- [General Americana] Ledger from Ohio
[General Americana] Ledger from Ohio Physician L.C. Herrick 1870s Records for a small town doctor 1872-1877. 12mo leather with gilt edging on boards spine lettered ?Ledger? in gilt marbled page edges 4 spine bands; 272pp used plus 12 index pp in front. L.C. Herrick M.D. Woodstock O. on front pastedown. Neatly arranged on debit and credit pages with index. Most of the ?Dr.? (debit) pages have office visits medicine and attending family notations with a few other specifics particularly tooth extractions and dressing a few wounds. Presumably the other page references are to more detailed medical records. The ?Cr.? (credit) pages are more interesting with some bills paid in cash others in trade. Thus John Hicks cut the doctor??Ts and son??Ts hair plus hauled a trunk and a few other odd jobs (presumably he is the village barber). Joe Chamberlin may have been a shopkeeper since his credit page shows shoes a pocket knife boots pants hat sugar raisins etc. Daniel Kenfield has an entry showing he was ?paid for preaching? on his credit side as well as ?pasturing pony ? and ?repairing U. Ch.? ??" possibly the church? Most of Philip Smith??Ts payments were made in wood hay beef and butter; C.C. Smith resoled boots and Dennison Riddle also made shoe repairs; James Foster repaired a table made shelves and wove a rag carpet for the Herrick family. Wm. C. Reynolds traded a sprinkler potato-bug extinguisher glass fruit jars stove pipe funnels wash basin spittoon and tin cups among other things for his family??Ts medical care. Samuel Standish made keys repaired various stove parts shod horses and did other ?sundry jobs.? Many types of items came in payment: a barrel of cider bushels of wheat honey meat sausage oranges strawberries cheese plus many other repairs and days of work. An interesting snapshot of small town Ohio in the last quarter of the 19th century. Woodstock is about 20 miles northwest of Columbus in some of the best farmland in the East. Lucius Carroll Herrick reported his birth date as 2 Sept. 1840 in Randolph VT on his application for the Sons of the American Revolution membership and reported that he was a descendant of Stephen Herrick and Daniel Field. Census records give his birth date as ?abt. 1841.? Herrick enlisted in the 8th Vermont Infantry in November 1861 as a Surgeon with the rank of private. The unit spent an extremely cold January and February in camp before being ordered to New York on 4 March. They boarded transport ships a few days later and only then were permitted to open their orders which directed them to Ship Island in the Gulf of Mexico. There they drilled for a while until moving to New Orleans in mid-May after Farragut had taken the forts guarding the city. The regiment spent most of the year in the New Orleans-Baton Rouge area securing the Mississippi corridor for the Union. In March 1863 Lucius Herrick was tapped for the new U.S. Colored Troops one unit of which was being formed from the 1st Corps de Afrique Cavalry and became the 4th USCT Cavalry. This unit remained in New Orleans while Herrick??Ts old Vermont unit was sent to Virginia where it participated in some vicious battles. The 4th USCT Cav. stayed in the southern Mississippi area first in the Department of the Gulf then the Department of Mississippi after the war until mustering out 20 March 1866. Herrick is listed in the ?Directory of Deceased American Physicians 1804-1929? as having received his degree from the University of Vermont College of Medicine in Burlington in 1864 possibly training (or finishing training begun before enlistment) between the two assignments (since most medical schools of the day were only a year or so). After the war he went to Woodstock Champaign Co. Ohio. In the 1870 census we find him living there with Jason and Polly Taylor and their daughter Louisa. This is likely the same Louisa who appears in the next census (1880) as Mrs. Herrick with daughters Louise and Nellie son Justus and 4-month-old Mary. From 1884 to at least 1892 he appears as a physician in the Columbus Ohio directory. In 1896-98 he is listed as a printer in Columbus as well as Secretary of the Old Northwest Genealogical Society and he remains listed as a printer in the 1898-1900 directory. He was doing some writing publishing and volunteer work so it is entirely possible that he retired from his practice (of 30+ years) and spent his later years doing research. He is listed as Librarian and board member of the Wellington Library Association but his interest in history and publishing started long before this. We found an announcement in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register Vol. 27 1873 indicating that Dr. L.C. Herrick was revising (updating) the Herrick family genealogy that was first published by Gen. Jedediah Herrick (1780-1847) in 1816. At some unknown point he moved to the Cleveland area; he also appears in the Ohio House of Representatives as the representative from Lorain OH which is on the lake although no year was stated and he is mentioned in the ?History of the Republican Party in Ohio.? He died in Cleveland on 30 April 1903. Some years later Louisa applied for veterans??T widow??Ts benefits (date is unclear on the digital copy). This ledger shows his organization and attention to detail. It is neat (going against the stereotype of a physician!) with many cross-references to other books. An interesting snapshot of a small-town physician in the last half of the 19th century. Condition: Spine has separated along the front hinge. Some scuffing to boards especially along edges. Text block clean and tight.
