DR. SAMUEL FISHER COLT, Wysox, minister of the Presby- terian Church, and president of the Bradford County Medical Society, is a native of New Jersey, born at Paterson, April 19, 1817, and is the son of Samuel and Phoebe Colt, latter of whom was a daughter of Nathaniel Andrus, who was a descendant of Governor Andrus, of Connecticut, a family of English stock. Both grandfathers served honorably through the Revolutionary War. The father was a mer- chant and iron manufacturer, noted in his day and time as pre-eminent, in respect to both his business qualities and his superior mechanical genius, that made him an advanced leader of his time; he was a captain in the War of 1812, and raised his own company ; and was a ruling elder in the Presbyterian Church; he died in 1825. His family consisted of four sons and one daughter, of whom Samuel F. is the youngest, and only survivor. He was reared mainly in Newark, N. J., where he read medicine in the office of Dr. J. G. Goble (a class- mate at Princeton of Washington Irving). He then entered the regular classical curriculum at LaFayette College in the class of 1837 ;

took the full three-vears' course in the Princeton Theological Seminary, from 1837 to 1841, and immediately he was engaged in founding the Presbyterian Mission of Atlanta county, New Jersey. He was exam- ined and licensed to the sacred ministry by the Presbytery of New Bruns- wick, and was ordained at May's Landing by the Presbytery of West Jersey, remaining until 1843, when he came to Bradford county, and was located at Merryall as pastor of the Wyalusing Church, remaining nine years. From this field and labors have originated eight successful Presbyterian Churches, viz. : Meshoppen, Dushore, Rush, Stevensville, Herrick, Terrytown and Sugar Run, the Wyalusing Second and Camptown. He next removed to Towanda, where he founded the Susquehanna Collegiate Institute which was opened in 1854, and remained principal five years. In 1859, he went to Pottsville and founded the Second Presbyterian Church of that place. Here he was actively and successfully engaged, when in 1861 the cloud of war did lower upon our nation. He promptly enlisted in the ninety-sixth P. V. I., and at the organization of the regiment was elected chaplain, and was with his command in the field. During his service in the army he received twenty-five members to their first communion in the camp and field. After a year's hard service, he resigned on account of broken health, and returned to Pottsville; then again took up his ministry (the Church having retained the pastorate for him). He was deeply interested and successful in recruiting men for the army. He was pastor at Pottsville until 1866. Dr. Colt was actively inter- ested in founding the Freedman's Board of the Presbyterian General Assembly, and served a year as secretary. In 1867, at Williamsport, he held a series of successful meetings during eight weeks, resulting in several hundred conversions. He was called to the pastorate at Troy, this county, where he remained a year and returned to the Susquehanna Collegiate Institute at Towanda, at the urgent solicitation of its friends and trustees. His health failing at the end of five years, he spent the next thirteen years actively engaged as a missionary in Sullivan county, where he at the same time practiced medicine and surgery ; during this period he built a church at Laporte. In 1885 he removed to his present home in Wysox. In 1887, he was appointed, by Gov. Beaver, a member of the Forestry Commission ; is a member of the State Med- ical Society ; president of the Bradford County Medical Society ; trustee of the Susquehanna Collegiate Institute and was trustee of La- fayette College from 1857 to 1881. In his medical profession, his tastes run largely to the more exact science of the side of surgery, where he has performed some delicate operations successfully. Dr. Colt has been married twice. To him were born eighteen children, twelve of whom are living. Many of Dr. Colt's sermons have been published and attained a wide circulation, and his contributions to the educational journals have been many ; he has built up many churches, and has founded some of our prominent literary schools ; is secretary of the incorporated Presbytery of Lackawana. His work still goes on, and his theological armor is kept burnished. His old-time eloquence and beauty of diction have not failed. He still preaches, on an average of three times a month, to interested congregations, and
