send so far for a doctor, for you would have done just as well as any one else."-Dr. Sumner's Address.
Dr. Primus lived in a small cabin on the west side of the street, at the top of the hill north of Stoughton's brook, in the present town of South WindHe was a large, good-looking man, quite gentlemanly, and had considerable practice.
Died April 5, 1788, aged 34 years; of whom it is well said that "his life was a relief to the distressed."
The son of Nathaniel and Elizabeth (Allyn) Mather, graduated at Yale College 1763. He lived in East (now South) Windsor, in the house which Dr. Elijah F. Reed afterwards occupied. About 1795, Dr. M. moved to Hartford. He was esteemed an excellent physician, especially in female complaints. He was noted for his long visits, never in a hurry, staid a long time after he got up to go. He died in 1822. His oldest son, Charles, who grad. at Yale 1784, was also a physician in the City of New York.
DOCTOR CHRISTOPHER WOLCOTT,
Familiarly called "Dr. Kit," was the son of Dr. Alexander Wolcott, (already noticed) was an intelligent, though somewhat eccentric man, whose long and well-spent life in Windsor contributed his full share to confer lustre upon a name which has been distinguished in more than one profession.
In Windsor also, the DOCTORS CHAFFEE, father and son, practiced with good reputation. And here the father, Dr. HEZEKIAH CHAFFEE, died in 1819, aged 88 years.
Here likewise, Dr. ABEL SIMMONS, a native of Ashford, in this State, and a physician of much promise, found an early grave in 1818.
Here also, the DOCTORS SILL, the father, Dr. ELISHA N., and the son, Dr. THEODORE SILL, were both located. In the premature death of the son, the
profession and the community each suffered heavily.
Of the individual names that follow, most are now actively engaged in the practice of their profession. The three last on the list in the ancient town of Windsor:
Dr. CHARLES WOODWARD, now of Middletown.
Dr. GRAHAM LEE, now of California.
Dr. WILLIAM S. PIERSON.
Dr. ALBERT MORRISON.
