Harrington built his present resi-
/ dence at 526 South Second street.
During his fifty years of practice
DIR. Harrington probably treated
100000 cases of sickness and trav-
eled thousands of miles in all kinds
of weather. His practice took him
all through the territory between
Mankato and Winnebago, to Mime
sofa Lake and other towns as far
distant.
During these years there were a
number of epidemics including small
poX and diphtheria. The diphtheria
epidemic swept out whole families
and was wide spread. The doctors
were kept busy night and day car
ing for the afflicted.
During the small poX epidemic DR..
Harrington agreed to take care of
all of the small pox patients. he hav-
ing already had the disease. One
night when he was starting to make
a visit to a family which was sick
his wife asked If she might accom-.
pany him. She had been vaccinated
so the doctor took her with him.
She saw the patients, and was in
the house, but did not contract the
diseases.
One night when the doctor called
at this same house, which was near
the old Omaha tracks, there were
two coffins in the wood shed. A
dead body was in one of the collins
and the other coffin was waiting to
be used when another death should
occur. The unused coffin was the
only thing about the place which was
clean so the doctor put his street
clothes in it while he cared for his
patients. Three members of that
family died of the small apox, and
there We're few other deaths.
DR.. Harringtop's banking career
commenced in 1886, when the Man
kato National blnk was organized,
and he was made vice president.
The other officers were. Judge Buck,
president; John r. Thomas, cashier;
Emil Schoyen, boorkeeper; Marley
Haynes, teller. Two years later
John Ray became president of the
bank and continued in that office un.
til ten years ago, when DR.. Harring-
ton was made president. The bank
was reorganized in 1898 and named
the Mankato State Bank.
In 1893 all the banks in the city
were closed for three weeks, but
only one man asked this bank for all
of his money fai,ttra
The bank was taken in" just once.
and that time for $4,000 A man
who had been holding evangelistic
services at GAINESVILLE came in and
told the officials that he was going
to operate stock farm near that
town, and that he wanted to do bust
ness with the bank A few days
later he brought in draft fro $4,000
which he deposited He then drew
out $4,000 of this money and babe
the bank and the city last farewell.
Dr.. Harrington is very we'll
known man in the city and his work
as a professional man and bust
ness man has been appreciated. He
was the guest of honor at a banquet
given December 9, 1907, when his
fellow-physicians and several of his
other friends presented him with
beautiful loving cup.
DR.. Harrington's long period of ac-
tive work is closed only by his own
personal desires. He enjoys excel
lent health, is able to go about as
he wishes and will enjoy many years
of life
