Robert Stinson was the second son of Elijah and Mary Henderson Stinson, of Warwick township, Bucks Co.

Elijah was the only son of John Stevenson, from Ireland, and - Henderson, of Upper Merion, Mont- gomery Co.

Mary Henderson, wife of Elijah Stinson, was one of the eight daughters of Robert and Margaret Archabald Henderson, of Bucks County, whose parents came from Scotland.

Elizabeth Porter, wife of Robert Stinson, was the oldest daughter of Stephen and Margaret McFarland Porter, of Norriton township, Montgomery Co.

Stephen Porter was the youngest of the nine sons of Robert and Lilleons Christy Porter, of Worcester township, Montgomery Co.

Robert Porter's birth, November 25, 1705, is recorded in the parish of Burt, on an island near Londonderry. His direct ancestor earliest known was a Scotch chief of the clan McGregor, who emigrated from Scotland to Ireland about 1630.

Margaret, wife of Stephen Porter, was the oldest daughter of Arthur and Elizabeth Parker, née Todd McFarland, of Norriton township, Montgomery Co.

Elizabeth, wife of Arthur McFarland, was a daughter of Robert and Isabella Todd, who came, with five children, from Ireland about 1737, and settled in Upper Providence township, Montgomery Co., Pa.

The school education of Mary H. Stinson began in the township school-house in Jeffersonville ; continued in Mr. Ashton's private school in Philadelphia, and closed at the Female Seminary in Charlestown, Mass., then a suburb, now a part of the city of Boston.

Having been an invalid many years, she studied medicine as a hygienic measure, and graduated in the class of 1869 of the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania.

Dr. Merrick Bemis, superintendent of the State Lunatic Hospital in Worcester, Mass., having com- prehended the difficulties insuperable by men physi- cians in the care and treatment of insane women patients, with a portion of the board of trustees of that institution, concluded to seek a woman graduate in medicine as a candidate for election as assistant phy- sician in the department for women, scarcely believing she could be elected.

The members of the faculty of the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania recommended Dr. Mary H. Stinson for the candidacy. At the regular monthly meeting of the board of trustees, in July, 1869, by a unanimous vote, she was elected asssistant physician

for the department for women. This was the first appointment on record of a woman to such a position. / At the meeting of the board of trustees in Septem- ber, 1869, she presented herself and went on duty. She remained through Dr. Bemis' administration as superintendent, and more than three years with his successor, Dr. B. D. Eastman, having in the mean time sent in two resignations, which she was induced to withdraw. After a third resignation, she left Worces- ter in January, 1875.

On February 4, 1875, she commenced a tour of the United States via the Atlantic States and their prin- cipal cities to Florida, across the Gulf States to New Orleans, up the Mississippi to St. Louis, and ria Union Pacific Railroad reached San Francisco, Cal., May 25th. Visited intermediate Territories and States re- turning, and arrived home in Norristown about the close of December, 1875.

The summer of 1876 was given to the Centennial Exposition, the social interests it created, and to at- tending some of the sections of the World's Medical Conference, then in session in Philadelphia.

On September 23, 1876, she left Philadelphia on the steamship " Vaderland," with the threefold purpose of travel or sight-seeing, visiting and studying of hospitals for the insane and the sick, and for study in the medical department, of the universities of Europe.

She landed at Antwerp, on the Scheldt, Belgium, where she commenced by visiting the famous colony of insane persons of both sexes at Gheel. The win- ter of 1876-77 was spent in Vienna, Austria, attending clinics and lectures in the hospitals and Medical De- partment of the ITniversity.

The winter of 1877-78 was spent in Paris in similar pursuits. The spring following, the absorbing interest was the World's Exposition in Paris. The summer was given to London and the British Isles. Having embarked for the return voyage at Glasgow, Scotland, she arrived in New York August 27, 1878.

Upon the organization of the hospital for the insane for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, located at Norristown, Dr. Stinson was tendered the position of resident physician of the women's department, but declined the honorable preferment.

