RESIDENT PHYSICIANS.
JOSIAH GRAVES,
"Was the first physician that settled in Rupert. He was born in Columbia County, N. Y., in 1760, came here in 1788, and continued here in the practice of his profes- sion until his death in 1825. His practice was large and lucrative. He was a man of good size, broad shoulders, spare in person, very homely in his features, a self-made man; uncouth in his manners, strong intellect, sober and discret in his intercourse with his fellows, of decided piety, and much beloved by the people. To a stranger his appearance was stern and forbidding, but upon ac- quaintance he proved to be warm-hearted and companion- able. He had no patience with impertinence or quackery. It was very annoying to him to be hailed on his return from visiting the sick and inquired of concerning them. In such case he would either give a repulsive answer, such as 'sick enough,' or pass along without making any reply. He was also a man of firm opinions and strong prejudices. The following anecdote is characteristic and shows his contempt of quackery. A Dr. Drew once settled here, whom Dr. Graves considered a quack, and would not ac- knowledge as a physician, though doing considerable busi- ness in that profession. At a certain time a stranger, passing along, inquired of Dr. Graves where Dr. Drew lived, 'I know no such man.' The stranger with surprise repeated the question. The doctor again replied. 'I know no such man.' The stranger replied that it was singular, for there was certainly such a man living some- where in town. The doctor finally made an answer, 'I know no such man as Doctor Drew, but Jacob K. Drew lives about two miles below.' Dr. Graves was for some years a County Judge, and held the office of Town Clerk from 1791 to 1824. He had only two children-both daughters. One married Hon. Nathan Burton ; the other married Hon. John S. Pettibone of Manchester." Ver-

mont Historical Magazine, p. 224. Dr. Graves was a Revolutionary soldier, but in what year or organization, is unknown. He was clerk during the specified time, save 1790, when Judge Sheldon held the office. His peculiar signature is a study in that line. Dr. Graves residence was the house now occupied by his great grandson, Judge A. E. Burton, and was erected by the doctor in 1806. In Rupert Street Cemetery 1 find these inscriptions : " Doc Josiah Graves Died April 15, 1825, in the 65th year of his age. Mary, wife of Doct Josiah Graves Died May 26th, 1847, Æ 87."
JACOB K. DREW,
Was born in Dover, N. H., in 1789; settled in town about 1816, marrying, soon after, Catharine, daughter of Enoch Sherman. He resided in what is known as the " Nelson house," a little west of the Parker house. Dr. Drew re- mained in town until about 1828, when he removed to Meridian, N. Y., where he died in 1861. His son, Dar- win, born in Rupert, resided at Meridian. Charles, younger son in Chicago; a general in the Civil War.
HENRY SHELDON,
Was born in Rupert, January, 1797; graduated at Middle- bury College in 1818; studied medicine at Castleton, and in entering upon his profession succeeded Dr. Graves in 1821, and continued in the practice of medicine in his native town more than forty years. His was a most active career, for besides the duties of his special calling, he was Postmaster at Rupert about twenty-five years; two years a State Senator; clerk of the Congregational Society for a considerable period, and Town Clerk from 1824 to 1862, inclusive, save 1845, when the office was held by Judge Nathan Burton. During the greater part of his practice, Dr. Sheldon had no competitor in town, and I think he was successful, professionally and financially. Dr. Sheldon's first wife was Elizabeth Harris of Canaan, N. Y. She died in 1835, aged 35. Her children were Henry, for years a druggist in Troy; Arthur of Chelmsford, Mass .;

Frances (Mrs. Hatch), who resided many years in Hart- ford, and Eliza (Mrs. Hawley) of Dorset. His second wife was Patience Hopkins. She died June, 1864, aged 61. Her children were George and Martha, both of whom died in youth. Soon after the death of his wife, Dr. Shel- don left town and never resided here more. These years were mostly spent with his son, Henry. He died in Dor- set, July 9, 1872; burial here. Dr. Sheldon's home was the corner now occupied by the M. E. Church. It was owned and occupied, the seven years following his depart- ure (1865-72) by his brother, Simeon. The next owner was A. H. Farrar, who sold it to Dr. J. H. Guild, in 1884, the year the M. E. Church was built.
Dr. Sheldon was above the medium height and of spare build; scholarly in thought and speech and affable in manner. His was a well-spent life, and will ever hold a prominent place in our history.

WM. B. MAYNARD,
Was born in Jamaica, Vt., November, 1824; graduated at Castleton Medical College, and began practice in He- bron; removed to Rupert about 1858, thence to Salem, 1872, where he resided until his death, February, 1893. Dr. Maynard was married three times. His first wife was Clara A. Twitchell, of Jamaica; his second, Charlotte Root of Hebron; his third, Huldah Flower of Rupert. Children of his first wife were Annette (Mrs. O. J. Beebe), Georgia and Emma (Mrs. G. H. Richey); of the third wife were Willie, Cora (Mrs. Chas. Arnott), and Mattie (Mrs. Chas. Fraser). Dr. Maynard's practice extended into several towns and brought him a competence.
J. H. GUILD,
Pawlet, 1826. About the year 1842, he was a clerk for the firm of Bates & Safford, this town. He remained here for several years, clerking, teaching school and working on farms in the haying season. He taught the Rupert Street and the Mountain schools, and perhaps others. At the age of twenty he began clerking for Proudfit & Fitch,

