HISTORY OF CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY, N. Y.
benefits to Jamestown and vicinity from -street car service and accommoda- tions ; but when we remember the dilapidated structures, fences that had been land-marks for ages, and even forests bordering upon the old village limits which have yielded to this advance; the acres of land divided and subdivided and again cut up into pieces and measured off by feet and inches for building accommodations, the magnificent dwellings erected as by magic, and the numerous streets and highways opened and reduced to public service within our corporation limits and adjacent thereto, the manufacturing estab- lishments, business houses, banking institutions, places for religious worship and edudational instruction, our increase in population from 10,000 to over 20,000 souls, and with all our comparatively rapid advance from municipal infancy (through childhood to our teens), with our present vigorous strength and courage to press on to manhood-when we realize all these things, and much else that have come to us since the beginning of our railway, we are not insensible to its demands for honorable mention and worthy approval. The few men who have stood at the helm with money and advice to help on this enterprise will not be forgotten in its history, while what there may have been of jealousy, envy or personal ambition, to giory at their downfall, long since passed into oblivion to be forgotten.
It were not just to close this record without special reference to president Ahmet N. Broadhead, by whom our railway interests have been managed for many years ; whose unceasing energy, business ability and manly pluck have ever made him first and foremost ; like a brave soldier, his presence las been in the thickest and hardest of the fight. Today, as ever since placed on duty, he remains unswerved in purpose and unintimidated in action. In his judgment durability, convenience and beauty are the trio of elements that should be embodied in street-car service, all of which are marked features in the Jamestown plant.
We know not what the future may have in store for this corporation, nor do we credit it for all our glories past, but our advance and its progress have been closely allied; and, as its cars found their way along our streets to city limits, new life was awakened and a character of energy aroused in marked contrast from what before existed. "Booms" in real estate have kept alive the spirit of trade, and sales and exchange indicated prosperous growth and general thrift. These facts are records of the past ; and, when the future shall have learned the history of Jamestown, and can- vassed the causes contributory to its unprecedented prosperity, we believe no helper will be found more worthy or rise higher in popular estimation than the Jamestown Street Railway Company.

P HYSICIANS .- The first few years after Judge Prendergast came to this undeveloped country, he, having the requisite knowledge, admin- istered to the sick, and, assisted by his wife, a most lovable and sym- pathetic woman, they were attentively and skillfully cared for; and "from the first settlement up to November 9, 1815, there was not a death at the Rapids." Dr. Elial T. Foote* came in the spring of 1815, and was followed in June by Dr. Laban Hazeltine. For many years they were the only phy- sicians. Dr. Hazeltine was born in Wardsboro, Vt., August 7, 1789, and married, in 1813, Content Flagler, a native of Dutchess county. He received a fine medical education, and to the time of his death, May 4, 1852, was in constant practise of his profession here. He was a successful practitioner, a highly esteemed citizen, a christian, and a cultured scholar, and "the med- ical profession lost in him a wise counselor, and society a most valuable member." His sons attaining maturity were Gilbert W. and Richard F.

He resigned in 1842 and came to Jamestown where he resided until his death April 24, 1893. In 1843 he married Eliza Caroline Boss of Forestville. Mrs. Hazeltine died August 20, 1860. Dr. Hazeltine then married Susan S. Fish, who survives him. Soon after Dr. Hazeltine's return to Jamestown he commenced practice and attained great success. His name will be longest perpetuated in connection with his book, the "Early History of Ellicott," published in 1887.
Dr. William Proudfit, father of William H. Proudfit, "a thoroughly edu- cated, active and ambitious physician," came to Jamestown in January 1832. He thought the people were " too few and too healthy," and only remained long enough to woo and wed Maria, daughter of Elmer Freeman. He soon after removed to Milwaukee and died in 1843. Mrs. Proudfit returned with her cliildren to Jamestown.