Dr. Stinson was elected a member of the Mont- gomery County Medical Society November 10, 1880. She was sent by this society as delegate to the State Medical Society's meeting in Lancaster, Pa., in 1881, and in 1882, as delegate from that same society, she attended the session of the American Medical Associ- ation held at St. Paul, Minn.

Dr. Stinson has been one of the pioneers of her sex in determining a standard of practical usefulness for educated and trained women, and her recognition by the medical society of the county, by the management of one of the largest corporate institutions in New England, and by one in her native State furnishes the gratifying evidence of her successful career.

HIRAM R. LOUX, M.D., of Souderton, although a young physician, has obtained considerable popularity and prominence as a practitioner. He was born in Rockhill township, Bucks Co., Pa., July 16, 1859, and is a son of Jacob and Hannah (Rittenhouse) Loux, the former of whom, now residing near Lansdale, is a Mennonite minister. The latter was of the family which the name of David Rittenhouse has made famous, and of which much information is given else- where in this volume.

In the spring of 1882 he graduated therefrom with honors, receiving favorable mention as a con- testant for the Henry C. Lea's Sons' prize for the best thesis founded npon original experiments and upon clinical observation and superior excellence in scholarship. On April 1, 1882, he located in Sou- derton, where he has since remained. Meeting with excellent success in practice at the very start, he has constantly advanced in his profession until, at the present, he enjoys a very enviable position. He has,

The early youth of our subject was spent upon his ; father's farm, but at the age of fourteen lie entered the excellent school at the Trappe, known as Washington Hall, and there took a three years' course of instruc- tion, which formed the basis of his literary education. The intervals in his occupation of teaching during the following three years were also occupied in study. During the latter year of his teaching (which he fol- Iowed in Hatfield township) his attention was directed to medicine, upon the thorough study of which he had resolved, and he had as preceptor Dr. William H. Hartzell, then of Harleysville, now of Allentown. Making the best of his opportunities, and having by

EDWIN B. ROSSITER, M.D., comes from a family of Welsh extraction. Thomas Rossiter, the grand- father of the doctor, was an early settler in Chester County, where he followed the blacksmith's trade and also cultivated a farm. By his marriage to Rachel Van Derslice, of Chester County, were born children,- Lewis, Thomas, Morris, Joseph, Ellis, Edwin, Sarah V. and Juliann. Thomas, of this number, was born on the 22d of October, 1822, at the homestead, near

Perkiomen Junction, Chester Co., and early acquired WILLIAM 11. RANDLE, M.D .- IIenry Randle, the father of Dr. William H. Randle, was a native of Mississippi, and an extensive planter at Artesia, Lowndes Co., in that State. He married Eliza Law- rence, also of Mississippi, to whom were born nine children, the survivors of this number being Dr. Charles C. Randle, of Mississippi ; Mary F., wife of Dr. O. C. Brothers, of the latter State; Arthur E. Randle, of Virginia ; and the subject of this sketch. Dr. William H. Randle was born on the 30th of No- vember, 1850, in Artesia, Miss., and educated at private schools until he became a student of Spring the trade of blacksmith, which he followed for years successfully. He married Catharine, daughter of Jonathan and Catharine Bowen, whose children are Edwin B. and Rachel E. (Mrs. George W. Reifsnyder). Mr. Rossiter still resides in Chester County, though not actively employed at his trade. His son, Edwin B., was born in Schuylkill township, Chester Co., on the 23d of February, 1851, in the immediate vicinity of which his youth was passed. After instruction at the common schools near his home, he entered a printing-office at Phoenixville, and thoroughly acquired the printer's art in all its departments. He removed . Hall College, Mississippi, where his classical course to West Chester and was engaged as a journeyman, finding later, employment in the same capacity in the State Printing-Office, at Harrisburg, where he remained for several years. Having an early fond- ness for the science of medicine, he determined to make it his life-work, and with that end in view, he entered the office of Dr. A. Williams, of Phœ- nixville, continuing his studies at the Hahne- mann Homeopathic Med- ical College, in Philadel- phia, from which he graduated in 1875. The doctor began practice at Spring City, Chester Co., where he remained three years, and at the expira- tion of this time removed to Sunbury, Northumber- land Co., Pa. A larger Wsthandle field of operation, how- ever, awaited him in Potts- town, to which borough he removed in 1878, and has since been actively en- gaged in a practice, ex- tended and successful, his attainments enabling him j ington, and lield a session of three weeks preparatory to take a leading place as a representative of his school to rendering an exhaustive report to Congress, em- bracing a review of the field of operation and replete with valuable statistical information. Dr. Randle, on his return in 1879, chose Jenkintown, Montgomery Co., as a favorable point for the practice of his profession, where he has since resided. Here his thorough medi- cal training at once .secured for him a leading place among the physicians of the county. of medicine. He is a member of the Chester, Delaware and Montgomery Medical Society. Dr. Rossiter was, on the 9th of March, 1877, married to Miss Mary W., daughter of William Ellis, of Pottstown, who is a graduate of the Cleveland Homeopathic Medical Society, of Cleveland, Ohio. Their children are Lizzie P., Anna C. and Edna M. The doctor gives his support and vote to the Republican cause in politics, Dr. Randle, on the 3d of Jannary, 1882, married Miss Mellie L., daughter of Hon. A. C. Harmer, mem- ber of Congress from Germantown, Pa. Their only child is a daughter, Lizzie H. though not active in the political field. He was reared in the faith of the Baptist Church, of which Mrs. Rossiter is a member.

