Owing to circumstances beyond his
control, and which he very much regretted, he was obliged to abandon his collegiate
course, and he left us during the Spring term in 1861. He returned to Boston, and taught
Latin and French in private families for a short time, and then engaged temporarily in
business, but having no taste therefor, he began the study of medicine at the Harvard
Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, and graduated from that school in 1867. During
most of his undergraduate period, he acted as Resident Physician and Surgeon to the
"Discharged Soldiers' Home" in Springfield street, Boston. After graduating, he
associated himself with Dr. L. R. Sheldon, of Boston, with whom he was engaged in
general practice, until his removal to Chicago, Illinois, in the Summer of 1868, where he
has continued in practice up to the present time, making a special study of the
Physiology and Pathology of the Brain and Nervous System. He has written a number of
articles for the medical journals.
He was married June 10, 1868, to Miss Adelaide U. Wood, of Boston,
Massachusetts. They have one child, Edith Lilian Adelaide, born October 26, 1871.
