Besides the lawyers of whom mention has already been made, there were others who flourished for a longer or shorter period in New Castle previous to the or- ganization of the county, or soon after, and of whom it is unnecessary to make special or extended mention. The first to practice in New Castle was George P.
Shaw, who was for a time engaged in the publication of a newspaper in association with David Crawford. This was about 1826 or 1827. He was followed soon after by others, many of whom remained here but a short time and then removed to other localities, while some among them, after practicing law a while, took up other oc- cupations. Most of them have long since passed away, and they are remembered now only by a few of the older members of the bar.
Among the more prominent members were Jonathan Ayres and Lewis Taylor, who were associated in practice from 1850, under the style of Ayres & Taylor, and who were able and successful lawyers; J. Naff McGuffin, admitted in 1847, who was associated with his brother, L. L. McGuf- fin; David Craig, who came to New Castle in 1849, who was elected district attorney, and was twice elected to the Legislature, and who died in 1873, while serving as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention; Davis B. Kurtz, who came to New Castle in 1849, in which year he was admitted to the bar in Union County, and who enjoyed a long and honorable career at the Law- rence County bar; Samuel Holstein, who was admitted to the bar of Lawrence County at its organization, having pre- viously been a member of the Mercer bar; Samuel W. Dana, a native of Massachu- setts, who came to New Castle in the early fifties and practiced in partnership with J. W. Johnston and afterwards with Scott D. Long; George E. Treadwell, who came to New Castle in 1869 and established a good reputation; and Samuel Foltz, who commenced practice here in 1872 in part- nership with George Treadwell.
CHAPTER XI
THE MEDICAL PROFESSION
Prominent Physicians of the Past and of the Present.
The first to practice the healing art in New Castle was Cornelius Hendrickson, who settled here about 1798 or 1799. He was not a regular physician, but was al- ways known as Dr. Hendrickson. He dealt in herbs and simples, and doubtless in the absence of any higher medical authority accomplished much good by his superior knowledge of domestic remedies.
'Ine first regular practitioner of medi- cine who settled in New Castle and, we believe, in Lawrence County, who prac- ticed medicine as a means of a livelihood and to whom the title of M. D. was due, was Dr. John Dickey, who practiced here successfully until the War of 1812, when he entered the army and died in the serv- ice in the year 1813.
His immediate successor was Dr. Alex- ander Gilfillan, a native of Ireland, who settled in New Castle in 1813. Before com- ing here he was a surgeon in the United States regular army. After practicing his profession here for about two years he was accidentally drowned while seining in the Neshannock Creek, June 17, 1815.
Soon after we hear of a Dr. Quimby, who was followed by a Dr. Stevenson and Dr. Cribble, none of whom, however, re mained here for more than a short time, departing for other and more promising fields.
One of the earliest and at the same time one of the most successful physicians of the county was Dr. William H. Shaw. He was born in Troy, N. Y., in 1790. He re-
ceived a regular collegiate education, and choosing medicine as a profession, gradu- ated in the city of New York. He took part in the War of 1812, first as a volun- teer, subsequently as a surgeon. He first settled in Jamestown, N. Y., but left there finally with the intention of locating at some eligible point in the West or South- west. His library he shipped by boat, in- tending to intercept it at some point on the Ohio River, while he came overland. Upon arriving at New Castle he put up at a tavern kept by Alexander Hawthorne. He then had no intention of settling in New Castle, but, on account of high water in the streams, he was compelled to stop, as he thought for only a few days, but the fact becoming known that he was a physi- cian, his services were requested in sev- eral cases, and it finally resulted in his making New Castle a place of permanent residence. He never heard afterwards of his library which he had shipped by boat.
DR. A. W. COWDEN was one of the early practitioners of the county, and a very successful one. He settled in New Castle in the year 1829, and followed his profes. sion in this vicinity until 1865, when he re- moved to Princeton, where he died Decem- ber 6, 1875. Dr. Cowden was not a regular graduate of medicine, but he was a close observer of disease, and an excellent diag- nostician, rivaling many who had the su- perior advantage of an early medical edu- cation. As a man, he was genial and whole- souled; always cheerful, always affable,
163
164
HISTORY OF LAWRENCE COUNTY
but with these qualities somewhat sullied with his jealousy of new doctors, or "new fangled" ideas of medicine. Unfortunate- ly, like many physicians, especially those of the earlier days, he was a poor collector, and after practicing arduously for more than forty years, was little better off, financially, than when he commenced his career; for in those times a load of refuse hay or straw was considered sufficient to pay for a whole year's "doctoring."
DR. POLLOCK settled about four miles south of New Castle, in 1826. He was born in the year 1788, and finished his collegiate course in 1808. In 1810 he commenced the practice of medicine in Washington County, near Monongahela City. Dr. Pol- lock was known, not only for his medical abilities, but was recognized as one of the leading men in the western part of the state, and was a frequent contributor to various periodicals, on many questions that were of interest to the public. Many of his articles are used as historical data to this day. He died on the 6th of Octo- ber, 1856.
