Notes for John Merrick Bemis:
[Idamarie.ftw]
(VIII) Dr. John Merrick Bemis, son of Dr. Merrick Bemis (7), born at Worcester, Massachusetts, February 14, 1860. The life work of Dr. Bemis has been so completely merged and identified with that of his father for the past twenty years, at Herbert Hall, that what has been said as to the attainments of the father as a physician and specialist applies equally well to the son. He was educated from the start as a specialist, and had unusual opportunities for practice and hospital study. He attended the Worcester schools. Before graduating he left the high school to prepare for college at Phillips Andover Academy, but was obliged, by poor health at that time, to leave the academy, and he studied at home for three years under private tutors. He attended medical lectures at the Harvard Medical College in Boston and at the Burlington University (Vermont) Medical Department, where he received his diploma in 1893. He had been an active assistant to his father at Herbert Hall for some years; before and after graduation hereturned to the hospital where he has been actively engaged in the management and treatment of patients ever since. He has continued his studies with the intention of keeping up the times. He has studied at Harvard and Clark universities from time to time and written papers for various learned societies. His specialty, of course, has been mental diseases. Herbert Hall, of which he is now, since his father's death, owner and manager, is the only private hospital in the state devoted to insane patients exclusively, except the McLean Hospital, which is in a class by itself. Herbert Hall is chartered by the state and under the state supervision. Itranks high among the institutions of its kind.
Dr. Bemis has devoted his time almost exclusively to the hospital. He is trustee of the Baldwinville Hospital Cottages for Children.He is on the education committee of the Highland Military Academy, of Worcester; a member of the Massachusetts MedicalSociety, the Worcester Medical Society, the American Psychological Society and the New England Psychological Society. In religion he is an Episcopalian. He married June 25, 1887, Fannie Bishop Brown, of Andover, Massachusetts, daughter of John Brown, for many years druggist at Andover, Massachusetts. He was born at Newburyport in 1809; died at Andover in 1886. Her mother was Emily Fiske, daughter of Eben Fiske, born at Roxbury, Massachusetts, June 24, 1819, residedmany years at New Orleans, Louisiana. She is living (1905), remarkably active and well for her years. She is related to the Willards, celebrated as clockmakers in the colonial days. Children of Dr. Bemis are: 1.

JOHN MERRICK BEMIS, Physician, was born in the old Summer Street Insane Hospital, Worcester, of which his father was then superintendent, February 14, 1860, only child of Dr. Merrick and Caroline A. (Gilmore) Bemis. The life work of Dr. Bemis was so completely merged and identified with that of his father at Herbert Hall Hospital, that what has been said as to the attainments of the father as a physician and specialist applies equally well to the son. He was educated from the start as a specialist, and had unusual opportunities for practice and hospital study. After his course at the Worcester High School, he became a student at Phillips Andover Academy, but was obliged, owing to poor health, to leave the academy, and he studied at home for three years under private tutors. He then entered the medical department of the University of Vermont, at Burlington, from which institution he was graduated, in 1893, with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. Later he did special work at the Harvard Medical School, and upon completing his education he returned to this city and became associated with his father in the management of Herbert Hall Hospital, which his father founded in 1872, and upon the death of his father, in 1904, he assumed the duties of superintendent of the hospital, serving in that capacity until his death. He was ever a student, studying from time to time at Harvard and Clark universities, and frequently he wrote papers for various learned societies. His specialty, of course, was mental diseases. Herbert Hall is the only private hospital in the State devoted to insane patients exclusively, except the McLean Hospital, which is in a class by itself. Herbert Hall is chartered by the State and under the State supervision, and ranks high among the institutions of its kind. Dr. Bemis devoted his time almost exclusively to the hospital. He was a trustee-of the Baldwinville Hospital Cottages for Children; on the educational committee of the Highland Military Academy, of Worcester; a member of the Massachusetts Medical Society; the Worcester Medical Society; the New England Psychological Society; and the American Psychological Society. In religion he was an Episcopalian.
Dr. Bemis married, June 23, 1887, Fannie Bishop Brown, of Andover, Massachu-setts, and to this union were born two children, namely: Annie Merrick, born October 1, 1888, who married William Wood; and Caroline Gilmore, born May 25, 1891, who married William Seach, a naval officer in the United States Navy.
