H. H. Benjamin, the oldest practicing dentist in Batavia, is a native of Orleans County, where he was born in 1835. He commenced the study of his profession in Albion with John A. Straight, remaining with him three years. In 1863 he came to Batavia and entered the office of Nelson Stevens, the first dentist in the County. Dr. Benjamin soon after began practice alone, and is now widely known throughout the County. He served as treasurer of the village three years, and is a member of the present board of health.
