Chapter IV - The Profession of Medicine
Raymond P. Eddy, M.D., of Greenville, was born in Smithfield, August 17th, 1823. His early years were spent working on the farm and in the mill, and for a time he was engaged in the jewelry business. His health failing he turned his attention to the study of medicine. In 1860 he received the degree of M.D. from the Medical Institute of Cincinnati, OH, and since that time has practiced in the town of Smithfield. He was married November 27th, 1846, to Eliza, daughter of Harry Smith. Their children were: Albert Fulton, Elmer Bertley and Raymond Perry. Mrs. Eddy died April 6th, 1842*; and Doctor Eddy married his second wife, Miss Ella M. Hawkins, and by this marriage is the father of one daughter, Ruth Pearl Eddy.
[* transcriber's note: this is obviously a typo - she married her husband in 1846, and bore a son in 1850]
Elmer Bertley Eddy, son of the last noticed, was born in Smithfield, January 8th, 1850. After his graduation from the Lapham Institute, in 1870, he began the study of medicine under his father. He graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of New York, in 1873, and practiced with his father a short time afterward. He is now practicing in Olneyville.