About the year 1830, DR. JAMES A. Cos- SITT settled in New Castle, having come here from Mercer. After remaining here a few years, he again changed his loca- tion, removing to the state of Illinois. He remained there about two years, and re- turned to New Castle, in which place he settled permanently, and followed his pro- fession until within a few years of his death, which occurred in 1875. Dr. Cossitt was born in Hartford, Conn., in the year 1795. He served in the War of 1812 as assistant surgeon, settling afterwards in Mercer. The doctor was a perfect model of a true gentleman of the "old school," polite, affable, and courteous in the ex- treme, but tempered with a great deal of dignity. He had a high opinion of the honor pertaining to the profession, and of the code of ethics which should govern professional brethren.
DR. A. ANDREWS, settled in New Castle in 1834. He practiced here for some years, when he finally removed to Mahoningtown,
where he shortly afterwards died. He was known as a zealous churchman, and left the greater part of his property to the Episcopal Church in this city. He was followed by DR. BARLOW, who opened a drug store in connection with his practice.
DR. WILLIAM WOODS practiced in Pulaski at an early date, and successfully through a long period of years, and enjoyed, in a marked degree, the confidence of the com- munity in which he resided. He died in 1862.
DR. ISAAC COWDEN practiced for many years in New Wilmington; in fact, the name of Cowden may be called a medical one in this and adjoining counties, and has furnished more physicians, if we except the name of Cunningham, who afterwards removed to New Brighton, Beaver County.
DR. SETH POPINO, a student of Dr. Cow- den's, graduated at Cleveland, and settled in New Wilmington, where he remained practicing his profession successfully until his death, which occurred during the win- ter of 1875-6. He was universally respect- ed, apart from his medical abilities, as a man of honor, and his word was known lit- erally to be as good as his bond. He was always to be found at his post, rarely ab- senting himself, even for a day, from the duties of his profession.
DR. WILLIAM SMITH removed from Beaver County to the lower part of Law- rence County in 1853, and settled near Moravia. He at one time represented the former county in the State Legislature. He soon enjoyed all the advantages and dis- advantages of a large country practice, and rode extensively all over the lower part of the county. He changed his location to Enon Valley in 1872, but shortly after- wards his health began to give way, and he died in the latter place, July 5, 1873. Dr. Smith was a man universally liked and respected for his many good qualities and his genial, whole-souled manner.
DR. J. B. REINHOLDT was born in Law- rence County in the year 1837. He gradu- ated from Jefferson College, Philadelphia, in the year 1862. He immediately entered
165
AND REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS
the army as volunteer surgeon, and re- mained until the close of the rebellion. He then settled in Muscatine, Iowa; but in 1868 returned to his native county and re- sumed the practice of his profession. He practiced with honor, and attained success chiefly as a surgeon, but his health failing, he took a trip to Minnesota, in the hope that a complete change of climate would effect a cure, but returned in the fall with his health still impaired, and wholly unfit to resume the practice of his profession, and, in spite of all medical treatment, con- tinued to fail until death came to his re- lief. He died March 31, 1873, at the early age of thirty-six years.
DR. WILCOX practiced for some years in Mount Jackson. His health giving way under the arduous duties of his profession, he opened a drug store in New Castle, but shortly afterwards removed to California.
DR. GEMMIL, a contemporary with Doc- tors Shaw, Cowden, Woods and Cossitt, practiced most successfully in New Castle for a long period of years, and rode from one end of the county to the other, being at the same time in the drug business. He afterwards removed to Cincinnati, but re- turned in a few years. After practicing in this part of the county for some time, he became interested in the oil business in Slippery Rock, and, it is said, met with some success, long after the business had been given up by everybody else as a fail- ure.
DR. DANIEL LEASURE graduated at Jef- ferson Medical College in 1846. He set- tled in New Castle in 1849, and practiced in the city successfully until the breaking . out of the rebellion, when he organized two military companies in the vicinity. He was shortly afterwards promoted to a colonelcy, and served with distinction dur- ing the entire war, at the close of which he was breveted brigadier-general. He then practiced a few years in this city, remov- ing, in 1870, to Allegheny City.
DR. J. H. M. PEEBLES graduated at Jef- ferson College in 1850, and immediately
afterwards settled in New Castle. He soon took a front rank among the physicians of the county, and practiced successfully until 1860, when he removed to Cleveland, Ohio, remaining there but a short time. He re- turned to New Castle and resumed the practice of his profession in the latter place. During the war he was appointed examining surgeon of the county, and in 1877 was president of the Select Council of the city.
DR. J. M. WALLACE graduated at Jeffer- son Medical College in 1846. He practiced a few years in Darlington, Beaver County, but settled in New Castle in 1850. He was elected to Congress in 1860, and took part in that Congress which directed the move- ments of the war. After serving his term, he was appointed paymaster, which posi- tion he held until 1865, when he returned to New Castle and resumed the duties of his profession. In 1874 he was re-elected to Congress.
DR. JAMES J. WALLACE graduated at Jef- ferson Medical College in 1851, and the same year settled in New Castle, where he met with marked success. He was a great favorite throughout the rural districts, his practice extending over the whole county.
