Hoyt of Northfield, whose daughter he married, and commenced practice in Canterbury, but after a few years removed to Sandwich, where he became second to no man in his profession in Carroll county. He was a prominent Odd Fellow, a leader of the Free-Soil party in his section of the State, and in all respects a man of great influence. A man of strong faith in the gospel, his prayers accom- panied his medicines, and he filled the pulpit of the Free Will Baptist Church at Effingham very creditably for six months. His home was the abode of peace and plenty, where people of culture and refinement delighted to spend an evening in congenial society. He was always dignified, though mirthful, and of a sanguine tem- perament, which made him a favorite with all classes. One morning bidding his usual good-by to his wife and little son, he went to visit a patient. He returned to look on the bloody form of his lovely boy, shot dead by a half-foolish street vagrant. From that sad hour a great change passed over him. His friends feared the loss of reason. He lost his hopeful, joyous nature, and became sub- ject to fits of the deepest melancholy. Under this blow he began to indulge in drink, till the habit gained complete mastery over him, and he was never more than a wreck of his former self. His wife having died, he remarried, and came to Rochester in 1872. He at once secured a large practice, and ranked high in his profession. He died in Rochester Jan. 11, 1884, leaving a widow and several children.