was completed. Two years later he entered the office of his brother, Dr. John S. Randle, as a student of medicine, and graduated from the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, in the class of 1878. He re- ceived the appointment and served one year as assistant resident physi- cian in the Jewish Hospi- tal of the latter city, and in 1878 was made a mem- ber of the board of experts authorized by Congress to investigate the yellow fever epidemic, fifty thou- sand dollars having been appropriated to liquidate the expenses of the board, which convened at Mem- phis, Tenn. On the assign- ment of the field of oper- ation, Dr. Randle was appointed to the city of Memphis and surround- ing country and the State of Mississippi. After a thorough and laborious investigation, involving a period of two months, the board convened in Wash-

THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.

Medical Society .- About the year 1847 prepara- tions were made to organize a medical society in Montgomery County, aud, according to a previous understanding between Drs. George W. Thomas, Hiram Corson, William Corson and W. G. Nugent, a notice was inserted in the Norristown papers inviting the physicians of the county to meet in Norristown for that purpose. The meeting was composed of Drs. George W. Thomas, Hiram Corson, William Corson, Washington G. Nugent and John L. Foulke. Dr. George Thomas was appointed president and Dr. Hiram Corson secretary. Drs. W. Corson, John L. Foulke and Washington Nugent constituted the com- mittee appointed to prepare a constitution and by- laws. The objects of the society are "to cultivate and extend the science of medicine, to sustain and elevate the character of the profession, to protect the interests of and promote harmony amongst the mem- bers."

The officers consist of a president, two vice-presi- dents, one corresponding and one recording secretary, a treasurer, three censors and a board of examiners, who are elected annually and serve one year, or until a successor is elected.

Any physician of respectable standing in the pro- fession, of good moral character, who is a graduate of some respectable medical school, or who holds a license to practice from some medical board recog- nized by the State Society, or who has been in prac- tice fifteen years, and has a good moral and profes- sional character, and is a regular practitioner, is considered eligible, and may be elected a member of the society by a vote of two-thirds of the members present, provided his name has been proposed at a previous regular meeting of the society; and pro- vided, also, that such applicant is in no way inter- ested or connected with the manufacture, sale or proceeds of any secret or patent remedy or instru- ment, or in giving a certificate in favor of any patent remedy or instrument, or in giving support to a system of practice calculated to destroy publie conti- dence in the science of medicine, or by advertisement or any other undue and improper means or claims to superior qualifications in the treatment of any dis- ease.

The society at present consists of fifty-four mem- bers, holds its meetings bi-monthly at Norristown, and sends delegates to the annual sessions of the State Medical Society and to the American Medical Association.

CHAPTER XXXIX.

