DR.. Milo Jewett, when a boy, lived
in the family of Deacon Freeman
Keves for a number of years, and will
be remembered as bright, active
youngster. We clip the following
complimentary notice from the Boston
Herald of April 9th:
Last Tuesday the Senate of the United
States confirmed the nomination OF Dr.
Milo Augustus JeWett, for the past II years
physician in charge at the Danvers Insane
Asylum. as consul to SiVaS, Asiatic Turkey
During DR.. JeNett's connection with the
ASYLUM he has endeared himself to both Of
GERS and patients, and they look upon his
going with feelings of mingled sorrow and
regret
A movement is on foot by the friends Of
the asylum to present the doctor on the eve
of his departure with a case of medical in
struments and copy OF Webster'S Una
bridged Dictionary. and in other ways to
testify their high estimation OF his PROBES
si0nal skill and fitness for the position he
has held with so great acceptablllty since
coming to the hospital.
DR.. Jewett is one of a long line of physl-
clans. His grandfather was ply stefan
and surgeon of very considerable dlstlnc-
ton in ST. Johnsbury, Vt. His father, DR..
Fayette Jewett was physician to the WOn-
ans prison and founding hospital former
ly located in South Boston. Later he went
to Turkey, under the auspices of the Amer
lean Board of Foreign Missions, and for
many years practised his profession among
the missionaries and Armenians of Asia
Minor.
Dr. Jewett was born at Svas, where the
consular Office is located He came to this
country in 1860 and resided at Newbury
VT, where he received an academic educa
ton. From there he went to Milwaukee,
Wis, to live with his uncle, Milo Parker
Jewett, l.. l.. d., formerly president of
Vassar Female College. Here he was fitted
for Harvard. He graduated from the Har-
ward medical school in 1881, and since that
time he has devoted himself to the care and
treatment of the insane at the hospital at
Danvers and Canandaigua, n. Y.
He has had special charge of the female
wards at Danyers, where there are 43l
women patients and several nurses. His
services began in the days when the hOspit-
al was new, consequently the work was
arduOus, but his labor was earnest and de-
voted, and good results followed. lie de-
voted much time to preparing entertain
mentS for the patients. and showed excel
lent taste and Judgment in selecting them.
Outside of his hospital work his time was
spent IN study.
The hospital will lose a valuable officer
and the patients and nurses kind friend
and physician.
Dr. Jewett's brother, Henry Martin jew
EFT, has held the post of United States con
nearly six years.
When DT. Jewett's brother went to Sivas
as consul he was introduced to some Of the
Armenian's as DIR. Jewetts son. On hear
ing his name mentioned, many OF them
fell on their knees and received him rap
turOusly, and he made many warm friends
among the ATmenians by his amiable and
generous disposition.
Union Fast Day services will be held
in the Congregational vestry Friday.
