Frederic Clark Jewett, born Aug. 21, 1869; married in Philadelphia, Pa., June 26.1902, by Rev. Elwood Worcester, rector of St. Clement's Episcopal Church, Dorothy Dean Rose, daughter of John P. and Anna E. (Johnson) Rose of Philadelphia. Mrs. Jewett was born in the celebrated 'Rose House" on the battlefield of Gettysburg, Jan. 17, 1872. At the time of the battle Mr. Rose owned and occupied the "Rose House," also the farm surrounding it, which included the famous "wheat field" and "bloody pool," where the hardest fighting of that noted battle occurred.
Dr. Jewett was educated in the public schools of Pittston and Gardiner, the Dirigo Business College of Augusta, Me., Dartmouth and Bowdoin, and graduated from the Baltimore University of Baltimore, with the degree of M.D., in the class of 1893. He was appointed resident physician of the Central Maine General Hospital at Lewiston, Me., where he served the usual term, after which he commenced practice in Gardiner, Me., with Drs. J.M. and D.M. Turner. Not being able to stand the climate of Maine, he removed to Baltimore, and was appointed chief assistant to the chair of "Diseases of the Chest" in his alma mater, the Baltimore University, which position he filled until 1897, when he was elected professor of physiology; in 1901, became professor of "Diseases in Children"; in 1903, became a member of the Board of Directors of the University, and in 1904 vice-president of that body. In June 1906, owing to pressure of professional duties and the labor connected with the compiling of this history, he was forced to sever his connection with the institution. He is secretary and treasurer of the Assawaman Sanatorium Company, President of the Latonia Drug Co., member of the Board of Directors of the Park Building and Loan Association, and is interested in several other business enterprises. Dr. Jewett is a member of the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland; of the Maryland Historical Society; of the K. of P.; of Ben Hadad Temple, No. 93, D.O.K.K.; of the Alpha Kappa Kappa, and honorary member of Alpha Chapter, Phi-Chi, Southern Medical Fraternity. He devoted fourteen years in collecting and arranging the data for this history of the Jewetts. Resides in Baltimore, Md.
