DOCTOR WILL RETIRE

After twenty-two years of practicing in this village, Dr. Frederic Crounse is about to retire from active life and enjoy a much needed rest.

Dr. “Fred,” as he is best known, was born in the old village of Knowersville, the son of the late Charles Crounse and grandson of the late Frederic Crounse, a widely known physician of his day. He received part of his education in the local district school, and in 1891 was graduated from the Albany Medical College….

In 1891 he returned to Altamont. During his twenty-two years here Dr. Crounse has built up an extensive business and made a most enviable reputation for himself. He is known throughout the Helderberg district and his friends are numbered by legions....

The doctor has disposed of his practice and real estate to Dr. A. I. Cullen of Delanson, who will take possession May 1. Dr. Crounse, however, will remain until May 15 introducing Dr. Cullen. He will then take a much needed and well earned rest.

Although it is with the deepest regret that we see him leave our village, we cannot fail to rejoice in his good fortune. He has worked long and faithfully, and surely the reward of a retired and care-free life is due him.
