CHAPTER XXII.
THE MEDICAL PROFESSION
Eminent Physicians of the Past and of the Present.
Pg. 319

    The first physician in Youngstown of whom we have any authentic information, was Dr. Charles Dutton, who came here in 1801 with a party of emigrants from Connecticut.  He was born in Wallingford, that state, in 1777, and had had a thorough medical education for those days.  The party with which he came was under the direction of TURHAND KIRTLAND, one of the notable pioneers of Trumbull county, and with their goods, filled three four-horse covered wagons.  The doctor, who was just then ready to begin practice, seems to have been of a somewhat e4ccentric disposition.  He decided to accompany the emigrants and joined them at the last moment, jumping to the wagon with a patriotic song on his lips, possibly to disguise his real feelings at leaving his aged mother and relatives, of whom he seemed to take little notice.  On reaching the Reserve, he selected Youngstown as the most promising location in which to settle, and securing a place of residence, at once began practice.  In July, 1802, he purchased for $200 a tract of 200 acres of land on West Federal street, near Spring Common, on which he at first built a log house, and afterwards a frame house, in which latter he resided for the rest of his life.  He also purchased other lands near the village, and the latter years of his life were devoted chiefly to farming and stock-raising.  He was the second postmaster of Youngstown, being appointed in July, 1803, and holding the office until Mar. 9, 1818.  He seems to have been well fitted by nature for life in a pioneer community - of shrewd judgment, prompt in action and though somewhat rough in manner, of strong social proclivities.  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. Dutton was twice married.  His first wife, Cynthia, died in 1816, leaving one child, Jane, who became the wife of Dr. Lemuel Wick.  He married for his second wife, in April, 1822, Miss Cordelia Poole, of Youngstown.  He died in March, 1842, his wife surviving him several years.

     DR. HENRY MANNING was born in Lebanon, Connecticut, Jan. 31, 1787.  He came of old Massachusetts stock, and through his paternal grandmother, whose maiden name was Seabury, claimed descent from Governor Bradford of the Plymouth colony.  He was brought up on his father's farm, and at intervals attended an academy at Colchester, Connecticut.  Beginning at the age of twenty, he studied medicine two years under Dr. Hutchinson, of Lebanon, and one year under Dr. White, of Cherry Valley, New York.  During this period, and previously, a part of his time ......................................
