Dr. Hosea Dutton I think must have been the first doctor settled here. Later his son, Dr. Thomas A. Dutton, whose full name was Thomas Albert Jefferson Bonaparte Dutton, but he very wisely abbreviated it. Afterwards Dr. Stone. In 1840 Dr. Lounsbury came, later on Dr. Barnes. Now we are entirely without any Hippocratical aid except by sending out of town.
