PICTONIANS IN THE MEDICAL PROFESSION

Robert Louis Stevenson said there are men and classes of men that stand above the common herd
the soldier, the sailor and the shepherd not infrequently, the artist rarely, the clergyman
rarelier still, the physician almost as a rule.

On the score of priority in the field the physicians from Pictou may justly enter a claim for
precedence over the other professions.   For foremost among the little band of settlers, who,
on June 10, 1757, arrived aboard the Brig Hope and laid the foundations of the town of
Pictou, came Dr. John Harris, an agent of the Philadelphia company.

It is to be taken for granted that Dr. Harris did not depend for a living upon his practice,
for the Hope brought only 35 or 40 passengers, all told.  Incidentally, it may be remarked
that the first white child born in the county came into the world the very night of the
arrival of the brig, when the doctor's own family received the addition of a son.  He
afterward became known as Clerk "Tommy" Harris, having the position of Clerk of Peace for
many years.  He died in 1809, and was buried in the Pictou cemetery, where a monument stood
to his memory, long since fallen, on which was the inscription, "The first descendant of an
Englishman born in Pictou."  We may add that Dr. Harris' daughter, afterward Mrs. Robert
Cook, born in 1769, was the first female child born in Pictou of English parentage.

Since that day, a century and a half ago, generation after generation of his successors
carried on their appointed labors, and of many even the names have passed from the memory of
men.  Naturally, the earliest of these were not natives of the county.  Among pioneer
physicians of Pictou town and vicinity were Dr. Skinner, Dr. Johnstone, Dr. Kirkwood and Dr.
Anderson.  The physicians who first settled in New Glasgow were Dr. Wade, Dr. James Skinner,
Dr. John Fox, Dr. Alexander Forrest, from 1832-1875.  Dr. James Donnelly practiced at Albion
Mines, now Stellarton, for many years.  He was a native of the North of Ireland.  He died in
1866 in the fifty-sixth year of his age.

But with the gradual increase of population, of worldly goods and of educational advantages,
her young men began to take advantage of their opportunity to qualify themselves for more
ambitious careers.  The practice of the healing art evidently appealed with force to a
considerable proportion as the partial list appearing upon subsequent pages will indicate.
It is practically impossible to give a complete list of all the native sons and daughters of
Pictou who, since the first settlement, have given themselves to the medical profession.  But
of this list, it may be said with truth, of all her sons, of none may the county more
reasonably feel proud than of those whose names appear herein.  Far and wide are they
scattered, living or dead, but in whatever place their lot was cast they brought credit to
their native land.  Not a few arose to eminence in the profession.  The county in which they
were born today is recognized as a section where the best standards of medical knowledge and
professional ethics are maintained.

of Dr. Alexander McDonald, Antigonish, as a medical student.

Two years later he went to Philadelphia, which was to be his home and the scene of his labors
and distinctions.  Graduating from Jefferson Medical College in 1839, he was immediately
appointed demonstrator of Anatomy in his Alma Mater.  In 1843, he was appointed Professor of
Anatomy in the Pennsylvania Medical College--a position which he held to the close of his
life and which he filled in an eminent degree.

Dr. Grant was a distinguished physician and surgeon, as well as an excellent instructor. His
many qualities of mind and heart endeared him to all, and few men were better fitted by
nature and education for his work.

In 1840, he was ordained a ruling elder in one of the leading churches in Philadelphia, and
in the same year, he married into the well-known family of John McAllister of the same city.
He left a wife and three children.  It was in discharge of a professional duty that his last
illness was contracted.  He died like a faithful sentinel of humanity, at his post with his
arms on his back.
