DR. JAMES PRESSNELL was Scranton's first physician, commencing practice in that village in 1872, and continued to enjoy an extensive and successful practice until the year 1883, when he died.
DOCTOR OLIVE made his first visit to Scranton in 1868, but remained only a short time. In 1872 he returned with a view of being a permanent resident, and opened the first drug store in the village soon after his arrival. Two years later, 1874, he established himself in the practice of medicine, continuing the same until the time of his death, in 1893, with excellent results. He was a native of England.
DR. JAMES SAUNDERS commenced the practice of medicine in 1882 and continued as a successful practitioner until the time of his death, in 1889.
W. C. DAVIS, B. H. HOOVER, and E. A. GLEASON, each resided here for a time as local physicians, but their terms of service were not long.
DR. B. C. HAMILTON came to Scranton in the early 90's and after a few years' practice, removed to Jefferson, where he is now one of the resident physicians.
At the present there are three local doctors rendering excellent service in Scranton: DRS. J. W. PRESNELL, S. A. ARTHUR and S. M. KLINE, making an honorable record as their predecessors have done.
