CHAPTER XXVIII.

MEDICAL PROFESSION IN HUDSON COUNTY.

PRIOR to Feb. 27. 1840, Hudson t'ounty formed a pur- tion of the county of Bergen, and its medical history, independent of that county and the neighboring county uf I'ssix, is necessarily of very recent date. Its terri- tury is smaller than that of any other county in the State, and its entire population in 1840 was but 943ti. No distinct medical society existed here before Isil, in which year, on the 13th of May, the present society was instituted. I'ntil that time the territory of the Passair District Medical Society extended over Hud- will County. On the organization of the District Medical Society of Hudson County, in 15], the names of thirty-seven members were enrolled. In 1>>3 the number enrolled is found to be forty-one. In owner- tion with this last statement, it may be interesting to compare the total number of physicians registered in each county with the number belonging to their respective District Medical Societies, and in order to lo this the report of the State Board of Health for 1>>3 and the Transactions of the state Medical So- riety for the same year have been used.

The number of physicians belonging to the Sussex Society is somewhat extraordinary, especially if the whole number registered be taken into consideration. In the other counties the average number of society members is abont one-third of the number registered. The Hudson County District Medical Society was at the height of its prosperity in 1874, when it had sixty members, a larger number than that of any other society in the State. The next year, however, the number of its members decreased to forty, and in 1879 was reduced to twenty-seven. During the last three years its number has remained at forty-one.

Within the territory of Iludson County, while it still formed a part of Bergen County, resided several eminent physicians, whose names are favorably associ- ated with the early medical history of the State, but concerning some of them very little of a personal nature can be ascertained. The same thing is true in regard to a large number of physicians who have resided in Hudson t'ounty during the last forty or fifty years. Many of them have practiced there but a short time and then removed, while others have died without leaving for the future historian any record of their lives.

Belleville. and who was a surgeon in the British army during the Revolutionary war. On assuming the responsibilities of a physician, Dr. Hornblower began, in 1789, to practice in the town of Bergen, now a part of Jersey City. The territory over which he traveled in the discharge of his professional duties included all of Hudson County as now described, Oh! Hackensack and Fort Lee and the northern end of Staten Island. For more than eighteen years there were but two physicians besides himself in that dis- triet. In the war of 1812 he was appointed a sur- goon in the L'uited States army, and was assigned to duty on Governor's Island and at the arsenal in Ber-

gen. In 1828 to 1832 he was professor of the prac- tice of medicine in Rutgers Medical College. Until 1844 he continued actively engaged in practice, and died May 8, 1848, leaving two sons, Josiah and William, both of whom became physicians. One of his brothers was the late Joseph t'. Hornblower, chief justice of New Jersey.

JOHN MESIER CORNELISON was born April 29, 1802, in the old town of Bergen. Hudson Co., N. J., and was the son of Rev. John Cornelison, pastor of the Dutch Reformed Church of that place for thirty- five years. His preparatory education was obtained in Columbia Academy of his native place, and having subsequently entered Union College, he was graduated therefrom in 1822. Ile soon after began the study of medicine in the office of Dr. Valentine Mott, and in 1825 received his degree of M.D., from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of New York. On entering upon the practice of his profession he opened an othee at Bergen, but his field of labor extended from Bergen Point to Bull's Ferry, including Hoboken and Paulus Hook, and there were but two physicians besides himself within all that territory. In 1840 he removed to Jersey ('ity proper, retaining, however, his old practice, and continuing active therein until 1862, when he withdrew from professional labors.

Notwithstanding his large practice and his devotion thereto, Dr. Cornelison found time for the discharge of publie duties, and accordingly we find him, in 1832, a member of the State General Assembly. In 1851 he was appointed by Governor Fort one of the lay judges of the Court of Errors and Appeals, to fill the four years' unexpired term of Hon. Garret Wall. On the expiration of this term he was reappointed for JOSIAH HORNBLOWER, son of Josiah Hornblower, an engineer, who came from England to America about the year 1753 for the purpose of erecting a steani-engine at the copper mines then belonging to Col. John Schuyler, near Belleville, N. J., was born in that place May 23, 1767. His elementary education six years, and thereafter for another term of six years, thus holding this important position for a period of sixteen years. Prior to the breaking out of the Rebellion he had been a stanch Democrat, but after that event he took his stand in support of the " war measures of the government, and ultimately was obtained under the direction of his father, who, i became a warm Republican. In 1869 he retired from though not liberally educated, was a great student, and especially devoted to scientific investigations. At a suitable age young Josiah entered on the study of medicine with Dr. Thomas Steele, who, as far as can be known, was the earliest established physician in | chairman.

