He married Sarah Woodbury, daughter of Hon. James Osgood Pettengill of Rochester, who, as a leg- islator, and as an officer and patron of the Rochester Theological Seminary and other institutions of learn- ing, is well known in Western New York. His father, Captain James Pettengill, came from Salisbury, N. H., and settled at Ogden, Monroe County, in the early part of the present century. The ancestors of the various families of this name were four brothers, Matthew, David, Andrew and Benjamin, who came from Yorkshire, England, in 1640, and settled in Newburyport, Mass., whence they removed to Salis- bury. The mother of Mrs. Scribner was Emeline, daughter of Manlius G. Woodbury, who was an early settler and was made alderman in the first charter election in the city of Rochester.

Mr. Scribner has six surviving children,-Gilbert Hilton, Jr., Howard, Florence, Marion, Marguerite and Osgood Pettengill.

CHAUNCEY SMITH.

Phillip Smith was born in Connecticut, March 15, 1774, and married Sally Smith November 23, 1799. She was a granddaughter of Benjamin Stebbins, who came from England and settled in Deerfield, Mass., and was probably the ancestor of the families of that name in this country. Phillip and Sally Smith lo- cated shortly after their marriage at Bedford, West- chester County, N. Y., and were members of the old Episcopal Church of that place. They were parents of eight children, of whom Chauncey Smith was the sixth and was born November 10, 1810.

Bedford was then the county-seat and a place of no small importance; in fact, the principal village of the county. Mr. Smith at an early age entered the High School and academy at Bedford, which was an insti- tution of note, second to none in the State, and in- cluded among its pupils Hon. William H. Robertson, Hon. James W. Husted and many others of distinc- tion. A short time after graduating he studied law, and was admitted to the bar January 7, 1851.

He married Hannah, daughter of John P. Horton, of New Castle, Westchester County, whose wife was Elizabeth Fowler, both descended from old West- chester County families.

Elizabeth was a first cousin of Isaac Van Wart, who was one of the captors of Major Andre. Mr. Smith moved to White Plains and was appointed deputy

county clerk in 1847, and appointed county clerk the same year, to fill a vacancy.

In January, 1847 or 1848, he was appointed agent of Sing Sing State Prison, and after leaving Sing Sing practiced law in White Plains for several years.

He removed to Morrisania shortly after the settle- ment of the new village, about thirty years ago, and opened a law-office where he continued successfully the practice of his profession up to the winter of 1877, when he was compelled to give up business on account of a paralytic stroke. He was an old-school type of a Christian gentleman, highly respected in all the walks of life, and active in the true interests of the society and community in which he lived. He was inti- mately acquainted with, and highly respected by. the men who were first con- nected with the growth and prosperity of Mor- risania, such as Nicholas McGraw, Jordan L. Mott, Gouverneur, Henry and William H. Morris, Rob- ert H. Elton, Hon. Silas D. Gifford and many others and was well known throughout the county. He was naturally of a retiring disposition, and although often urged to accept public office, he refused. He continued an invalid from 1877 to his death, which occurred December 25, 1883, at the homestead in which he had resided for more than twenty-five years. He left two daughters and one sou, W. Stebbins Smith, who is a member of the bar, in active prae- tice, particularly in the counties of New York and Westchester. Mr. Smith studied law in the office of his father and attended the Columbia College Law School, from which institution he received his diploma, and was admitted to the bar June 12, 1871.

EDWARD TRAFFORD LOVATT.

Mr. Lovatt was born May 22, 1850, at Newark, N. J. His father was John Lovatt and his mother Mary Ann Lovatt. He was the eldest of six children. Educated both in the ordinary English branches and in the classics in the public schools of that city, hc graduated with high honors at the Public High School when he was but fifteen years old, receiving his diploma on July 21, 1865. He then went to the city of New York and began life as an errand boy in a

wholesale fancy goods house, but his parents having removed, on May 23, 1866, to the village of North Tarrytown, in Westchester County, he entered his father's silk mills, in that village, to learn silk manu- facture, and acquired a thorough knowledge of that industry.

On May 22, 1871, he married Miss Sarah Theodosia Tompkins, a descendant of one of the most respected families of Westchester County, she being a grand- niece of the Hon. Daniel D. Tompkins, formerly Governor of New York and Vice-President of the United States.

