D. 1805.—The subject of this sketch was born in the town of En field, Hartford county, in_the State of Connetticut, in the year 1797. When he was but three years of ; .,'o,his father moved to the town of Eranklin,Dela ware county, in the State of New York, where, from the then wilderness, he carved for himself and family a home. That indexible integrity of character, so peculiar to the early settlers of New England, was a strong ly marked feature in the character of the subject of this notice, and of the family from which he sprung. In the year 1815 he entered William's College, where he remained about two years, giv ing his whole time and attention to the study of those principles of science,the possession of which in after years, contributed so much to his promi n. not in the profession of medicine. A reverse in tin pecuniary affais of his father made it necessary, •it this time, that he should abandon the idea ol ipiiriug a classical education, and he returned home and entered the office of Dr. Dewey as a stu dent of medicine. After remaining with Dr. Dew ey for some time, he put himseif under the in unction of Dr. Morse, of Otsego, N. Y., one of the most skillful practitioners of the State. He at tended Lectures at the old '•Fairfield College," in Western New York. After finishing the course in this institution,he came into Bradford on a visit to Eli Parsons, a paternal uncle,one of the pionrers o :in c unity,at whose earnest solicitation heconsent ,l to locate here for the practice of his profession, business accumulated rapidly on his hands ; pos sessing a kindly nature,a fine personal appearance, ml an easy, frank address, he soon won the confi dence and esteem of all who came in contact with him. His fine social qualities remained with him through life, and maintained for him that ascen denec in the social circle, which he acquired so , isilv in his youth. In June, 1831, he led to the llyun uial Altar the eldest daughter of the Hon. Ki itben Wilbur, one of the eldest and most es ti t iued of the early settlers of the county. His father-in-law is still living at the advanced age of s 1 years, loved and honored by all who know him. Dr. Parsons was ouo of the founders of the Brad ford County Medical Society, and took a lively in terest in all its meetings and deliberations. Three times elected President of the Society,he was hon ored and looked up to by each of its members.— i 'le be a pattern and guide to those who may at after him. It. C. K. h-fti"' We are informed that a bed of val- ' • Peat has been discovered on the farm of Mrs. I-: us. adjoining that of R. G. Crans, about three miles from this village. A thorough investigation ' luivm, there are several hundred thousand tons of '.ln material, and of the best quality. It is easy "t a.'i'ess, being on the line of the proposed Exten- ( sll l 11 oi the Chenango Canal, and less than a mile ] • t tin laic Railway.
