Notes |
Dr. William M. Barden, died at his home in Mansfield last Tuesday after a long illness, at the age of 72 years. Dr. Barden was born at Benton, Yates county, NY, February 14, 1812. He took a medical course at Geneva, NY, and afterwards gave his attention to Homeopathy. He located at Mansfield in 1852 and began the practice of the new school of medicine, which he followed upwards of 30 years, enjoying the respect and good will of the community. For several years he had been confined to the house, and he suffered much from the results of a serious illness. The funeral was held on Thursday afternoon at his late residence. (Tuesday, October 7, 1884, The Wellsboro Agitator, Wellsboro, Tioga Co, Pa.) William M. Barden, M.D., was born in Benton, New York, February 14, 1812, and was educated at Geneva Medical College. He married Olive Hanley, a native of Hector, Schuyler county, New York, to which union were born four children: O. P.., recently deceased, who for many years was a practicing physician in Tioga borough; Samuel O., a resident of Richmond township; Olive Louise, who died in infancy, and John M., a physician of Roseville, Tioga county . Mrs. Barden died in 1847, in Benton, New York, and in 1852 Dr. Barden came to Mansfield, Tioga county. He was the first homeopathic physician in the borough, and notwithstanding the prejudice in favor of the old school, he soon established a reputation as a skillful and successful practitioner. He died September 30, 1884. [1897 History] |