For several years after marriage Mr. Lovatt re- mained at his trade, but it being distasteful to him he determined to become a lawyer, which had always been his great ambition. In order to do this, not having the means to at- tend college, he laid out the same course of reading as he would have been re- quired to take if attending law school, and while busy in the mills during the day, pursued his studies at night and early in the morning, thus mastering the many thousands of pages of legal text works necessary to a thorough understanding of the prin- ciples of law. Entering a . law-office in Tarrytown, he completed the three years' clerkship then ne- cessary for a student's ad- mission to practice. On February 14, 1878, he passed the prescribed ex- amination, was sworn in as an attorney-at- law, and in May, 1878, was admitted as a Counsellor of the Supreme Court. His energy, perseverance and knowledge of the law soon gave him a leading place in his profession at the Westchester County bar.

Chauncey/ Smith

He has been engaged in numerous cases of import- ance, both in the criminal and civil courts, many of which have been reported. He has been remarkably successful as an advocate. Among the many cases in the criminal courts in which he was counsel for the defense, some of the more prominent murder trials were those of William Newman, Fitzgerald, Brown- lee, Coleman and Angelo Cornetti, the last-nanicd being the first tried in this State under the amend- ments to the Code of Criminal Procedure, by which all capital cases can be appealed and execution of sentence thereby stayed until the appeal can be heard.

HISTORY OF WESTCHESTER COUNTY.

He has also tried a great number of civil causes and has met with unusual success. He was one of the counsel in the famous " Anderson Will Case," in which a large sum of mouey was recovered for his clients,-two little girls, aged ten and twelve years, grandchildren of John Anderson.

He has built up an extensive aud lucrative prac- tice, has acquired property, and his pleasaut and modest house on Beekman Avenue, North Tarrytowu, is provided with all the surroundings and appoint- ments necessary to make it, what it certainly is, a happy home.

No person in his neigh- borhood takes a deeper interest in educational matters. Being a firm believer in the public- school system of the State, he is one of its most active supporters and is now president of the Board of Education of the village.

Mr. Lovatt has always been an ardent Republi- can, and upon the princi- ple that all good citizens should participate in the politics of the State and country, he has taken a very active part, having been a delegate to most of the conventions held by his party.

In March, 1883, al- though running against a highly respected citizen of his village, he was elected pres- ident, having re- ceived four-fifths of the ballots cast.

A Loral

In November of the same year, in the Republi- can County Cou- vention, he was unanimously nominated for district | phical Sketches of the Deceased Physiciaus of West- attorney of Westchester County.

He is a member of the Republican County Com- mittce and enjoys the friendship and confidence of the other leaders of the party. He is of a genial and social disposition and has a large circle of warm friends. He is a member and trustee of St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church of North Tarrytown.

He is an effective public speaker, easy in his man- ners, ready and fluent in speech, possessing a large fund of mother wit. His studious habits, quick per- ception, faculty of illustration, clear judgment and logical conclusions carry couviction with them,

CHAPTER XII.

THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.

BY GEORGE JACKSON FISHER, M.D., Of Sing Sing.

EXCEPTING to gentlemen of the medical profession, there is nothing particularly interesting in the life of a physician or the transactions of a medical society. Each family, though familiar with its own medical adviser, seldom looks beyond its favorite to learn the traits of character, the extent of acquircments or the skill of others. The technical studies, and subtle researches of physi- cians, who strive to keep abreast with the rapid progress of the medical sciences, possess no inter- est or charm to the gen- eral public. It is ouly concerned with powers aud results, and these only when disease interferes with the performauce of the daily routine of busi- ness and pleasure, or when danger threatens life. So it becomes a difficult, perhaps a need- less, and almost certainly a thankless task to at- tempt to write the sketch proposed.

On the 1st day of Juue, 1858, the writer of this chapter read the annual address, as presi- dent, before the Medical Society of the County of Westchester, taking for his theme "Biogra-

chester County, N. Y.," which address was subse- quently published iu pamphlet form, " by order of the Society." (New York, 1861, 8vo., pp. 52.)

He must now go back seveu and twenty years, and make extracts from that " plain, unvarnished tale of character, merits, traits and experience of those med- ical men who have previously been the incumbeuts of the field we now occupy," to which will be added brief sketches of several honored members of our be- loved profession who have since been called from their labor-some at the full end of man's allotted time, and others abruptly, in the prime of man-

hood's vigor, and in the midst of their greatest use- fulness.1

Over twenty years ago, Dr. James Fountain gave the writer a little document that was previously supposed to be irrecoverably lost, which contains the original records of the first five meetings of the Med- ical Society of Westchester County. This book was restored to the society, by which it is now preserved. It begins thus,-

" That a dne improvement and proper regulations may be maid in the Practice of Physic within the County of Westchester and for the Purpose of a necessary and immediate compliance with the Law of the Legislaturo passed the last Session. The Physicians afforesaid formed themselves into a Society to be known and called hereafter by the name and style of the Medical Society of the County of Westchester. Upon Motion Doctr. A. McDonald, of the white plains, was Elected president of the Society Pro tempore, and upon said motion Doctr. Matson Smith, of New Rochelle, was Elected Secretary thereof.

