   p 60 - They [physicians] were evidently public-spirited men, and some of them possessed a goodly share of this world's goods showing how sadly things have changed as time has come and gone. ... Dr. Bybee was also an active man. He built the house now occupied by Harvey Vandivier, and evidently possessed considerable means for one of that period. He was tenacious of his rights or supposed rights and consequently was often in trouble with his neighbors or associates. On one occasion he and Dr. Trapnall had a fight, in the old fashion way, in the Court-house yard, Dr. Trapnall losing an eye in the encounter. Doctors disagreed then as well as now. ...
