HISTORY OF DAUPHIN COUNTY
At Millersburg, about 1830, Dr. Robert Auchmuty, son of an old Revolutionary soldier, located. He was a faithful old school doctor. In the same vicinity practiced Dr. Hiram Rutherford, brother of Dr. Rutherford, of Harrisburg.
There were three Doctors Harris, descendants of the founder of the city-Dr. Robert, a grandson, a second Dr. Robert, a great- grandson, with William Harris, a brother of the latter. The record of Dr. Harris was probably the brightest of the three. The trend of his mind, however, was too philosophical to be thoroughly prac- tical. These three doctors were representative men of the Harris family, well educated, men of enlarged views, and were universally popular in the community.
Dr. David Umberger, another student of Dr. Martin Luther, graduated in 1833, and for half a century successfully followed the medical profession. His son, Dr. Umberger of Dauphin, is well known, revered and respected.
Dr. Shope located at Hummelstown in 1832. He was a native of Dauphin county, born in 1808, studied with Dr. Veasy, and practiced ten years, until his death. But few stood higher in the medical profession than Dr. Shope.
Dr. William Henderson was another bright star in the medi- cal firmament. He was at Hummelstown, and of the "old school" type. He attended to Dr. Simonton's practice while he was in con- gress. Two of Dr. Henderson's sons studied under the father, one of whom, Dr. James Henderson, died in 1880. He was a fine sur- geon, and served with distinction as an officer in the Civil War. Another son was William B. Henderson, who practiced at Steelton.
Dr. Duncan King, who married Dr. John Luther's only daughter, Catharine, made his appearance at Hummelstown early in 1820. He was deservedly popular, and died at the age of thirty or thirty-five years.
Dr. John A. Shuster resided at Hummelstown in the thirties- he was not a "regular" and rarely met in consultation with other physicians. He was squarely built, had light hair, rosy complexion, and mild blue eyes. He was neatly dressed, wearing a high hat, a white cravat, and a suit of dark clothes. He was termed a sociable, even-tempered little "Dutchman" (He was either a Switzer or a Hollander). The English doctors did not take kindly to him, but he was a successful physician.
Dr. Berlin practiced in Conewagoes about three-quarters of a century ago. He was styled "a fine old Irish gentleman." He had no love for the Hummelstown doctors, and when he visited that town periodically, well "in his cups," there would be no end of his

HISTORY OF DAUPHIN COUNTY
hatred for "Dr. Slops," "Dr. Quack," and the "Dutch Pillmaker," as he termed them. He stood high in the community, notwithstand- ing his occasional "sprees," which were overlooked.
Dr. William Rutherford, first president of the Dauphin County Medical Society, was born in 1805 and died 1873. He began the study of his profession with Dr. Whiteside, of Harrisburg, and later with Dr. Dean, with whom he formed a partnership. He practiced for forty years, winning for himself an honored name at home and abroad. No physician hated charlatanism worse than he. His advice to young doctors was of the best, and they were all his friends.
Among the most brilliant surgeons of Harrisburg was Dr. George Dock. He came from Revolutionary stock, and although of a very delicate constitution, was early sent to school and obtained an excellent education. He wrote his name high in the profession he so dearly loved and honored.
Among others who practiced medicine in this county were the affable De Witt, the modest Whitman, the able Reminger, the genial Hutchison, the plodding Caslow, the gifted Bowers, the intellectual Dumott, the accomplished Coover, the learned Reily, the ever-to-be lamented Gorgas. They were peers of their high and holy calling.
Since 1881 the law of Pennsylvania has required every practic- ing physician to register in the office of the county prothonotary, giving sundry facts, including date and place of practice, college graduated from, etc. The following is a list of the physicians who have thus registered in Dauphin county, with the year of their entrance upon practice, location and college from which they grad- uated. Many, of course, had practiced many years before this date, but were required to register :

CHAPTER XI.
TOWNSHIPS: DERRY-LONDONDERRY-PAXTANG -- LOWER PAX- TON.
Derry is among the southern subdivisions of Dauphin county, and at one date covered a larger extent of territory than now. The record of the quarter sessions court of Lancaster county, August I, 1729, containing the following boundary of Derry, as agreed upon by the magistrates and the interested inhabitants reads thus: "The township of Derry, beginning at the mouth of the Conewago, thence up Susquehanna to the mouth of the Suataaro, thence up Suataaro to the mouth of Quetopohello, thence south on a direct line to Conewago, and down the same to place of beginning."
In 1768 the people demanded another change, and applied to the court for a division. They claimed the bounds of the township were very extensive, and the inhabitants thereof labored under inconveniences, and asked the court to divide and create a new township. The line agreed upon was as follows: "Along a cer- tain road leading from Conewago creek, by the Widow Hall's, thence to Felix Landis, Sr., at Swatara creek, which said road is to fall into the east part of the said township, and that the said part be known as Londonderry township and the west part retain the name of Derry." But from time to time there were disputes as to the true line between these townships. April 15, 1825, the court appointed John Roberts, Esq., of Harrisburg, and two other persons, as viewers, to survey and make a division line between the said townships. (See Sessions Docket, page 10). The viewers reported in November, the same year, and the same was confirmed by the court, January 21, 1826. The line thus marked has never been changed, except as may have been modified by the erection of Cone- wago; therefore Derry Church, as it is called, has ever since the year 1825 been in Derry township.
To better show who really were the pioneers in this part of Dauphin county, and of especial interest to their numerous descen- dants, is the subjoined list of township officers from the year 1759 to 1785, when the county of Dauphin was erected. It will be seen that after the separation of Londonderry, in 1769, the officers were from what is now Londonderry, while the officers of the latter
