Of any medical organization in the
county prior to the formation of the
Iowa and Illinois Central District Med
ical association, Nov. Z, 1866.
The call for the organization of
this society was extended to all reputa-
BILE physicians within a radius of so
miles from Rock Island and Daven-
port. About 20 physicians responded
TO this call, the association was or
gained, and DR.. Gregg of Rock Island
was elected its first president.
The society thrived and. met a
want that had undoubtedly long exist,
ed in the medical profession, as in the
roster of its membership may be found
the names of most of the physicians
who were practicing in Rock Island
county at the time of its organization,
as well as those who have since come
to make their homes in the county.
THE meetings OF this society have
been held regularly every three
months since its organization, and
have always been attended by large
percentage of the members. The sci
entific papers and discussions at these
meetings have been Of inestimable ben

morale which has always characteriz

During the % years preceding the
close Of the century, several attempts
were made to organize a county medi
cal society, without permanent sue
cess, but following the reorganization
of the American Medical association
and the state society in November
1901, the Rock Island County Medica
society was formed; this has become

I Almost contemporaneous with DR..
Gregg was the settlement of DR.. Jere-
miah Hall Lyford in Port Byron, at
which time he was the only physician
between GalenR and Fort Armstrong.
In his professional rounds he travelled
into Whiteside and Henry counties in
Illinois and over the river extensively
into Iowa. Dr. Lyford was graduated
in medicine from the medical depart
ment of Dartmouth college, New
Hampshire, in 1888. His professional
rounds frequently kept him from home
for two and three days, travelling over
a country in which there were no laid
out roads and no bridges. where he
was compelled to follow trails and
ford streams as he met them. He was
interested in churches and believed in
education. doing much for the estab-
lishment of the high grade schools for
which Port Byron has always been
/ famous.
His son, DR.. William Haines Ly-
/ ford, still living in Port Byron, was
/ the first child TO be born in the vii
| lGge, and when grown to manhood, af-
ter g thorough collegiate education,
/ followed IN his fathers footsteps, and
( graduated in medicine from Rush Med
/ ical college, Chicago, H.. In 1889, and
is now the Oldest physician In the
county.
Very soon following Or. Gregg and
Dr.. Lyford was the coming from New
Jersey to Cordova of DR.. Thomas Ba-
ker.
The village OF Cordova was laid out
in 1887 by DR.. Baker and John Mar
shall. The first two houses built were
built by them in 1897 and occupied as
residences for their families.
THE first school in Cordova was
Taught by DR.. Baker In his own resi-
dence, an evidence Of the unselfish and
altruistic character of the man. who
sought in the midst of the wilderness
to train the minds of those few chill
dren to the desire for knowledge and
education.
In 1912 there came to the lower
part of the county and settled in what
is now Edgington township, DR.. Ed
ward Hale Bowman. DR.. Bowman was
born in Franklin, Pa, and came west
TO Kentucky when a very young man
where he worked as a cabinet maker
until he had earned enough money to
pay his way through school After
he had obtained an education and
graduated in medicine from the medi
cal department Of Pennsylvania univer
sity at Lexington, KY, in 1S41, he re
turned to Pennsylvania, where he was
married and practiced medicine in
Harrisburg for about year. when he
again came west and found a perma
nent home in Rock Island county
where he died in 1893.
