In Memoriatn Patris, Matris et Conjugis Stirpts Pariter Scandinaviensis Foreword This work comprises (with mimerous additions) a series of articles originally printed in The Pennsylvania Maga- zine of History and Biography, volumes II-VII, issued by the Historical Society of Pennsylvania during the years 1878-1883. For the first six generations included in it, it is, genealogically, as complete as the author, with his pres- ent knowledge, can make it. Members of later generations are mentioned in footnotes in such numbers, it is believed, as will enable others to trace their lineage from the first progenitor with little difficulty. It is published not merely as the record of a particular family but also as a striking example of the wide diffusion of the blood of an early Swedish settler on the Delaware through descendants of other surnames and other races residing both in the United States and Europe.

  • John Fries Frazer
    MEMOIR JOHN FRIES FRAZER. 1812—1872. BY JOHN L. LE CONTE. READ BEFORE THE NATIONAL ACADEMY, OCT. 22, 1873. 245 BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR OF JOHN F. FRAZER, IN accordance with the wish of the Society, expressed at the meeting of October 18, 1872,1 have prepared the following brief memoir of John F. Frazer, LL.D., Professor of Natural Philoso- phy and Chemistry in the University, and who held successively the offices of Secretary and Vice-President in this Society: a man of eminent scientific and general culture; of singular truth- fulness of speech, and integrity of conduct; a devoted lover of consistency in action, and strict performance of duty; virtues which he exemplified in himself and sought for in others. He was therefore respected by his acquaintances, and beloved by his friends, with whom he interchanged a strong and unselfish affection; one who will live in the memory of those admitted to his intimacy, as of those who have had the good fortune to sit under his instruction. John Fries Frazer was born in Philadelphia, July 8, 1812, in Chestnut Street, nearly opposite Independence Hall. His father was Robert Frazer, a brilliant and successful lawyer of that time who married Elizabeth, daughter of John Fries. He was grandson of Lieut. Col. Persifor Frazer, an active officer in the Revolutionary War. During his childhood, being placed at school in Philadelphia, he was always among the leaders of his classmates, both in the serious pursuits of the hours of instruction, and in the athletic sports of the recesses. After a year spent, about 1822, at the quasi-military school of Capt.

  • The Education of a Physician in Early 19Th Century by John Light Atlee, M.D
    78 JOURNAL The Education of a Physician in Early 19th Century by John Light Atlee, M.D. Dr. John Light Atlee (1799-1885), son of William Pitt Atlee (1772-1815) and Sarah Light Atlee (1782-1850), and his younger brother, Dr. Washington Lemuel Atlee (1808-1878), were pioneers in surgery in Lan- caster County in the mid-nineteenth century. Dr. John L. Atlee was graduated from the Medical School of the University of Pennsylvania in 1820 at the age of twenty-one, and immediately opened an office in Lan- caster. His skill as a physician and surgeon earned him a reputation that ex- tended well beyond Pennsylvania. He and his brother, W. Lemuel, revived ovariotomy after the abandonment of that serious procedure early in the nineteenth century owing to the nearly 100% mortality rate. The Drs. Atlee reduced this rate to about 30%. During the 1854 cholera epidemic in Col- umbia and at the County Hospital, Dr. John L. Atlee anticipated by thirty years Dr. Robert Koch's discovery of the disease-causing germ. Dr. Atlee was the first medical director of St. Joseph Hospital in Lancaster. Dr. John L. Atlee was one of the founders in 1843 of the Lancaster City and County Medical Society, and in 1848 he helped establish the Pennsyl- vania Medical Society. The year previous, Dr. Atlee had been one of the founders of the American Medical Society. He served as president of each of these medical societies during his long career. In 1882 Dr. Atlee presented his inaugural address to the AMA upon assuming its presidency, and it was published in the first volume of the Journal of the AMA.
