| 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

TIMOTHY WOODBRIDGE, M. D.,
was born in Youngstown, Ohio, in March, 1810, and was a son of
John E. Woodbridge, who settled in Youngstown as early as
1807, and who was still living in the eighth decade of the
century just closed. This hardy pioneer was a native of
Stockbridge, Massachusetts, and a grandson of Rev. Jonathan
Edwards, the famous theologian and early president of
Princeton College. After coming to Youngstown he purchased
a tannery of Joseph Townsend which he thereafter
conducted for many years. One of his sons, John,
was drowned in the Mahoning river while bathing, the subject of
this sketch at the same time having a narrow escape.
Timothy Woodbridge passed his youth attending
school and assisting in his father's tannery. Shortly
before arriviing at his majority he determind to adopt the
medical profession, and placed himself for that purpose under
the tuition of Dr. Henry Manning. He subsequently
became a student at the Jefferson Medical College at
Philadelphia, where he was graduated, M. D. in 1833. He
first practiced a few months in North Lima, after which he
returned to Youngstown, and entered upon his long and successful
professional career. In 1847-48 he spent about a year in
Rio Janeiro, as family physician of Hon. David Tod, then
United States Minister to Brazil, returning to Youngstown with
Mrs. Tod and the children. Soon after the breaking
out of the Civil War he was appointed a surgeon of volunteers in
the United States army, and was stationed at Johnson's Island in
Lake Erie, where he remained until the close of the struggle,
when he;
Page 321 -
was honorably discharged and resumed practice in
Youngstown. In 1879 he was appointed by
President Hayes, a surgeon in the United
States army and assigned to Fort Peck, Montana,
where he remained about three years. He
returned to Youngstown and practiced here until no
longer able to do so on account of the infirmities
of old age. He died in the city hospital in
1893, at the age of 83 years. He married, Apr. 3,
1844, Miss Isabella McCurdy,
daughter of Dr. Robert McCurdy, who came to
Youngstown with his family, in 1843, from Ireland.
She died in 1869, and he married for a second wife,
in 1871, Mrs. Sarah E. Brewer, of New Lisbon,
Ohio, widow of A. L. Brewer, Esq.
CHARLES C.
COOK, M. D., another early
physician of Youngstown, was born in Wallingford
Connecticut, June 22, 1799. He was a nephew of
Dr. Charles Dutton, whose history has been
already sketched. His father removing to New
Haen, he began his medical education in that city
under the mentorship of Dr. Eli Ives, and
subsequently attended lectures at the medical
department of Yale College, from which he was
graduated in 1822. Providing himself with a
wife in the person of Miss Mary E. L. Salter,
who was born in New Haven in February, 1800, he came
to Youngstown, about 1824, and began practice here
as a physician. He was successful in his
profession, and gained a wide reputation throughout
this part of the state as a more than usually able
medical practitioner. He also occasionally
performed operations, though making but slight
pretensions to surgical skill. His personal
character was of the highest, and he was a fine
musician, both vocal and instrumental. In 1857
he was appointed by the court of common pleas one of
the five trustees. He repeatedly declined
political honors, preferring to devote his whole
time to his profession, and to such useful work as
he could accomplish locally for the advancement of
education and the general improvement of the
material and social conditions of the community in
which he lived. He died Sept. 26. 1863. having
survived his wife not quite a year.
