Fenton Elmer MacCallum graduated from the Baltimore Medical College in 1900, which was founded in 1881. His original degree was signed by his professors, noting the department of each one. In Latin, the degree listed the institution as "Collegii Medici Apud Baltimorensis" or "[of] the College of Medicine at Baltimore." The date was "Die Mensis Aprilis Septimo Decimo" (on the seventeenth day of the month of April); "amogue salutis humana millesimo noningentosimo" (in the one thousand-nine-hundreth [year] of the human era of health). Dr. Fenton Elmer MacCallum first appears in the Medical Directory of the State of New York in 1906 and last appeared in 1949, although he died Oct. 28, 1948. After he recieved his degree of Doctor of Medicine, he subsequently took a post graduate course in medicine and surgery in John Hopkins University (Mexico Independent, Nov 4, 1948, p. 5).
He graduated from the Parish High School and then from Syracuse University. He practiced first in Pennelville for two years and then in the small hamlet of Fernwood, near Maple View NY. He moved later to Pulaski for the remainder of his life. He died of a heart attack at home, with patients in his adjacent office. He was a true family doctor, going to homes by horse and buggy in the early days, even crossing frozen lakes to reach the ill. On one occasion he was called out to help on the delivery of a child. Finally reaching the house, he was taken to the bedroom where he found a corpse. The family at that home was expecting the funeral director. Receiving better directions, he continued on in his travel and reached the right home and delivered a healthy child. Later he always talked about the incident, saying he went to bring life in, but had found that he was accompanying it out.
He Became a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Parish NY on Feb 1 1897.
