The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-03-03

Work hard and don't worry was Dr Eddy's prescriptoin for those who would live long. Though he didn't include it in his old-age formula, he never smoked or drank.
 Dr Eddy was born at Winhall, January 25, 1888, son of Chandler and Alice Davis (Howet Eddy. He attended Black River academy near Bellows Falls, and Burr and Burton seminary at Manchester. Following his graduation from Middlebury college in 1889 he went to Ticonderoga, N. ,Y., to be prin- .cipal of a grade school. But the teaching profession held no appeal for him and in 1863 he entered Harvard medical school. The next year he transferred to University of Vermont medical college where he received his doctors degree in 1865.
 Almost all Dr Eddy's career as practitioner was spent in Mid dlebury, and it was here he used the medical thermometer in Ver- mont for the first time. With his horse and buggy he covered all the territory within 15 miles of his home. He never learned to drive an automobile though with the ad- vent Of the gasoline buggy" his son usually took him on his calls.
 One of Dr Eddy's few trips away from home occurred 8 few years ago when he went to Boston to help dedicate the New England Medical Center.

 The scene of the accident was the same airport where Boardman was almost fatally injured August 16 last when his plane nose-dived from an altitude of 2,O0O feet. So seriously was he hurt at that time that only recently had he been able to resume flying.
 Broadman had planned to fly news pictures from Washington to New York in connection with to- morrow's inauguration. He went to Springfield airport to-day and took off in small m0noplane to test the field. He got away and landed safely.
 Then he boarded his Gee Bee. Again he got away smoothly but returning. after short fi,ght,~ his wheels became clogged with snow and slush as he glided to landing The plane was suddenly catapulted onto it's back. badly damaging the propeller and tail surfaces.
 A crowd of 100 that witnessed the accident ran to Boardman's aid but he stepped from his damaged plane unassisted. He refused medi- cal treatment..~
