| BIOGRAPHY |
|
Dr. Erastus Field's family were natives of Massachusetts; his father finely
educated, and a Presbyterian minister. In 1823, his family removed to
Frankfort, Ky. where they remained for about 2 years, them came to Portage Co.,
Ohio. Erastus' father left his family and went to Mississippi for the
purpose of teaching in a college there; in about a year he returned to his
family, but was soon called to teach. Soon after his return from the
South, he was taken sick, and in a short time died.. This was in 1828, and
Dr. Field at this time was only 10 years old. He went to live with a
farmer of the neighborhood after his father's death, with whom he remained about
four years, or until his mother's death, soon after that even, he went to
Pittsburgh, and for some time worked in a comb factory. the crisis of 1837
compelled his employer to suspend, and young Field took a trip through Ohio,
Kentucky, and Indiana, early in the Spring of 1840, he left Richmond, Ind. by
stage to Dayton, Ohio; after a long a tedious journey, he arrived in Dayton, and
soon left for Columbus, here he remained for some time, and there became
acquainted with Dr. J.S. Skinner of "Darby Plains," who induced him to
take up the study of medicine; he remained with Dr. Skinner about four years;
three years as a student and the last as a practitioner, having almost entire
charge of the practice. At the expiration of the four years, at which time
he took a trip West, visiting the Pacific slope and a number of States and
Territories; after an absence of about two years, he returned to Ohio, and
practiced a short time at Frankfort, Union Co. The C.C.C.&I. Railroad
was at that time building and the village of Ostrander starting up. Dr.
Field purchased property in the village and began practice there. In 1880,
Dr. Field owned an improved property in Ostrander and 200 acres of land
adjoining the village. (1)
Dr. Erastus Fields located ast Bellpoint, the one place for
all the later newcomers to settle on coming to Delaware
County. He came in 1844 and remained until 1852, when he
located at Ostrander. At that time he was one of the
oldest resident physicians in Scioto Township and in the
county. He was a member of the Ohio State Medical Society
from its organization in 1852. (24)
