French, Amos MD

1808 - 1887 (79 years)

Name	French, Amos [1, 2, 3, 4]
	http://www.eg.bucknell.edu/~hyde/potter/Obituaries.html: DR. AMOS FRENCH died May 15th in 79th year. Citizen of Coudersport 48 years. Came to Coudersport when 38 years old. Born at Chester, Hampshire County, Mass., April 7, 1808. When very young his father moved to Ontario County, NY and later to Allegany County, NY. There at age of 17 Amos was apprenticed to the mason trade. Helped to build first seminary building at Lima (?), an educational institution under control of M.E. Church. Professed religion at 23. Became communicant of above church. Two years following married Miss Sabra French of West Bloomfield, NY. Through her advice he entered the drug business of Dr. Richard Charles, of Angelica, as a pupil in medicine. Continued there three years when he was examined and granted a diploma by the Allegany County Medical Association, of which Dr. Charles was president. At once removed his family to Coudersport, summer of 1838. Rode day and night over a 40 mile territory in every direction. Mrs. French took charge of the village school; Sobieski Ross and Lafayette Cartee were among her pupils. During his last illness, last January he related the following: "I was once called to Cameron County to attend a patient for whom Dr. Darling had been originally summoned, but could not come. A dangerous operation upon one limb was to be performed. Nothing could be procured to do it with but a sash saw. The young man placed on a table and the limb taken off. A young man, a stranger to me, was standing by, and seemed very handy in the assistance he rendered. I remember the patient submitted to the operation bravely. The bone was sawed off twice. Years after, Dr. Freeman, of Smethport, visited me and told me he was the young man who assisted in the operation. I was once called to attend a Mrs. Coleman who was very sick. After several visits Judge Sartwell went to the house and asked who was attending the lady. "Dr. French," was the reply. He got them dissatisfied and they called Dr. McCoy. When I again visited my patient and learned the situation I asked the friends of Mrs. Coleman if Dr. McCoy was a mason. Their reply was, "Yes, a good one." I then related that when we were young men together Dr. McCoy had carried hod for me while I was still working at my trade and said. Then I said, "Now take your choice, turn off the mason and take the tender if you choose." I was retained and the woman got well." C.H. Dodd

He is the son of Azial French & Pamela Nimocks of Chester, Mass. When very young, his father moved to Ontario Co., NY and later to Allegany Co. NY. There at the age of 17, Amos was apprenticed to the mason trade. He helped build the first seminary building at Lima (?), an educational institution under control of the M.E. Church. Professed religion at 23. Became communicant to above church. Two years later (1833) he married Miss Sabra French of West Bloomfield, NY. She was the daughter of Enos French and Mehetable Payne (Paine)of Bloomfield, NY. Through Sabra's advice, he entered the drug business of Dr. Richard Charles, of Angelica, as a pupil in medicine. Continued there three years when he was examined and granted a diploma by the Allegany Co. Medical Association, of which Dr. Charles was president. Interesting, in that Dr. Amos and Sabra named one of their children Charles--probably after Dr. R. Charles--- and the child also became a physician: Dr. Charles S. French. They moved to Coudersport in 1837, Amos being one of two practicing physicians in the county for some time. Amos & Sabra had the following children: - Milton, - Lydia, - Marcus, - Carlyl, - Charles (Dr.), - Enos & - Frances Amanda--my gr grandmother. Enos & Carlyl died young. The family had a large home on the corner of 4th and Main known as the 'double house'. Later it became the Presbyterian Church. Dr. French also built another house; the Galusha House. Dr. Amos French was known as a dedicated and knowledgeable physician, often riding over 40 miles, day & night, in every direction, through storm and sunshine to assist patients. Going over territory with a sulky or carriage in those early years was no small undertaking (no pun intended), in fact, out of the question; it must be accomplished by horseback. I have read that my great great grandfather was a man of dauntless courage with an immense stock of perseverance and patience. He was a tall man, of dignified bearing, but whose sense of humor was remarkably acute. He was also Coroner of Potter County 1839, 1844-47 and 1853. An interesting and true story involving my gr-gr-grandfather Dr. Amos French is as follows. "First Murder Committed": Joshua Jones killed his wife. He was sentenced to be hung, and escaped 10 days before his death date. His neighbor caught him and took him to where he was to be hung. Mr. Jones paid Dr. French $10 (~$40,000 in today's $) to bring him back to life, but naturally he didn't succeed and the doctor kept his skeleton in his office until 1911 (Austin Flood). His skull is at a current exhibit at the Potter County Historical Museum. Amos did use the $10 to pay for the up-bringing of the Jones children, now parent-less. I have read that ballads were even made up regarding this incident & I actually found some on line. Sabra (Sabria) passed away in 1866 & in 1869 he married widow Elizabeth Shafer and had a son, Frank. The fire of May 18, 1880 destroyed his store, and he never rebuilt. He had accumulated some property and during his last years he lived upon the rental of his tenant houses. Amos died of bronchitis May 15, 1886. He frequently affirmed that he had attended, during the practice of his profession, the births of between two and three thousand children. Amos is buried with his first wife in Eulalia Cemetery in Coudersport, Potter Co. PA. Family Members Parents Pamelia F. Nimocks French 1781-1856 Spouses Sabria L.

