Dr. Edward Bayard, who for nearly fifty years had been a physician of this city, died on Sept. 28th, at North Yarmouth, Me., from pneumonia, in his 84th year. He was born in 1806, at Wilmington, Del., and was the son of James A. Bayard, one of the United States Commissioners that negotiated the treaty of Ghent. His brothers were the ex-United States Senators Richard and James Bayard, while he was uncle to ex-Secretary of State Thomas F. Bayard.
About sixty years ago Dr. Bayard was graduated at Union College, Schenectady, N. Y., and studied law under Judge Daniel Cady, whose oldest daughter he married. Subsequently he practiced law in Seneca Falls, Seneca County, N.Y., where he remained for nearly eighteen years, until his defence of a homoepathic physician, who had been indicted under an old statute at the instigation of the faculty, led him to take up study of that branch of medical science. He became a zealous believer in Hahnemann’s system, and having passed his examination at the New York College of Medicine he, in 1842, began practice, and continued in practice until June of this year, when failing health compelled him to retire.
Dr. Bayard was most courtly gentleman, a conscientious man, and commanded the respect of all who knew him, whether they agreed with his extreme views or not.
So, passes away one more of the Hahnemannian purists, the remainder is very small and not being added to, to any great extent.
