VI. Henry, removed to Columbus, O.

Johannes Hinneon-Hendrick-Hessel-Hendrick-Cornelis Doremus and Aultye Zabriskie had one child:

I. Henderic, b. June 4, 1801; m. Harriet Fairbanks, May 12, 1844, in New York city; d. Aug. 14, 1889, at Salt Lake City, Utah; she was b. March 28, 1819, prob. at Mountain View; d. March 10, 1880, at Salt Lake City. She is described as being "as noble a woman as ever lived." He was known as Henry I. Doremus. His father dying when he was only two years old, Henry was brought up by his grandparents. When five years old he was sent to school, and at the age of ten began to work on a farm. When 18 he was apprenticed to a carpenter. In 1821 he began teach- ing school, which was thereafter his life occupation. In 1825 he had charge of the academy at Paterson Landing (now Passaic). Desiring further self-improvement, in 1827 he became a private student of the Rev. H. M. Perrine, at Bloomfield; the following year he studied in the Bloomfield academy, and in October, 1829, he entered Princeton col- lege, where he graduated in the class of 1832. During the following season, 1832-33, he taught at Edenton, N. C., and in 1833-35, in the Hackensack academy. In 1836 he studied medicine with the late Dr. Benjamin B. Aycrigg, of Passaic, and attended medical lectures in Jefferson col- lege, at Philadelphia, in the winter of 1836-37. He did not persevere in his ambition to become a physician, however, and spent the next two years on a farm. In 1840 he made a trip to the west, and on his return took up his residence in New York city, in 1842. On Oct. 23, 1843, he was bap- tized into the "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" (Mormons), in that city. In 1844 he married and removed to Nauvoo, Ills., then the headquarters of the Mormon prophet, Joseph Smith. When Smith was assas- sinated, June 27, 1844, and the Mormons driven out of Nauvoo, and in turn expelled from Missouri, Henry I. Doremus shared in the persecutions of his fellow "Saints," with all the ardor of a new convert, and was among the first of the emigrants to Salt Lake, where he arrived on Nov. I, 1847, after indescribable hardships. With zeal and energy

he engaged in the founding of the Mormon empire in that valley, the building of the "New Jerusalem" of the "Saints," and the development of education among the community. In 1856 he was sent on a mission to Great Britain, returning June 24, 1858. . The following winter he opened a school in Salt Lake City. For twelve years (1862-74) he conducted the Union Academy in that city, it being the chief educational institution of the Territory in its time. Even when nearly ninety years of age he was bright and active in body and mind, and could say that he had never been ill a single day. With his remarkable experience in this respect, it was scarcely to be wondered at that he "believed a man could resist disease,, obtain power through faith to heal himself, and also impart the same to others."1 Nevertheless, he did succumb at last, and the life begun in the peaceful Goffle home, and which had witnessed such strange vicissitudes of mind and soul struggles, and physical hardships, ended in Salt Lake City, which he had seen built up on a desert plain, until it had become one of the fairest cities in the country. It may be added that some years before his decease he was excom- municated by the Mormon church, for non-conformity to the tenets of that sect-particularly for his refusal longer to recognize the leaders of the church as the inspired agents and representatives of the Divinity.

Draper in the medical depart- ment of the University, which position he held for seven years, when he graduated from that department. In 1850 he was one of the founders of the New York Medical Col- lege, and at his own expense arranged and equipped the first laboratory in the United States for instructing medical

students in analytical chemistry. Since 1861 he has been Professor of Chemistry and Toxicology in Bellevue Hospital Medical College, and since 1862 has been Professor of Chemistry and Physics in the College of the City of New York.

He has been employed as an expert chemist in innumerable murder trials, especial- ly in cases of poisoning, and has led the way to the adop- tion of more comprehensive and scientific methods in such cases. His testimony at the trial of Libbie Garrabrant for the poisoning of Ransom Burroughs, at Paterson, in 1871, was in the nature of a brilliant scientific lecture, when he demonstrated before the jury in open court, the methods by which he had determined the presence of strychnine in the body of the murdered man.