Notes

http://www.eg.bucknell.edu/~hyde/potter/Obituaries.html:
DR. AMOS FRENCH died May 15th in 79th year. Citizen of Coudersport 48 years. Came to Coudersport when 38 years old. Born at Chester, Hampshire County, Mass., April 7, 1808. When very young his father moved to Ontario County, NY and later to Allegany County, NY. There at age of 17 Amos was apprenticed to the mason trade. Helped to build first seminary building at Lima (?), an educational institution under control of M.E. Church. Professed religion at 23. Became communicant of above church. Two years following married Miss Sabra French of West Bloomfield, NY. Through her advice he entered the drug business of Dr. Richard Charles, of Angelica, as a pupil in medicine. Continued there three years when he was examined and granted a diploma by the Allegany County Medical Association, of which Dr. Charles was president.

At once removed his family to Coudersport, summer of 1838. Rode day and night over a 40 mile territory in every direction. Mrs. French took charge of the village school; Sobieski Ross and Lafayette Cartee were among her pupils.

During his last illness, last January he related the following: "I was once called to Cameron County to attend a patient for whom Dr. Darling had been originally summoned, but could not come. A dangerous operation upon one limb was to be performed. Nothing could be procured to do it with but a sash saw. The young man placed on a table and the limb taken off. A young man, a stranger to me, was standing by, and seemed very handy in the assistance he rendered. I remember the patient submitted to the operation bravely. The bone was sawed off twice. Years after, Dr. Freeman, of Smethport, visited me and told me he was the young man who assisted in the operation.

I was once called to attend a Mrs. Coleman who was very sick. After several visits Judge Sartwell went to the house and asked who was attending the lady. "Dr. French," was the reply. He got them dissatisfied and they called Dr. McCoy. When I again visited my patient and learned the situation I asked the friends of Mrs. Coleman if Dr. McCoy was a mason. Their reply was, "Yes, a good one." I then related that when we were young men together Dr. McCoy had carried hod for me while I was still working at my trade and said. Then I said, "Now take your choice, turn off the mason and take the tender if you choose." I was retained and the woman got well." C.H. Dodd