ABINGTON TOWNSHIP.1

THE township of Abington is situated in the ex- treme southeastern section of the county, and is bounded on the northwest by Upper Dublin, north- east by Moreland, southeast by Philadelphia, and southwest by Springfield, Cheltenham and the bor- ough of Jenkintown. It is five miles long and three and a quarter wide, and contains ten thousand one hundred and sixty acres. By the erection of Jenkintown, in 1874, its area and population have been reduced. The surface is generally rolling, and in the northwestern section the limestone and iron-ore belt commences, about half a mile in width, and continues in a sontheast course to the Schuylkill. Edge Hill is the most considerable eleva- tion and confines the limestone valley entirely to its northern side. The soil is a fertile loam, and where the limestone abounds, among the best in the county. Lime is extensively manufactured, and considerableore is obtained for the neighboring furnaces and shipped by railroad. The Pennypack Creek flows through interesting scenery for a mile and a half across the eastern angle, in which distance it receives several tributary streams. Sandy Run has its source within a few yards of the Moreland line and flows for a distance of nearly three miles across the northern part of the township, but furnishes no water-power.

The Cheltenham, the Willow Grove and German- town, and the Middle Road turnpikes eross the township in several directions. The former was fin- ished in 1804, the second in 1857, each costing eight thousand dollars per mile. The North Pennsylvania Railroad was completed in 1856, and passes through Abington nearly a mile. The North East Branch, completed in 1872, has two stations, Ilill-ide and

Rubicam, and a course of three and a half miles. The Jenkintown Branch to Yardley passes nearly four miles, and has Noble, Benezet and Meadow Brook Stations. This line was opened through to New York May 1, 1876. The Philadelphia and Newtown Rail- road, completed in 1877, extends across the eastern angle of the township upwards of two miles, with Ilarper Station. The villages with post-offices are Abington and Weldon. The population in 1790 was 881; in 1840, 1704; and in 1880 2,185. For 1882 613 taxables were returned, rated for $2,655,380. Next to Springfield, it is the highest rated township in the county, averaging $4331 per taxable. For 1883, li- censes were issued to two hotels, four general stores, one dealer in flour and feed and two coal-yards. Abington contains nearly sixteen square miles, with one hundred and thirty-eight inhabitants to the square mile. For the school year ending June 1, 1882, seven schools were open ten months, with an average attendance of one hundred and eighty-four pupils. In 1850 the census returned three hundred and fifteen houses, three hundred and sixteen families and one hundred and forty farms. In 1785 two grist-mills, two saw- mills and a fulling-mill are mentioned; the former only now remain.

The name of Abington has been applied from sev- eral parishes so called and formed more than nine hundred years ago, in Northampton and Cambridge- shire, England. In records of 1696 to 1702 we also tind this called Hill township, probably after Philip Hill, who was at the time an extensive landholder here. From Thomas Holme's map of original sur- veys, probably filled up before 1696, we seeure some additional information as to the first taking up of the lands. Beginning at the present Philadelphia line, on the south side of the Susquehanna Street road : Thomas Livezey, Robert Fairman, Walter King, Rich- ard Dungworth, William Chamberlain, Joseph Phipps, Sarah Fuller, John Barnes, Samuel Cart, Widow Shorter, John Rush, Israel Hobbs and William Powell. On the north side of Susquehanna Street road from the Philadelphia line: Silas Crispin, Wil- liam Stanley, Daniel Heap, Thomas Holme, Samuel Allen, Elizabeth Martin, Philip T. Lehman, Silas Crispin and Samuel Clarridge. All these several tracts extended half-way across the township, Susque- hanna Street road being the centre or dividing line from which the surveys were made, and was reserved as an original road, and we know from early deeds actually bore this name before 1695. It seems remark- able that it should have been so called.

From a return made by the eonstable at the order of Thomas Penn, Abington was reported in 1734 to contain forty-two resident landholders and taxables, as follows : Morris Morris, 400 acres; Thomas Fletcher, 200; Stephen Jenkins, 250; Nicholas Austin, 150; Thomas Parry, 100; John Bond, 200; Daniel Thomas, 300; Isaac Knight, 100; Malachi Jones, 80; John Harris, 100; John Thompson,