the bench, and was soon after elected mayor of Ber- gen, to which place he had returned after withdraw- ing from practice in 1862. In 1873 he was appointed a member of the Board of Works, and was made its At the time of his death, which occurred May 24 1875, he was president of the board of regents of the Hudson County Hospital.

JOSIAH HORNBLOWER, son of Dr. Josiah Horn- blower above noticed, was born at Bergen, N. J., Aug. 7, 1792. lle studied medicine with Dr. Valentine Mott, and was graduated from Rutgers Medical Col- lege, New York, in 1823. Soon afterwards he became associated in practice with his father, giving promise of the highest skill as a surgeon, but unfortunately he contracted pneumonia, which resulted in hasty con- sumption, and terminated his life Jan. 23, 1824. Ile left a widow and four children.

His father and grandfather were both educated men and lawyers, though it does not appear that esther of them ever engaged in the practice of law Thomas Brown Gautier was a graduate of Columbia College, and in 1823 received the degree of M D., from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of New York. The same degree was again conferred apon him by Rutgers College in 1831. He began the practice of his profession in Bergen where he remainel until 1:35, when he removed to Jersey City. Here he con- tinned to practice with great success until the time of his death, which occurred Dec. 23, 1845.

Dr. tiautier married, in 1516, Elizabeth, daughter of Dr. Josiah Hornblower, by whom he had eight chil dren, the second being Josiah Hornblower Gautier, who also became a physician, and is elsewhere noticed in this volume.

SILAS L. Coxpter was born in Morristown, N. J .. in August 1805. His father was Dr. Lewis Condiet, who was eminent not only as a physician, but as a statesman, having been from 1805 to 1810 a member of the State General Assembly, and from Isil to 1817, also from 1821 to 1833, a Representative in the United States t'ongress. Young Silas received such a thorough preparatory education that he was able to enter the junior class of the College of New Jer- sey, and was graduated from that institution in I>24. He began inuediately afterwards the study of medi- cine with his father, and in 1826-27 attended his first course of medical lectures in New York. In 1527 he entered the office of Dr Thomas Sewall, in Washington City, and attended a second course of lectures, re- ceiving the degree M.D., in March, 1828. For the first two years after graduating he practiced medi- cine in his native place, and then removed to New- town, Long Island, where he entered into partnership with Dr. Ezekiel Ostrander. Here he suffered so much from miasmatie disease that he was unable to attend to his professional duties, and consequently returned to Morristown, whence, after a few years, he removed to Jersey City.

Dr. Condict was a zealous laborer in the cause of temperance. He was among the earliest members of the order of the Sons of Temperance, and took a very Ively interest in that organization. Of Fidelity Division in Jersey t'ity he was several tintes the presiding officer. He became a tirand Worthy Pa- triarch of the order in the State of New Jersey, and finally the head of the order in North Amer- iva. About a month before his death he stated his views in relation to the diseases and condition of inebriates before the State Medical Society, to which he was a delegate, and urged upon the society the propriety of memorializing the Legislature in favor of establishing an inebriate asylum by the State. The mutter was favorably receive l and a committee

WILLIAM T. V. II. HORNBLOWER brother of the last-tuentioned Josiah Hornblower, was born at Ber ren, N. J., Oct. 22, 1509. He studied medicine under the supervision of Professor John B. Beck of New York, and after a thorough | reparation matriculated at the College of Physicians and Surgeon- of that city, and was graduated therefi an March 1832. Soon there- after he returned to his native place, and entered upon the practice of his profession in partnership with his father, whose field of labor extended from Bergen Point to English Neighborhood. In 1544, the father, being well advanced in years, retired from ac- tive service, and the business devolved upon the son. who continued to conduct it alone for two years after the father's death, which occurred in Ists. In Isio. Dr. Hornblower removed to Dinois, where he engage I in agricultural pursuits. Of these, however, he grew weary, and in 1853 returned to his native place and r - sumed the practice of his profession, in which he con- tinned until near the tinwe of his death, which occurred AApril 3, 1851. He was highly esteemed as a physi- cian and greatly beloved for his deeds of charity to the poor and his manifold kindness to every one. He left two sons who became physicians, -Josiah and Theodore Romeyn, both of whom are elsewhere noticed in this volume.