Salem. A little later, this firm was succeeded by the firm of King & Guild, continuing three years. In 1850 he set- tled in Sandusky, O., as a cabinet worker, and in 1852 became a proprietor in the firm of Rogers & Guild. Dur- ing his residence here occurred the epidemic of Asiatic cholera, his partner being a victim. Mr. Guild remained throughout, and, as a city official, had a prominent part in the management of affairs. His cabinet works having been destroyed by fire, he closed out his business and left Sandusky. For several years, from 1857, Mr. Guild resided mostly in Baltimore and New York. In the latter city he studied medicine, graduated from the New York Medical College in 1861, with the highest honors of the class. Settled in Rupert in the practice of his profession, and so continued until 1869. In the diphtheria epidemic of 1861-2, Dr. Guild was remarkably successful. In 1869 he began the manufacture of the Green Mountain Asthma Cure, which, from a small beginning, grew to be a large and prosperous business, and is continued by his succes- sors. He was prominent in politics; representing the town in the Legislatures of 1872 and 1874, and a State Senator in 1876. Dr. Guild was twice married. His first wife was Jane, daughter of Judge Burton. She died in 1859. Her children were Ella, now Mrs. M. F. Roberts, and Jennie, who died in infancy. His second wife was Alta, daughter of Almon Nelson, whom he married in 1867. Her children were Cora, of Mechanicsville, N. Y .; Millie (Mrs. Will Thompson), and Harley of this town. His residence, built by him in 1873, stands on the lot between the Weed place and Esq. David Sheldon's, and is now occupied by his son. His religious faith was of the Methodist Episcopal, and in 1884 he built and furnished the present church edifice. Dr. Guild was a man of more than average ability, active and energetic in the prosecu- tion of his plans. He died, March, 1894. In 1877, Mid- dlebury College conferred upon him the honorary degree of A. M.

ALVA REMINGTON,
· This name has been given, as of a man sometime a practicing physician in town; but all I can gather is vague and uncertain. That such a man lived in town is believed; but it is doubtful if he had a recognized standing in the profession. By putting together some things known and some unknown, think his period here, 1800-1810.

LAWYERS.
. ISRAEL SMITH AND NATHAN BURTON,
The only practicing lawyers in town, are noticed under other headings. It must not be supposed, however, that there has been but little litigation here; on the contrary, we have had our share, for I recall hearing the late James Sheldon say that when he was constable, seventy years ago; it would average a law suit a week. Pettifoggers we have had, some of them of real ability; but when a real lawyer was wanted, we have called on our neighbors- Salem, Granville, Pawlet and Manchester. But though our practicing lawyers have been two only, we have sent forth men to other fields, some of whom became eminent in the profession. These will now be noticed.
CALVIN SHELDON,
Son of Judge David, 1788-1834; " was a graduate of Mid- dlebury College ; studied law; settled in Manchester; was for a time at the head of the Bar in Bennington County ; afterwards went west and died some years since, in Oswego, N. Y." Vermont Historical Magazine. Town Representative of Manchester in 1820.
CYRUS SHELDON,
Son of Judge David Sheldon, 1795-1856; a graduate of Middlebury College; studied law and practiced in Troy, where he resided until his death.

Lawyers.
JAMES A. SHELDON,
1822-77. Son of James and Abigail (Flower) Sheldon ; grandson of Judge David; fitted for college at Burr Semi- nary, Manchester; entered Yale College, graduating about 1845, with the highest honors, being valedictorian of the class; studied law; first with Blair & Allen, of Salem, then with Hon. Solomon Foote, of Rutland, where he was admitted to practice. The firm of Hodges & Sheldon, Rutland, one year. The "gold fever " was now raging, and in 1851 Mr. Sheldon went to California, where he remained until about 1859, returning broken in health and in spirits; captain of Co. G., 1st Vermont Cavalry, 1861-2; taught the village school the winter term, 1865-6; Superintendent of Schools the year named: succeeded J. W. Simons in the old store building, near the railroad, where he was a merchant ten years, 1867-77. He died suddenly, June, '77, a few weeks after he had relinquished the store to his nephew, Fred A. Mr. Sheldon married Mary Langdon of Castleton in 1850.
EMMONS TAYLOR,
1828. Son of Stephen and Harriet (Sheldon) Taylor ; graduate of Burr Seminary and Williams College; studied law with James Hopkins of Granville; was admitted to practice there and remained several years. About 1856 he settled in Portage City, Wis., where he resided until his death in 1874. Mr. Taylor visited his native town in 1871. I recall his modest replies to the questionings of old friends, as to how he was getting along in his profes- sion. "I think I have as good a practice as any lawyer in Portage, Mr. Bailey; in fact I have been called to nearly all parts of the State." And Mr, Bailey replied, " I am glad to know you are getting along so well, Emmons." But after his death, we realized for the first time that he was one of the ablest lawyers in the great State of Wisconsin. This was revealed in a pamphlet giving an account of the proceedings of the various bar associations; also containing extracts from his addresses.
