Dr. Joseph Henry North, Sr., was born at Clinton, Maine, August 25, 1811. He graduated from the Bowdoin Medical College at Brunswick, Maine, in the class of ‘35, with honors, and commenced the practice of his profession at Belgrade, moving to West Waterville, now Oakland, in 1840, where he practiced successfully eighteen years. In 1858 he moved to Hammonton, N.J. Here he continued the practice of medicine, and at the same time gave much attention to fruit culture, having one of the finest farms in this section. In 1870 he retired from active practice, and devoted himself to the oversight of his extensive farm lands.

Dr. North was extensively engaged in the sale and exchange of real estate, and to his energy Hammonton owes much of its success. He was a skilled physician, as his professional brethren and the hundreds of his patients throughout Atlantic County can attest. His reputation was not wholly local, as the charge of the great fever hospitals around Washington during the Civil War was offered to him, so highly was his skill in the treatment of fevers held. He was a learned man aside from his professional knowledge, a great student and brilliant conversationalist. He was married in 1840 to Eliza H., daughter of Hon. Joseph H. Underwood, of Fayette, who bore him seven children, all of whom are residents of Atlantic County. He died at the advanced age of 82, at Hammonton, September 19, 1893.
