Person:Daniel Doe (1)

Quoting The Fostoria Weekly News: "He belonged to a family of thirteen children. He chanced to have his birth at a time, and of parents, who thought it no disgrace to have a large family, but like the ancient Hebrews, deemed it an honor to have a numerous posterity. Connected with his childhood and youth there were no remarkable incidents or events. His father was a thrifty farmer, and Daniel, in common with the other sons, was trained upon the farm; here he acquired habits of industry, economy and promptness. These excellent traits characterized his life. Inheriting a somewhat delicate constitution, his parents, not considering him strong enough to work on the farm, determined to give him an education. It was customary at that period to send the weakly members of the family to college. Customs change and the strongest go now. Accordingly, Daniel was fitted up in his plain home-spun clothes, and sent away to Haverhill, N. H. He continued attending school, working on the farm, and teaching until at length he was prepared and entered the medical department at Dartmouth College, where he graduated, Dec. 6, 1827, in a class of thirty-one with the highest honors of his class. He commenced practice of medicine at Bridgewater, N.H., and continued it at Rumney and Meredith Center, N.H., New York City, Peru and Fremont, Ohio. He came with his family to Fostoria about fifteen years ago (1854) but has followed his profession very little since that on account of impaired health. Dr. Doe stood high as a physician, and was a successful practitioner. That he possessed marked excellencies of character, none who know him can deny."^[3]
