Dr. S. E. Shattuck was bom in the village of 

 Branchport, Yates Co., N. Y., May 27, 1829. He 

 was second in a family of four children, the others' 

 names being Darwin and Sarah (Mrs. John Town- 

 send), of Sewell, and Eebecca (Up Degraff ) Shattuck, 

 the former a native of Massachusetts, the latter a 

 native of Philadelphia, Pa. 



His father was a farmer the greater part of his life, 

 and died at the age of seventy-eight. His mother 

 died at the age of seventy-six. 



Dr. Shattuck received his preliminary education 

 at the common schools at home, and at the Franklin 

 Academy at Prattsburgh, followed by a few terms 

 in teaching. At the age of twenty he began the study 

 of medicine with Dr. D. N. Newton, of Towanda, 

 Pa., with whom he continued one year, followed by 

 a course of study of some three years with Dr. E. 

 Doubleday, of Yates Co., N. Y. He was for three 

 terms a student at the Geneva Medical College and 

 Buffalo University, and was graduated M.D. from 

 the former institution in June, 1851. 



The same year (October), he came to Hornellsville, 



sand began the practice of medicine, at which place he 



has since remained continuously in the practice of his 



profession. He is now a physician of some twenty- 

 seven years' standing, a greater number than any 

 other now a resident of the village of Hornellsville. 



Unassisted pecuniarily in early life, Dr. Shattuck 

 has, by self-exertion, and that integrity of purpose 

 characteristic of his professional and business career, 

 received not only the confidence of the citizens as a 

 practitioner, but has, by sagacity in business relations, 

 accumulated a fine property. As a result of his in- 

 dustry, may be seen on Broad Street, Hornellsville, 

 one of the finest blocks in Steuben County. 



He has not been actively connected in political 

 circles, but ever interested in the questions affecting 

 local and national good. He was first identified with 

 the Whig party, and upon the formation of the Re- 

 publican party became a supporter of its principles. 

 He has never sought political emolument or the pub- 

 licity that office brings, yet in local matters has been 

 once chosen as president of the village of Hornells- 

 ville, and in the spring of 1878 was elected super- 

 visor of the town on the Greenback ticket. 



In July, 1851, he married Harriet, daughter 

 of John B. Hinman, of Bradford Co., Pa. They 

 have living an only daughter, Hattie.