CHARLES S. SHELTON was born in Huntington. Fairfield to., Com., Aug. 28, 1811. He was gradu- ated from Yale College in 1840, and subsequently received the degree of M. D., from the Medieal De- partment of the same institution. The carly years of his professional career were spent as a missionary physician and surgeon in India, in the service of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Mis- sions. In this field of labor his health became so much impaired that he was obliged to return to his native country. In 1856 (about a year after leaving India) he repaired to Davenport, Iowa, whence, after remaining three years, he removed to Springfield, Ill. Here he continued to practice until 1867, with the exception of the years Isol and 1862, during which time he served as a surgeon in the Union army.

In the year 1867, Dr. Shelton became converted to the teachings of the homeopathic school, and settling in Jersey City, Jagan to practice in accordance there- with. He was very successful, and was also highly estremed by all who knew him, but his health, which had been so injured during his residence in India, gradually gave way entirely, and he finally died, greatly lamented, May 21, 1879.

JOSIAH HORNBLOWER GHAUTIER, son of Dr. Thomas Brown tiautier, elsewhere noticed in this volume, was born in Bergen, Hudson Co., N. J., Nov. 12. 1815. He was educated at the University of New York, and in 1943 was graduated from the Medical Department

of that iustitution. Soon after graduation he settled as a practitioner in Jersey City, where he continued in the work of his profession until 1853. During these ten years he won a high reputation as a physi- cian. but finally retired from practice in order to engage in business pursuits. In accordance with this desigu, he formed a connection with Joseph Dixon in the crucible works in Jersey City, and subse- quently became interested in the steel works in the same place. He is now the leading partner in the firm of J. Il. Gautier & Co. and of Gautier, Parker & Co.

THEODORE ROMEYN VARICK, M.D., was born June 24, 1525, in Dutchess County, N. Y. His father, John Vredenburgh Varick, was a native of New York City. Ilis mother, Anna Maria Romeyn Varick, belonged to the Romyne family of Hackensack, N.J. Members of that family have for the last three generations min- istered to the congregation of the Reformed Dutch Church in that place, and the pulpit is at present tilled by one of them, His great-uncle, Col. Richard Varick, leaving his profession, that of the law, enrolled him- self during the Revolutionary war among his country's defenders, and was attached to Gen. Benedict Arnold's statl' at the time of the traitor's defection. Subsequently Col. Varick became private secretary to Washington and continued in that office until the close of the war. Ile way recorder of New York City from 1783 to 1788, being also from 1787 to 1788 member of Assembly. From 1788 to 1789 he served as Attorney-General of the State of New York. In the latter year he was elected mayor of the city of New York, holding that otlice for eleven consecutive years. He died in 1831, " full of years and honors," and was buried at Hack- en-ack. In 1832, Dr. Varick's father removed to Jersey City, occupying as a country residence Col. Varick's old homestead and remaining there until hi- death in 1835. In 1845 the family removed to New York, returning to Jersey City in 1848. In 1541, Theodore R. Varick entered the Collegiate Department of the New York University, and in 1543 began the study of medicine in the same in- 'itution, graduating in 1846, before attaining his twenty-first year. Soon after graduation he received an appointment as assistant physician in the New York Dispensary, corner White and C'entre Streets, | and the following year became one of the corps of attending physicians, serving in that capacity for two years. During this period (1847) the ship fever pre- vailed as an epidemic, and three out of a medical staff of six succumbing to the disease, fell martyrs to their noble profession. In the fall of 1848 he returned to Jersey City, where he has since resided. In ISI he became one of the incorporators of the District Medi- cal Society of Hudson County, N. J., and is at the present time, with our exception, the only surviving charter member. In 1853 he was elected a member of the American Medical Association. He is also a fel- low of the New Jersey State Medical Society, and was its president in 1864. In that er pacity he addressed
