all with whom he associated. He brought to the performance of his duties a rare exactness, method, sagacity and wisdom; and with these qualities were combined the heart and the manners of a true Christian gentleman, so that he honored as well as filled a place in the medical profession. True and manly in his friendships, tenderhearted and generous, his memory will be cherished for many a day by those who knew him best."
Dr. J. E. Tibbetts, of Cannon River Falls, died on the 11th of October, 1882, aged 70 years, after an illness of ten years, the greater portion of which time he had been confined to his bed. He was born in New Hampshire in 1812. Before he studied medicine he acquired a thorough knowledge of practical chemistry in the laboratory of a practical pharmacist of Providence, R. I., who was at that time very well known. He began his study of the science of medicine in the office of an uncle, Dr. Emory of Sharpleigh, Me., and later with Dr. Tewksbury of the same place. After graduating at Bowdoin he practiced for four years in Maine, and then went South, where he married and practiced four years longer in Tennessee and Louisiana. The climate there being unsuited to him, he went to St. Louis, where he expected to remain permanently. Shortly after this, however, he was seized with the prevailing epidemic, Western fever, which brought him to Minnesɔta in 1856, and in those troublous times he took up the burden of his lifework here.
Dr. Tibbetts was much beloved by all those who knew him, and was a power in Cannon Falls where he and his sayings, witty and wise, will be very long remembered. He was a man of sterling worth, both as a physician and as a member of society. There was a positiveness and directness about him which left no one in doubt as to what he meant, and he always said what he did mean.
He was singularly successful as a physician, a facile diagnostician, he possessed the inestimable gift of a cheerful face and manner, with which and his skill he won his paticnts back to health, or when that could not be he smoothed the way towards the river.
The Doctor's widow, an estimable lady, and three daughters are living in Stillwater, whither he had gone, as he said on leaving Cannon Falls, to die. His professional success had not brought him its financial equivalent, a condition not rare in the profession, and he died as he had lived, honest, honored and poor.
Dr. Ralph Parkin, who died at Minnesota Lake on the 16th of April, 1882, was one of our youngest members. and not generally known; but from reports received through friends it is plain that he was a worthy man and most promising physician.
Dr. Parkin was born in Durhamshire, England, Feb. 9th, 1848, but when two years old was brought to this country by his parents, who settled in Wisconsin. His father dying when he was eight years old, he had to struggle through all his early life with poverty, and had only limited advantages for study. Securing, however, by his own exertions a fair preliminary education, in 1870 he began the study of medicine with Dr. Evans of Evansville, Wis., and in 1874 graduated at Rush Medical College.
The following year he settled at Minnesota Lake, Faribault County, Minn., and soon secured a satisfactory practice.
In December, 1877, he was married to Miss Mary Eldridge of Evansville, Wis., who with one infant daughter survive him. His death resulted from septicemia following a neglected abscess in the calf of the right leg. His remains were taken to his old home in Wisconsin for burial.
