CLASS OF 1865

Dr. Ammi Ruhamah Hahn died at his home in Boston, March 30, from the effects of a paralytic shock which he received some five years ago. Doctor Hahn was born in Monmouth, Maine, October 19, 1841, his parents being Jacob and Sally (Morse) Hahn. His mother was a lineal descendant of Governor William Bradford of the Plymouth Colony. The family removed to East Boston in 1854, and his preparatory education was obtained at the East Boston Grammar School and the Boston Latin School. After graduation he studied medicine with Dr. William H. Thorndike of Boston and at Harvard, receiving his medical degree in 1869, After service in the Boston City Hospital he began practice in Chicago. Being burned out in the great fire of 1871, he returned to Boston and entered into partnership with his former preceptor, Doctor Thorndike. After a few years they dissolved, and he opened an office by himself at 35 Chelsea St., East Boston, where he lived until October, 1886. He then moved to 13 Central Square, and practiced there until 1892. He then removed to 13 Batavia St., on the Back Bay, and gave up practice. He devoted considerable time to travel, making two trips to Europe, and lived winters in Washington, D. C., for several years, until his illness of five years ago. He was a member of the Massachusetts Medical Society, and had held some office in the society, but otherwise always refused to accept a public office. He was married Jan. 3, 1883, to Sarah Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Robert W. and Julia (Hobart) Stimpson of Somerville, Mass., who survives him. Their only child, a son, died in infancy.

The last number of the MAGAZINE noted the resignation by Rev. Dr. Henry I. Cushman of his long pastorate with the First Universalist church of Providence, R. I. The society has declined to accept the resignation, and Doctor Cushman has been persuaded to reconsider and remain with his people.