DR. R. D. WALLACE graduated in the Cleveland Medical College in the year 1853, after which he joined the tide of emigration westward and settled in Cali- fornia. He returned to the East in 1856, and settled in New Castle the same year.
DR. E. M. BARKER graduated at the Cleveland Medical College, and subse- quently attended a course of lectures at the University of Pennsylvania. He set- tled in New Wilmington in 1859, and prac- ticed his profession there until 1861, when he returned to New Castle.
DR. MITCHLETREE practiced for a series of years in Edenburg, and had a large and successful business in that part of the county.
DR. E. BRUGH graduated at the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania in 1851, and for a short time was resident physician to the
166
HISTORY OF LAWRENCE COUNTY
Philadelphia Hospital. He practiced for a while in Steubenville, Ohio, but located in Wilmington in 1861.
DR. JOHN WOODS, a graduate of the Cleveland Medical College, first settled in Greenfield, Mercer County, but subse- quently located in New Wilmington. Re- maining there a short time, he returned to New Castle (and, after practicing here for some years, again settled in New Wilming- ton.
DR. SILAS STEVENSON practiced for some years in Bedford, locating there upon the departure of Dr. Alex. McClure.
DR. C. K. RILEY settled in Pulaski in 1861, at the earnest solicitation of Dr. William Woods, whose health at that time was failing. He was appointed contract surgeon during the rebellion, but having to abandon the service on account of ill health, he again settled in Pulaski.
DR. D. CUNNINGHAM, a graduate of Jef- ferson Medical College, after serving as assistant surgeon in the army during the Civil War, settled in Wurtemburg, where he continued in the successful practice of his profession for a number of years.
DR. THOMAS MEHARD, a graduate of Cleveland Medical College, settled in Wampum in the early seventies. He took a prominent rank among the physicians in the county and succeeded to an extensive practice.
DR. HALL practiced for a number of years in Harlansburg, carrying on a drug store in connection with his profession.
DR. M. P. ROBINSON, a graduate of Jef- ferson Medical College, first settled in the northern part of the county, but in a short time moved to Mahoningtown, where he soon gained the confidence of the commu- nity and established himself in a good practice.
DR. JOHN C. McKEE graduated at Miami Medical College in 1873. He located in Princeton, where he rapidly became known as a successful physician.
DR. H. P. PEEBLES, also a graduate of Miami College, in 1873, settled in New
Castle and practiced for some time with his father, Dr. J. H. M. Peebles.
DR. DAVID P. JACKSON graduated at Miami Medical College in 1874 and in the same year settled in New Castle. He was a specialist in ophthalmology.

I. A. WINTERNITZ, M. D., now deceased, was born in New Castle in 1860. He was a member of the class of 1882 of Miami Medical College, in Cincinnati, and there- after practiced in New Castle until 1888. He at that time went West to Hoxie, Kan., and is now deceased.
HOWARD E. CAMPBELL, M. D., formerly a practicing physician of New Castle, was born in Lawrence County in 1858. He graduated from the medical department of the University of New York in 1890, and located in practice at New Castle. He left this city in 1895.
JOHN A. BLAIR, M. D., who is now living in retirement near Greenville, was born in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, in 1855; attended Edinboro Normal School and Jefferson Medical College, from which he graduated in 1890. He located in New Castle in 1891, and was a specialist on the eye and ear.
ARTHUR FOSTER, M. D., formerly a prac- titioner of New Castle, was born in 1868, and was educated at Grove City College; he graduated from the Toledo Medical College in 1890, and during 1891 was in practice at New Castle for a few months. He is not now in practice.

tice in New Castle in 1896, remained about one year, then located at Rose Point, where he still continues.
MARK F. TONER, M. D., was born in Westmoreland County in 1867, graduated from Jefferson Medical College in 1893, and then practiced a few years in New Castle. He is now deceased.
We have thus sketched briefly above the records of some of the more prominent among the early physicians in New Castle and the county generally. There were a number of others, both of the regular and homeopathic schools, who practiced for a longer or shorter period, but of whom we have been unable to obtain a reliable account. As they have mostly passed away or have removed to other localities, we shall devote the remainder of this chap- ter to sketches of physicians now practic- ing in the city or county.
EDWIN C. McCOMB, M. D., was born in Alliance, Ohio, September 3, 1870, and was two years old when his parents moved to New Castle. He was educated in the public schools and at Grove City College, after which he taught for five years in the public schools of Lawrence County. In the meantime he read medicine under Dr. R. A. Wallace, of New Castle, and in 1898 was graduated from the medical depart- ment of Western Reserve University. He was resident physician of the Shenango Valley Hospital one year, since which time he has engaged in general practice. He is a member of the medical staff of that institution at the present time. He belongs to the Lawrence County Medical Society, the State Medical Society, and the Ameri- can Medical Association.
WALTER C. KISSINGER, M. D., of New Castle, was born in that city October 13, 1879, and was reared in Sharon, Pa., where he attended the high school and Hall In- stitute.