MRS. VESTA C. DYKE died at her residence in this boro, on Friday evening last, June 21st, age 52 yrs. She was a sister of Dr. Amos French and came to Coudersport to live with him about 35 yrs. ago. About 20 years ago she entered the office of the Potter Journal and continued as an employee until about 1867, when in company with the present publisher of this paper (Wm. Thompson, Enterprise) she purchased the Journal. The partnership continued over three years, then Mrs. Dyke purchased the interest of the retiring partner, assumed entire control and management, continuing about two yrs. By her ability, untiring energy she made it a financial success. She sold the office to its present proprietor. She entered the Enterprise office as a compositor when the paper was first started and continued until last Jan. when failing health compelled her to give up steady work. She possessed more than ordinary ability, which coupled with great industry and frugality enabled her to acquire a fine property, which she left to her sadly bereaved daughter, Eva D. In her death our community has lost an excellent neighbor and citizen. In sickness Mrs. Dyke was always ready and anxious to lend a helping hand. She always sympathized with those in distress, and so far as she was able, ministered freely to their wants. The deceased was a great sufferer for several weeks and not with standing the care of friends and neighbors and all that medical skill could do, received but little relief until death came. Her death causes great sorrow in our community, and she will be long and sincerely mourned. (She died June 21, 1878)

I'm proud to introduce my great-great grandfather, Dr. Amos French; who was born in Chester, Mass.
He is the son of Azial French & Pamela Nimocks of Chester, Mass. When very young, his father moved to Ontario Co., NY and later to Allegany Co. NY. There at the age of 17, Amos was apprenticed to the mason trade. He helped build the first seminary building at Lima (?), an educational institution under control of the M.E. Church. Professed religion at 23. Became communicant to above church.

Two years later (1833) he married Miss Sabra French of West Bloomfield, NY.
She was the daughter of Enos French and Mehetable Payne (Paine) of Bloomfield, NY. Through Sabra's advice, he entered the drug business of Dr. Richard Charles, of Angelica, as a pupil in medicine. Continued there three years when he was examined and granted a diploma by the Allegany Co. Medical Association, of which Dr. Charles was president. Interesting, in that Dr. Amos and Sabra named one of their children Charles--probably after Dr. R. Charles--- and the child also became a physician:
Dr. Charles S. French.
They moved to Coudersport in 1837, Amos being one of two practicing physicians in the county for some time.

Amos & Sabra had the following children:
- Milton,
- Lydia,
- Marcus,
- Carlyl,
- Charles (Dr.),
- Enos &
- Frances Amanda--my gr grandmother.
Enos & Carlyl died young.

The family had a large home on the corner of 4th and Main known as the 'double house'. Later it became the Presbyterian Church. Dr. French also built another house; the Galusha House.

Dr. Amos French was known as a dedicated and knowledgeable physician, often riding over 40 miles, day & night, in every direction, through storm and sunshine to assist patients. Going over territory with a sulky or carriage in those early years was no small undertaking (no pun intended), in fact, out of the question; it must be accomplished by horseback. I have read that my great great grandfather was a man of dauntless courage with an immense stock of perseverance and patience.
He was a tall man, of dignified bearing, but whose sense of humor was remarkably acute.
He was also Coroner of Potter County 1839, 1844-47 and 1853.

An interesting and true story involving my gr-gr-grandfather Dr. Amos French is as follows.
"First Murder Committed": Joshua Jones killed his wife. He was sentenced to be hung, and escaped 10 days before his death date. His neighbor caught him and took him to where he was to be hung. Mr. Jones paid Dr. French $10 (~$40,000 in today's $) to bring him back to life, but naturally he didn't succeed and the doctor kept his skeleton in his office until 1911 (Austin Flood). His skull is at a current exhibit at the Potter County Historical Museum. Amos did use the $10 to pay for the up-bringing of the Jones children, now parent-less. I have read that ballads were even made up regarding this incident & I actually found some on line.

Sabra (Sabria) passed away in 1866 & in 1869 he married widow Elizabeth Shafer and had a son, Frank.

The fire of May 18, 1880 destroyed his store, and he never rebuilt. He had accumulated some property and during his last years he lived upon the rental of his tenant houses. Amos died of bronchitis May 15, 1886. He frequently affirmed that he had attended, during the practice of his profession, the births of between two and three thousand children. Amos is buried with his first wife in Eulalia Cemetery in Coudersport, Potter Co. PA.
