ROBERT Louis Stevenson said there are men and classes of men that stand
above the common herd–the soldier, the sailor and the shepherd not
infrequently, the artist rarely, the clergyman rarelier still, the
physician almost as a rule.
On the score of priority in the field the physicians from Pictou may
justly enter a claim for precedence over the other professions. For
foremost among the little band of settlers, who, on June 10, 1757, arrived
aboard the Brig Hope and laid the foundations of the town of Pictou, came
Dr. John Harris, an agent of the Philadelphia company.
It is to be taken for granted that Dr. Harris did not depend for a living
upon his practice, for the Hope brought only 35 or 40 passengers, all
told. Incidentally, it may be remarked that the first white child born in
the county carne into the world the very night of the arrival of the brig,
when the doctor's own family received the addition of a son. He afterward
became known as Clerk " Tommy" Harris, having the position of Clerk of
Peace for many years. He died in 1809, and was buried in the Pictou
cemetery, where a monument stood to his memory, long since fallen, on
which was the inscription, "The first descendant of an Englishman born in
Pictou." We may add that Dr. Harris' daughter, afterward Mrs. Robert Cook,
born in 1769, was the first female child born in Pictou of English
parentage.
Since that day, a century and a half ago, generation after generation of
his successors carried on their appointed labors, and of many even the
names have passed from the memory of men. Naturally, the earliest of these
were not natives of the county. Among pioneer physicians of
Pictou town and vicinity were Dr. Skinner, Dr. Johnstone, Dr. Kirkwood and
Dr. Anderson. The physicians who first settled in New Glasgow were Dr.
Wade, Dr. James Skinner, Dr. John Fox, Dr. Alexander Forrest, from
1832-1875. Dr. James Donnelly practiced at Albion Mines, now Stellarton,
for many years. He was a native of the North of Ireland. He died in 1866
in the fifty-sixth year of his age.
But with the gradual increase of population, of worldly goods and of
educational advantages, her young men began to take advantage of their
opportunity to qualify themselves for more ambitious careers. The practice
of the healing art evidently appealed with force to a considerable
proportion as the partial list appearing upon subsequent pages will
indicate. It is practically impossible to give a complete list of all the
native sons and daughters of Pictou who, since the first settlement, have
given themselves to the medical profession. But of this list, it may be
said with truth, of all her sons, of none may the county more reasonably
feel proud than of those whose names appear herein. Far and wide are they
scattered, living or dead, but in whatever place their lot was cast they
brought credit to their native land. Not a few arose to eminence in the
profession. The county in which they were born today is recognized as a
section where the best standards of medical knowledge and professional
ethics are maintained.
The list below, with the name, place of birth, alma mater and present
address, if living, shows 190 physicians of whom knowledge is available:
