He left us in the Summer of 1861, at the close of the first year, and, in the Fall of the same year,
commenced the study of medicine with the late Prof. Dixi Crosby, M.D., and T. R.
Crosby, M.D., at Hanover. He then attended lectures at the Dartmouth Medical College,
and graduated in regular course in the Fall of 1864.
He commenced the practice of his profession at Warren, New Hampshire, in
January, 1865, and remained there until September, 1869, when he removed to
Plymouth, New Hampshire, where he continued in practice. He was appointed United
States Medical Examiner of Applicants for Pensions, which office he held until his death,
which occurred at Plymouth, on March 29, 1872. He had acquired an extensive practice,
and was deservedly popular as a physician as well as citizen.
He was a member of the Congregational church, and a Republican in politics. His
last illness was very brief, being sick only four days, with cerebro-spinal meningitis.
He was married February 15, 1865, to Miss Ellen L. Ward, of Plymouth, New
Hampshire, who survives him. They had one child, Arthur Ward, who was born October
18, 1867.
