The life of the pioneer in Northwestern Pennsylvania during the first half of the nine- teenth century was a life of discomfort, hard- ship and peril, but it was by these people that the solid foundations of the present were laid, It was by them that our present splendid de- velopment was made possible. When we be- gin to make comparison of the present man- ner of life with the way our forbears lived we are led to marvel at our present attain- ments, at our comforts, conveniences and luxuries ; at our surprising growth; at the wonderful progress along the line of every

human aspiration. Truly are we a great pro- gressive people, living in a rapid age of devel- opment. If such are the thoughts which in- spire us as a people as we enter upon the twentieth century, what will be the thoughts of those who will be present at its close ?
The medical profession of Jefferson county from 1800 up to this year, 1915, has had in the past and does now hold in its ranks as large a proportion of educated, courageous and skillful surgeons, careful and intelligent observers, and humane, self-sacrificing prac- titioners, as any area of equal population in the world.
JEFFERSON COUNTY PRACTITIONERS
In 1818 Dr. Jolin W. Jenks settled in what is now Punxsutawney, where he built a cabin and reared a family.
The pioneer physician and pioneer clergy- man to settle in the Little Toby valley was Rev. Dr. Jonathan Nichols, who died in 1846, aged seventy-one. His wife, Ilannah, died in Brookville in 1859, aged eighty-two years. Rev. Dr. Jonathan Nichols migrated from Connec- ticut and settled on Little Toby, in Clearfield county, Pa., in the year 1822. The date of his first settlement in this wilderness was in 1818, when he located near Weedville. He was a man of intellect and some culture, big brained, big boned and big hearted, a preacher as well as a doctor, a regularly educated phy- sician, but, being of a very pious turn of mind, he studied and was ordained a Baptist min- ister. He was the first minister to preach regularly in this county, also the pioneer phy- sician in the northern part. In the summer of 1819, while preaching in a cabin on Ben- nett's Branch, the door of the cabin being open, a big buck ran by, and the men of the con- gregation all ran out with their guns after the deer except one old Dutchman. This so astonished the Reverend that he exclaimed, "Is not this terrible?" meaning desecration of the day. The old Dutchman replied, "Never mind. Doctor, by sure dey gets that deer." As a clergyman his ministrations were popular and well attended, people frequently going ten or twelve miles to his meetings. In winter their conveyances were sleds drawn by oxen; in summer they went afoot. In 1822 he moved to Brandy Camp. Here he bought a home- stead for himself and his four girls, each ad- joining the other along the road. To Mrs. Dr. Clarke he gave the farm of the late Jo- seph S. Chamberlain. From Brandy Camp he preached and doctored over the north end
of Jefferson county in and around Brookville up to his death, in 1846. He was probably the first Mason in this wilderness, and at the time of his death he was entitled to and wore the Masonic white apron.
In 1831 Dr. Alvah Evans was located here for a short time. In 1832, Dr. G. C. M. Prime.
In the spring of 1836 Dr. A. M. Clarke (who read and practiced under Dr. Nichols) located in Brockwayville and commenced to practice for and by himself. (See biography.)

A. P. Heichhold, M. D., located in Ring- gold in 1852; removed to Brookville in 1854. He served all through the war of the Rebellion as a surgeon, and after the war practiced in Brookville and Reynoldsville, when not serv- ing in the United States treasury department as special agent. He died in Brookville Feb- ruary 6, 1889. He was a prolific writer and war correspondent, and very much of our war history is collated from his writings.
Dr. James N. Beck located in Washington township in 1854; remained a year or two and then left.
Dr. Joseph Shields located in Perrysville in 1855; remained there until 1865, and then re- moved to Punxsutawney, where he lived and died.

