Chapter. Xxii The Medical Profession

The first physician in Youngstown oi whom we have any authentic information, was Dr. Charles Duttoii. who came here in 1801 witli a party of emigrants from I ouneeticut. He w as Imt n in \\ allingfurd. that state, in 1777, and had had a thorough mcdicai cducation tor those days. The party witli which he came was under the direction of Turhaud Kinland, one of the notable pioneers of Trumbull county, and with their g- nds, tilled three fourhorse covered wagons. The doctor, who was just then ready to l>egm practice, seems to have been of a somewhat eccentric disposition. He decided to accompany the emigrants and joined them at the last moment, jumping to the wagon with a patriotic song on Ins lips, possibly to disguise his real feelings at leaving his aged mother and relatives, o; whom he seemed to take little notice. On reaching the Reserve, he selected Young-town as the most pr inising location jn winch to settle, and securing a place of rc-idence, at once begin practice. In July, iSo.-. he purchased for !s_*oo a tract of 200 acres of land on Wctf federal street, near Spring Imiiiiih.ii, on which he at first built a log house, and afterwards a frame house, in which latter he vc-ocd f,.r the rest of his life lie also purchased Hher lands i:e;i! the village, and '.he latter \eats 01 his hie were devoted ihietlv to farming and stock raising lie was the second postmaster of

Youngstown, being appointed in July. 1S03, and holding the office until March 9. 1S18.

His brother physicians regarded him as an able man in his profession, if at times somewhat heroic in treatment. Yet he was generally liked and respected as an active, useful, and substantial member of the community, Dr.
