erected many fair monuments to perpetuate their memories, but still there is wanted a

At age of 21 was appt. surgeon's mate in Col. Wyllis' regt. — warrant presented to him
in person by Gov. Trumbull. He served two yrs. in Rev. army, and nearly lost his life
by exposure; prac. in Lanesboro, Mass., 18 yrs.; rem. to Pompey, N. Y., 1805. His
reputation as a surgeon very extensive. His skill shown rather in preserving than
amputating. Many instances are related of his success without the knife, in opposition
to medical councils. In the winter of 1813-14, out of 300 cases of spotted fever only 3
died. One reason of his success was his untiring devotion to his patients. In one
instance he was taken on a bed to the Jerome fam., of whom 3 were down with the fever.
It was a stormy, winter night on Pompey Hill, and the distance was five miles. They
all recovered. His mind failed in later yrs. , a nd after he had ceased to know his own
family he cured a difficult case of disease — the faith of the patient in him, aided. He

declined. Admitted to practice in the supreme court at Albany Jan., 1814. In March
formed a co-partnership with Caleb B. Drake, Esq., of Ithica, N. Y., and d. there Feb.

went down the Alleghany river to Warren, where they engaged passage on a raft and
continued the voyage on raft and flat boat to Steubenville, O., thence by boat to Mays-
ville, thence on foot to Millersville, Ky., where he obtained a school, and res. till 1828.

He experienced religion and joined the Presb. chh. in Concord, Ky. In 1828 he returned
to Poinpey, X. Y., on horseback and alone — a distance of 700 miles — and engaged in
farming and teaching till 1832; then till 1837 in mercantile business at Manlius, N. Y.,
and for 3 yrs. was Deputy Co. Clerk; rem. to Syracuse. In 1829 elected School Com-
missioner for P ompey. In 1841 Village Clerk of S., and collector of taxes. He has been
in the marble busines, also in hardware and in sash and blind making. From 1855 for
7 yrs. a mem of the city board of assessors. He has been chief clerk in office of county
clerk of Onondaga Co., searching department, and at intervals appt. : y the courts to
settle several large estates. In 1866 he purchased the res. known as " Hiawatha Lodge,"
abt. 2^- miles south of Syracuse, and lives there. His res in Ky. had enabled him to see
from personal observation the evils of slavery, and he became a radical in opposition to
that system. He was a candidate of the Liberty party for Co. Clerk in 1846. He was
the main instigator and most prominent actor in the abduction of "White Lady Fugitive,"
Oct. 7, 1839, from her master while visiting Syracuse. This caused great excitement at
the time, and a full account was published in several journals. He thus initiated the
44 Underground R. R." in S. ; was a mem. of the vigilance committee, and active
in the later proceedings of the celebrated "Jerry" rescue case Though nearly 84 yrs.
of age, he still retains most of his faculties to a remarkable degree Since 1824 he has
eschewed tobacco and strong drink. He m. June 7, 1836, Clara Catlin Tyler, b.. April 9,

to whom I am indebted for this carefully compiled record of descendants of Dr. John
and Jerusha Huntington Clarke, in which many errors in Goodwin's account are corrected,
and many lines brought down to the present time. One who has long known Miss Clarke
renders the following deserved tribute: " She is a person of many choice qualities; an
easy writer, an earnest worker, mentally and physically very energetic, systematic and
correct in whatever work she undertakes. She graduated from the Syracuse High
School and fitted herself for a teacher of music, drawing and painting. For a yew* she
was a teacher in the public schools of Syracuse, but failing health frustrated her
cherished plans, and she was compelled to abandon her life's work for the more listless
occupations of an invalid. She was for years a constant sufferer, but has regained in a

any regular course of business or study. The wish of his lite was a college education.
He stud, at Pompey Acad, at intervals, as health permitted. He also stud, at Oneida
Institute at Whitesville, N. Y., where manual labor is connected with study, and was
some time employed as an assistant teacher. Theodore D. Weld, who was a teacher and
lecturer there, said he had a happy faculty of illustrating and conveying his ideas to his
class. He afterward stud. med. and surg. with Dr. Stearns of Pompey, who said he
was the most rapid and thorough student he ever knew; but after six mos. was obliged
to give it up. Previously he had stud, law with the same result. After 1831-2 he was
on the wing for several years, lecturing, teaching and resting. Afterward res. on a farm
at Baldwinsville, N. Y. , until a year before his death. He d. at Syracuse, Oct. 26, 1856.
H. D. Weld who was greatly attached to him, said he was misunderstood by most people.
He had "a great, true heart; a far, clear-seeing eye; profound views of men and things;
loathing of shams; infelicitous circumstances ruffled his surface, but how beautiful,
serene and transparent lay the depths of his nature * * * Rest, brother of my
heart, weary, sick at heart, reaching forth with yearning and agony to the things before,
thou hast attainel at last." He was frequently solicited to furnish copies of his writings
both in prose and poetry for publication, but absolutely refused. He read and criticized
the profoundest writings as one at home, but in later years never wrote. All moral and
religious questions greatly interested him.

and Upper Miss., with stores at Sault St. Marie, L'Anse, at head of Keweenaw Bay and

of whisky to the Indians as far as possible, and destroyed it wherever found within his
agency. In this the Indians concurred. In 1854, in connection with another agent, he
concluded a treaty at La Point with the Chippewas of L. S. and U. M., by which a largo
tract was ceded to the U. S. After the close of his agency he resumed professional and
other business.
On the 15th day of Sept., 1862, the 19th Regt., Mich. Vols, was mustered into the
service of the U. S. at Dowagiac, Mich., under the command of Col. Henry Clarke
Gilbert. The Regt. left ten days after for the rendezvous on the Ohio river, 10 miles
below Cincinnati; thence ordered from place to place. At Nicholasville, Tenn., a bat-
tery of 6 mounted howitzers and 40 horses was attached to the Regt. At Thompson's
Station, Tenor, the Union force of 1700 men, including Col. Gilbert's Regt., was cap-
tured by a force of 1600 men under Gen. Forrest. The 19th Mich., who went into battle
with 488* men, lost 20 killed and 83 wounded, of whom 54 died; 100 more were disabled
by exposure and cruel treatment while prisoners. Col. Gilbert says that the men were
literal I v slaughtered while on the inarch to Richmond as prisoners. The officers were
confined in Libby prison from March 20 to May 5, 1863, and then exchanged. The Regt.
was reorganized at Camp Chase, and in Oct. Col. Gilbert was sent to McMinnville in
command of the Post, and while there built several redoubts. In April, 1864, he was
ordered to the front and was at the storming of Resaca on the 15th of May, where his

to a grub and sat down. He was taken in an ambulance to Chattanooga and d. there,
May '24. 1864, nine days after the battle. He was an excellent officer; a strict disciplinarian,
but" as considerate of his men as if they were his own children, looking after their wants
and comforts. Children b. in Coldwater. Mich. 1, Lucy, b. Sept. 5, 1K44; d. Oct. 18,
