Dr. John Drake of Westford [Otsego Co. NY], died in that town on the 23d Oct. in the 78th year of is age. He was one of the oldest physicians in this section of the State.
Freeman's Journal, Cooperstown, NY, November 8, 1877: Dr. John Drake was born in Westford, Dec. 8, 1799, commenced the study of medicine in 1823 with Dr. Burbank of Albany, and took a course of lectures given by Prof. Marsh and Armsby. On account of sickness, he returned to Westford and studied with Dr. Hanna until 1826, when he went to Castleton, Vt., attended lectures and took the degree of M.D. He commenced the practice of medicine in Fulton Co. [NY] in 1827 but returned to his native town in Dec. 1829 where, for nearly half a century, he performed the responsible and arduous duties of a physician. He was married to Miss Perlia Judson, in 1831. She and five out of eight children, survive him. He was a member of Assembly in 1831, has been Supervisor of his town, Postmaster, Coroner and President of the Otsego Co. medical Society several times. He filled each position with honor. He wished and prayed that he would not live longer than he could do good. So it was, for he was confined to the house only one week, and on the morning of Oct. 23, 1877, Dr. Drake died as he had lived, a Christian gentleman. As a husband and father he was faithful and affectionate, as a citizen he was a patriot, as a physician he was pure, skillful and practical, as a Christian he was exemplary, for his life and words were a power for good. His funeral services were held in Westford, Oct. 26th in the Presbyterian Church. Rev. J.M. Chase of Worcester preached an able and affecting sermon. Some loving hands had draped the back of the church and pulpit with black, and tastefully decorated them with autumnal leaves, vines and ripened grain. The music was unusually appropriate and touching. All the services were very impressive and solemn, all present felt that a great and good man had passed away. Dr. John Drake's life was full of years, it was also full of noble and Christ like deeds.
