(VIII) Dr. John Merrick Bemis, son of Dr. Merrick Bemis (7), born at Worcester, Massachu- setts. February 14, 1860. The life work of Dr. Bemis has been so completely merged and identified with that of his father for the past twenty years, at Herbert Hall, that what has been said as to the attainments of the father as a physician and special- ist applies equally well to the son. He was edu- cated from the start as a specialist, and had 1In- usual opportunities for practice and hospital study. He attended the Worcester schools. Before gradu- ating he left the high school to prepare for col- lege at Phillips Andover Academy, but was obliged, by poor health at that time, to leave the academy, and he studied at home for three years under pri- vate tutors. He attended medical lectures at the Harvard Medical College in Boston and at the Burlington University (Vermont) Medical Depart- ment. where he received his diploma in 1893. He had been an active assistant to his father at Her- bert Hall for some years; before and after grad- uation he returned to the hospital where he has been actively engaged in the management and treat-

ment of patients ever since. He has continued his studies with the intention of keeping up the times. He has studied at Harvard and Clark universities from time to time and written papers for various learned societies. His specialty, of course, has been mental diseases. Herbert Hall, of which he is now, since his father's death, owner and manager, is the only private hospital in the state devoted to insane patients exclusively, except the McLean Hospital, which is in a class by itself. Herbert Hall is char- tered by the state and under the state supervision. It ranks high among the institutions of its kind.

Dr. Bemis has devoted his time almost exclusively to the hospital. He is trustee of the Baldwinville Hospital Cottages for Children. He is on the edu- cation committee of the Highland Military Academy, of Worcester; a member of the Massachusetts Med- ical Society, the Worcester Medical Society, the American Psychological Society and the New Eng- land Psychological Society. In religion he is an Episcopalian. He married June 25, 1887, Fannie Bishop Brown, of Andover, Massachusetts, daugh- ter of John Brown, for many years druggist at Andover, Massachusetts. He was born at New- buryport in 1809; died at Andover in 1886. Her mother was Emily Fiske. daughter of Eben Fiske, born at Roxbury. Massachusetts, June 24, 1819. re- sided many years at New Orleans, Louisiana. She is living (1905), remarkably active and well for her years. She is related to the Willards, cele- brated as clockmakers in the colonial days. Chil- dren of Dr. Bemis are: I. Annie Merrick, born October 1, 1888. 2. Caroline Gilmore, born May 25, 1891.

Daniel Webster Bemis, son of Samuel Flagg Bemis, and brother of Dr. Merrick Bemis, late of Worcester, was born in Charlton, Massachusetts. April 21, 1835. He obtained his early education in the public schools of Brookfield, Massachusetts. After leaving school he entered the employ of the Hospital for the Insane on Summer street, Wor- cester, of which Dr. Merrick Bemis was the super- intendent. He was appointed steward and filled this position for twenty years. For seven years he was also treasurer of the hospital. In the early seventies he bought a farm in Shrewsbury, and hay- ing resigned his position at the hospital devoted his attention to farming since then. With a natural aptitude for agriculture and horticulture, Mr. Bemis has lived quietly and enjoyably upon his farm in the picturesque old town of Shrewsbury. He has an excellent farm well stocked and well conducted.

Mr. Bemis represented Worcester in the gen- eral court in his younger days and assisted in the passage of the bill to locate the Hospital for the Insane at Bloomingdale in Worcester. The site has proved an ideal place for an institution of this kind, which has grown very rapidly and for which there is ample opportunity for growth. Mr. Bemis was prominent in Masonic circles when a citi- zen of Worceser. He has taken the Blue Lodge, the Royal Arch chapter, the council and the com- mandery degrees in the York Rite degrees. He was elected to take the Scottish Rite degrees also in Worcester. He has been high priest of the chapter and held all the elective offices in that body. Since living in Shrewsbury, Mr. Bemis has served the town for twenty years on the school commit- tee. He is deeply interested in educational mat- ters, has taken an active part in town affairs, and served three years on the board of assessors and has. been a sclectman. He is an active member of the Congregational church and Sunday school, and has for a number of years been a deacon. He is a Re- publican in politics. No citizen in Shrewsbury is.