270

wayville and practiced under Dr. W. C. Niver. On August 4, 1862, Dr. MeKnight was ap- pointed by Governor Curtin examining sur- gcon for Jefferson and Forest counties. In 1863 he enlisted in the army, and at the expira- tion of his service located in Brookville. In 1863 he was appointed United States pension surgeon, and resigned after seven years' service.
Dr. Charles M. Matson located in Corsica in April. 1858. as a partner of Dr. Rodgers ; dis- solved the partnership in 1859: removed to Brookville and engaged in other business until 1863, when he again commenced the practice of medicine in Brookville. He is now ( 1915) retired. He is not a graduate in medicine.
Dr. John M. Jones located in Perrysville about 1858; removed to Corsica in 1859; died of fever.
Dr. William Cyrus Niver was born in Friendship, Allegany Co., N. Y., July 10, 1823. In -1849 he came to Ridgway, Pa., where he was engaged to teach the village school. This position he held for three years, continuing his medical studies in the mean- time with Dr. C. R. Earley, of Elk county. On May 23, 1852, he moved to Brockwayville and became associated in the practice of medi- cine with Dr. A. M. Clarke. After a partner- ship of two years with Dr. Clarke, Dr. Niver married Miss Semiramis M. Brown. The couple commenced housekeeping in Brockway- ville, where Dr. Niver practiced alone until 1859, when he entered into partnership with Dr. W. J. McKnight. This partnership con- tinued until 1863, when it was dissolved, Dr. McKnight going to the war and on his return locating in Brookville. Dr. Niver's forty years' professional life in Jefferson county was passed in the arduous practice of his pro- fession amid the pioneer rugged topography of a new and unbroken country. Ilis field of practice extended through the wilderness for miles around on all sides-through the Beech- woods country, to the far limits of Warsaw, over the mountain and into the Susquehanna valley to Weedville and Penfield, up the Toby and along the Brandycamp to Ridgway, and about St. Marys, and down "Toby" to Beech- bottom and what is JIallton on the Clarion river, taking in all the intervening country be- tween these points. Through winter's storm and summer's sunshine, execrable paths and roads, night and day, he patiently toiled that he might minister to the sick and alleviate suf- fering. Scarcely a fireside existed in the early day within a very large radius of country but what at some time or other had longed and
watched for his coming and hailed his arrival as a ministering friend and deliverer from pain. Dr. Niver was exceptionally well in- formed. Ile had a giant intellect, and was conversant with the world's history and the best products of literature and science. He possessed great controversial powers, and had he been endowed with a more energetic and aggressive disposition and physical strength in keeping with his intellectual attainments the world would have known of him outside of the narrow confines of this wilderness. From the inception of the Republican party he was a worker in Jefferson county and an ardent champion of Republican principles. He up- held and maintained these principles because he believed in them, and never sought office or political preferment in any way. He never held office other than township. borough, county, or as district delegate to conventions. lle was active in every enterprise for the moral or material welfare of the county, and one of the existing monuments of his efforts is the . prohibition law of Snyder township. His social relations were always fraternal, and his entire life was marked by the strictest integ- rity, which has left its impress and influence upon the community in which he dwelt. His death occurred December 16, 1893, in the seventy-first year of his age. I remember him with great respect.
Dr. Barnabas Sweeney located in Brookville in October, 1864. He was well educated and took a deep interest in politics and surgery. On April 1, 1883. he removed to DuBois. where he died March 10. 1890.
R. S. Hunt, M. D., located in Richardsville in 1860, and removed to Brookville in 1864. He held the office of pension surgeon from 1870 almost continuously until his death, No- vember 5, 1906. "Dr. R. S. Hunt, of Brook- ville, died last evening at five o'clock. The Doctor had been known for many years not only in Brookville, but all over Jefferson county, because of his professional career and his activity in politics in earlier years, when he helped to make a Republican county of Jef- ferson. Dr. Hunt was of the group of phy- sicians who looked after the demands upon the profession when Dr. W. J. McKnight, Dr. B. Sweeney and Dr. Heichhold were all in their prime. Dr. McKnight, who has in later years become quite a noted historian, is now the only one of the group living. He is still in fine physical form, although whitened long ago by multiplying years."-Dubois Courier, November 6th, 1906.
