Dr. Jonathan N. Burr
It was the good fortune of the writer to know intimately one of those old and highly appreciated pioneer physicians. Dr. Jonathan N. Burr. He graduated in medicine and came to Delaware in 1823. He at once formed a partnership with Dr. James H. Hills. This partnership lasted until 1825, when Dr. Burr moved to Mt. Vernon, Ohio. He entered upon a large practice in Mt. Vernon, and when we knew him, in 1870, he had accumulated a large fortune and practically retired from active work. He was an intimate friend of Dr. J. W. Russel, and both were strong supports to the Episcopal Church. He was about ninety years old at the time of his death.
