Excerpt from A Cyclopedia of American Medical Biography, Vol. 2: Comprising the Lives of Eminent Deceased Physicians and Surgeons; From 1610 to 1910 Holyoke, Edward Augustus(1728-1829). Edward Augustus Holyoke, first president of the Massachusetts Medical Society, was born in Marblehead, Massachusetts, August 1, 1728, and died in Salem, March 31, 1829, thus living to the great age of one hundred years and eight months. His ancestors emigrated from England in 1638 and settled in Lynn, Massachusetts. His father, Edward Holyoke, minister at Marblehead, was born in Boston and graduated from Harvard College in 1705, was elected president of the college in 1737, and presided over its destinies for thirty-two years until his death in 1769. His mother, Margaret Appleton, of Ipswich, was descended from John Rogers, the first Smithfield martyr. Edward Augustus was the eldest son and the second of eight children. When nine years old his father moved to Cambridge to take up his duties of president of the college, and here the boy received his education, finally graduating from the college with the class of 1746. In 1747 he began to study medicine with Dr. Berry, of Ipswich, and remained with him nearly two years, settling in Salem in 1749 to pass the rest of his life practising there. At first patients were few and far between - a livelihood hard to gain - but in the course of time it was said that there was not a single house in town to which he had not been called as physician. In business he was most methodical and during a professional life of nearly eighty years was never once at a greater distance than thirty miles from Salem. Dr. Holyoke was twice married, first to Judith, daughter of Benjamin Pickman, who, with her only child, died in 1756; and second, to Mary, daughter of Nathaniel Viall, a Boston merchant. They had twelve children. Mrs. Holyoke died in 1802, and all but two of the children died before their father. Dr. Holyoke was below the middle height in stature, tough and wiry in build. In demeanor he was dignified, mild, placid and agreeable. He was essentially a family practitioner and was not ambitious for public distinction. However, he was instrumental in organizing the Massachusetts Medical Society and was its first president (1782-84), also the first person to receive from Harvard College the honorary M. D. This was in 1783. In 1815 Harvard conferred upon him her LL.D. He was president at various times of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. His health was good until the last years of his life. He habitually gave much time to theological inquiries, especially during the last forty years of his life, and he was a constant observer of the external rites of Christianity.

Excerpt from Cyclopedia of New Jersey Biography At eighteen years of age, he had resolved to study law, and entered the office of Chief Justice Joseph C. Hornblower, at Newark. He seems soon to have discovered that he could find a wider field for usefulness in the practice of medicine than of law, for, in less than a year, he left the office to study for the medical profession. His resolution to make himself acquainted with law, was, however, never shaken. Throughout his long life, his fondness for the law and his knowledge thereof were recognized and mentioned by Daniel Webster and others.

Excerpt from History and Heroes of the Art of Medicine Tm; design of this book is to represent the condition of the Art of Medicine and its practitioners at successive periods of history. In the execution of the plan, it has naturally happened that the characters of the men who have directly, or indirectly, exerted the greatest influence in moulding the medical art have been among the chief subjects of research and delineation. Hence the volume has assumed a lighter, more biographical, and probably more popular form, than might perhaps have been expected in a work of this nature.