" The Society, Pleased with the present progress and desireous that the Board shall hereafter exist upon the most fair and respectable terms: and that the Physicians of the County shall indiscriminately receive an invi- tation to nnite with the present members and to encourage this Laud- able dissign." (Here ends the first page.)

" Resolved upon motion that the following resolution be inserted in the Danbury Journal and Mount Pleasant Register:

" Resolved upon motion the Physicians of Westchester County be in- discriminately informed that it is the intention and hearty wish of the Members of the Society that there may be a perfect union of the Profes. sion of Physic within the County for the purpose of establishing the Practice upon a liberal and satisfactory Plan, that there may be a due observance of the law passed at the last session of the Legislature of the State : And that an oppertunity may be given for such an union, the So. ciety have proposed a meeting ou the 13th Day of Jnue next, at House of Majr. Jesse Hally, in Bedford, and hope this mode will be considered un- equivically an invitation. Should any gentleman neglect the present season of uniting with the Society after the Meeting afforesaid, no gentleman can expect admission in the Society without a vote for the purpose.

" U'pou motion resolved that Doctr. A. McDonald, David Rodgers and Matson Smith be a Commit ee to propose a Constitution for this Society against the Meeting at Bedford, which Constitution shall be Subject to Amendment.

"The Board Adjourn'd to Meet at the llouse of Majr Jesse Hally, in Bedford, on the 13th Day of June next.

" MATSON SMITH, " Secretary Pro. Tempore."

The second meeting took place, as proposed, at Major Holly's house, June 13, 1797, at which seven- teen doctors were present. After the transaction of business it was

" Unanimously resolved that the Revnd Robt. Z. Wbitmore be invited to preach a Sermon before the Society at their next meeting. The board Adjourned to meet at the House of Mr. Sutton Craft, Near New Castle Church, on Tuesday, the 8th Day of August Next, at 10 o'clock A.M."

Only six members were present at the third meeting.

1 The biographies of living medical men which have been inserted in the chapter by the editor of this history are indicated by foot-notes, and the writer is in no way responsible for them. They have been prepared by various persons, and are inserted in accordance with the wishes of the publishers of the work.

No mention is made concerning the sermon, and we arc left in doubt as to whether it was preached or not.

The fourth meeting occurred September 12, 1797, at Mr. Sutton Craft's, with eight members present. This is the first meeting at which it appears that any- thing strictly medical was proposed. "Doctor Eben- ezer White was appointed to deliver a dissertation on the utility of a Medical Society," at the next meeting.

The fifth meeting took place at White Plains, "Tuesday the 31st day of October, A.D. 1797." Eight doctors were present. At this meeting the constitu- tion was adopted. This is given in full in the minutes.

The sixth, and last meeting recorded in this little manuscript of thirteen pages was the annual meeting, which was held in Bedford on Tuesday, May 8, 1798, at which twelve members were present. Dr. Lemuel Mead " delivered a dissertation upon Physiology to the satisfaction of the Society."

The records of the society from this meeting to June, 1830, are, unfortunately, lost. The society, I believe, has never failed to convene, at least annually, since its organization. At the present time it holds four sessions a year, each of which is fairly well attended. It has served the general purposes for which it was founded, though it cannot boast of having made any considerable contributions to medical literature. Its publications consist of several editions of its consti- tution and bye-laws,-a " Fee Bill," 1868; " Proceed- ings of the Society at its annual meeting, held in the village of Sing Sing June 3, 1856," 8vo., pp. 50, Sing Sing, 1857; and two pamphlets of " Biographical Sketches of Deceased Physicians of Westchester County, N. Y.," 8vo., pp. 52, 1861; " In Memoriam," 8vo., pp. 41, 1875; and a " List of Registered Physi- cians," 1881.

The individual members of the society have made no insignificant additions to the literature of the pro- fession. Appended will be found as nearly a com- plete list of the contributions as it has been possible to make at this time. By this it will be seen that more than a hundred articles, aggregating about twenty-two hundred pages of medical matter, have been put in print by our physicians during the past sixty years.

A CHRONOLOGICAL LIST OF THE CONTRIBUTIONS TO MEDICAL LITERATURE MADE BY THE PHYSICIANS OF WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N. Y. [1825-1885].

This list must prove interesting, not only to the physicians of the present time, but to those who may follow ns in the future. If each of the counties of our State has contributed as much as Westchester, the aggregate minst amount to many volumes of no inconsiderable valne.
