When twenty-two years old he began the study of medicine with Dr. Ranney, ex-Lieutenant -Governor of Vermont, and later entered the Castleton, then Woodstock, Medical College, from which he graduated in June, 1852, and then located in Wardsboro, where he practiced six years. In 1850 he moved to Chesterfield, Illinois, where he lived until 1864, when in January he enlisted in the war of the Rebellion and was appointed Assistant Surgeon of the Seventh Illinois Infantry, and the 22d of the following October was promoted to Surgeon of the Twelfth Illinois. His regiment participated in the battle at Allatoona Pass, October 5, but at that time the Doctor was attending to the hospital at Rome, Georgia. He accompanied his regiment on its march through Georgia and the Carolinas with General Sherman and witnessed the capture of Fort McAllister and the burning of Columbia. His journal, kept during this month, gives vivid and interesting descriptions of the battles and portrays many thrilling events. While the Doctor was in the army his wife was with her parents, and after his discharge he went to Gill, Massachusetts, where he practiced two and a half years. In 1868 he came West and located in New York, Iowa, where for eleven years he enjoyed a good practice which extended ten miles in every direction. In 1879 he had a partial stroke of apoplexy and has since been unable to attend to the duties of his profession.

Her father was the son of a Revolutionary soldier who bought a Connecticut River Valley farm at Northfield, this farm still being in the family. Doctor and Mrs. Burton have four children -- William C., a civil engineer and farmer of Kansas; Minnie M., wife of L. G.
