings was another physician who made a success of his profession among the siek and ailing of that town. He loeated here in 1858, eoming from his first field of professional activities in Illinois at that time. He was assistant surgeon of the Fourth Iowa Cavalry in the Civil war and after the close of hostilities, was given charge of a hospital in Macon, Georgia. He then returned to Hopkinton and resumed the practice, becoming very suc- cessful.
The foregoing is not by any means a complete account of the valiant men of intellect. learning in their chosen field of endeavor, and expertness, who had the hardihood to leave comfortable homes in the East and brave the unknown, sparsely settled prairie villages of Delaware County. There were others who came here and got a foothold within the confidenee of the people and made a living, precarious at first, but always having a moiety of hopefulness for the future. There were men of character and high standing who remained but a short time and then sought other fields for the exercise of their talents. Some made the county their permanent home, locating in the various towns, raising families and accumulating a greater or less share of this world's goods. But the names not mentioned of these worthy men of the healing art have not been obtainable. That accounts for the absence of them in this chapter.
150
IHISTORY OF DELAWARE COUNTY
However, the following names have been supplied by Dr. H. A. Dittmer, of physicians who were early in the practice in this county : Dr. Robert M. Wade, of Masonville, who was also a minister of the gospel, was born in England, but moved with his parents to Dublin when fifteen years of age, and eventually entered Wesleyan and Trinity Colleges. He next became a student at the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Steven's Green. The young physician then, in 1865, crossed the Atlantic and became a citizen of lowa, locating at Tipton, where he joined the Methodist Episcopal conference, and became active in the pulpit and the practice of his profession in Tama City. Some years later he took up the practice at Masonville, this county.
Dr. N. S. Craig was for many years one of Delaware County's leading physicians. For a time he was associated with Dr. B. H. Reynolds and later with Dr. John Lindsay. He is now located at Jennings, Louisiana, and has a large and Inerative practice. The supervising editor of this history has a warm place in his heart for Doctor Craig as after a thirteen weeks' illness the doctor by his skillful eare and nursing saved his life.
Dr. Richard Stedman was long in the practice at Colesburg, locating there in 1855. Ile was a graduate of the Syracuse Medical College, and enjoyed the confidence of a large elientele.
George II. Fuller attended lectures at Ann Arbor Medical School and gradu- " ated at the Chicago Medical College in 1869. Ile took up the practice at Delhi in 1873 and afterwards was the government's physician at the Crow Indian Agency, of Idaho. Ile resumed the practice at Delhi in 1877.
Dr. William F. Davis graduated from Bellevue Hospital, New York City, in 1868, and began the practice of his profession at Greeley in 1876. building up an extensive practice.
The name of Lindsay is closely associated with the early history of Dela- ware County, and will not be permitted to go into oblivion. in these parts at least. as a beautiful stream and grove in Honey Creek Township, often are designated by the name of Lindsay. after one of the first settlers in the com- munity. Dr. J. J. Lindsay is a son of that old pioneer and for many years has been successfully practicing his profession of medicine in Manchester. ITis reputation as a physician and surgeon places him in the front rank of the fra- ternity in this county.
Dr. John A. May is also the son of an early settler. He has been in the practice at Manchester a number of years and has a large and paying clientele.
Other physicians in the practice at Manchester are H. M. Bradley, T. J. Burns and the firm of Wilson & Byers-Norman Wilson and B. HI. Byers.
An extended sketch of the Doctors Dittmer will be found in the second volume of this history.
DELAWARE COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY
The old records of the Delaware County Medical Society supply the names of men who engaged in the practice of medicine in Delaware County in the early days not already mentioned, as will be seen later on. This society was organized March 3, 1856. On that day the following "Regular physicians of Delaware County," Albert Boomer. John Acers, John F. Stout, Albert E.
151
HISTORY OF DELAWARE COUNTY
Smith, Joshua Doran, E. C. Taylor and James Wright, assembled under a call at Delhi, for the purpose of organizing a county medical association. Dr. John Acers was placed in the chair and Dr. Albert Boomer was made secretary. A constitution and code of by-laws were adopted and the name chosen was the Delaware County Medieal Society. The constitution was signed by Drs. 1. B. Ames, J. F. Stout. C. S. Ward and Thomas C. Magee. After its adoption officers were elected for the ensuing year, whose names follow: President, Albert E. Smith : vice presidents, John Aeers and J. Doran; recording seere- tary. Albert Boomer: corresponding secretary. J. F. Stout; censors. Doetors Smith. Stout and Doran : essayists, Doctors Stout and Doran.
In the evening of the day mentioned the new society assembled at the court- house in Delhi and was addressed by Doctors Smith, Doran, Acers and Wright.
From time to time new members were added to the roll of the society. Among them may be mentioned Drs. James Wright. J. W. Robbins. W. II. Finley. W. A. Morse, J. M. Lanning. A. A. Noyes. C. H. Rawson, Lyman .J. Adair, C. C. Bradley. David Leroy. W. D. Stannard. L. H. Keyes. Alexander Wiltse, B. 11. Reynolds. W. B. Sherman, Lewis Blanchard, George I]. Fuller. (. O. Paquin, Stephen Cummings. H. II. Pierce. Milo Blodgett.
This society is still in existence. although at intervals interest in its objects and by-laws have lapsed and months and even years have been permitted to roll around withont regular meetings of the society. That condition exists at the present day. The society may be said not to be active, as a long time has elapsed since its last meeting.
