Dr. AMBROSE IVES. He was the son of Abijah, and the grandson of Abraham Ives ; was born in Wallingford, Dec. 30, 1786, and died in Waterbury, Jan. 31, 1852. He studied medicine with Dr. Cornwall of Cheshire, and settled in Wolcott about 1808. Here he married, March 30, 1817, Wealthy U. Upson, and was engaged in an extensive practice till 1827. He then removed to Wallingford to look after his deceased father's estate. After an interval of two years, he resolved to resume his professional business, and settled in Plymouth. There he soon obtained a large practice. In 1834, he became interested in the manufacture of gilt buttons at Waterville and took charge of the business. In 1 837, he removed to Waterbury, and in 1839 sold out his interest at Waterville. Soon after, he bought into the company of Brown
As a physician, Dr. Ives was sound, discriminating and skillful. No practitioner in the vicinity in which he lived was more deservedly esteemed for strong common sense and matured judgment. As a business man, he was enlightened, sagacious and stable. Few men understood human nature more perfectly, or could see farther into the course of events depending on the human will. By able management and financial skill he succeeded in acquiring a large property.
Dr. Ives was not tall, but stout, and in the latter part of his life became somewhat corpulent. He preserved the plain and economical habits of his early life. In conversation, he was shrewd, intelligent and facetious. He had a fund of anecdote and illustration, and abounded in witty and humorous remarks. Few were more companionable or instructive.
