Excerpt from Reminiscences of New Hampton, N. H: Also a Genealogical Sketch of the Kelley and Simpson Families, and an Autobiography P. Simpson, until the Spring of 1846, when I left New Hampton for Boston. At the end of three or four months I went to Dover, N. H., where I engaged with Dr. Bethuel Keith for the study of medicine. Dr. Keith kept, at that time, a small private hospital in connection with his general practice, and the situation thus afforded a fine opportunity for observation and some practice. In the fall of 1847 I went with Dr. Keith to Cincinnati, Ohio, to attend a course of lectures; passing the whole winter. The engagement with Dr. Keith was terminated in the spring of 1849, and one formed with Dr. Aaron Ordway, of Lawrence, Mass., who had a large practice. This lasted until 1851, when I removed to Worcester, and formed a connection with Dr. Calvin Newton; who, shortly engaging in other business, left his medical practice mostly in his partner's hands. During the time from 1846 to 1852, I was attending lectures in the medical college in Cincinnati, from which I received an honorary degree. I joined the Massachusetts Medical Society in 1875, and delivered the annual address before the Worcester District Medical Society in 1880. I remained in a large and lucrative practice until 1883, my activity in the profession thus cov ing a period of thirty-two years.
