BISHOP, HERBERT MARTIN – Cleave’s Biographical Cyclopædia of Homoeopathic Physicians and Surgeons By E. Cleave

ISHOP,
HERBERT MARTIN, M. D., of Norwich, Conn., was born in New London,
Conn., January 15th, 1844. He was educated in the public schools of that
city, and on graduating from the High School, at once commenced the
study of medicine under the direction of Dr. O. Sites, a skilful homœopathic
physician of that place ; he, however, attended two courses of
lectures at Yale Medical College, and graduated from that institution,
in 1865. January 19th, of the same year, he was commissioned Assistant
Surgeon of the 1st Connecticut Cavalry Volunteers, and immediately
joined the regiment, then stationed near Winchester, Va., and remained
with it through the various battles of the last campaign of the war, and
until the regiment was mustered out of service. Though in the field but
a short time, he yet acquired a valuable surgical experience, and on
several occasions rendered most efficient service. Returning to civil
life, he determined to consummate his long cherished purpose and study
homœopathy, and accordingly attended lectures at the New York
Homœopathic Medical College, and graduated in 1867, having meanwhile
improved to the utmost the many advantages afforded by the various
hospitals in and about the city. In March, 1867, he commenced practice
as a homœopath in the city of Norwich, Conn., where he has attained an
excellent practice and an enviable reputation. In January, 1869, he
married Miss Ella E. Spalding of Norwich. Dr. Bishop has been the
examining physician for several Insurance Companies, he is a prominent
and an active member of the Connecticut State Homœopathic Medical
Society, and in June, 1869, became a member of the American Institute of
Homœopathy.
