Dr. Erastus Cushing:

Erastus was the oldest man of his line for seven generations. He studied medicine with Dr. W. L. Tyler, of Lanesboro, from 1820 to 1823, attended lectures and hospitals in New York and Philadelphia. He graduated in Medicine at the Medical Department of Williams' College, at Pittsfield, Massachusetts, December 1824. He practiced his profession for ten years in Lanesboro', but worn by the hard work and the long winters, he removed, in October 1835, to Cleveland, Ohio, with his family. There he continued until his death. He ever held high place in the estimation of the public and his profession, as a man of character, ability and sound judgment. He retired from work at the age of seventy years.
Erastus Cushing (1802-1893), son of David and Freelove Jencks Cushing, moved west to Cleveland, the former Western Reserve of Connecticut, in 1835. After studying medicine with a local preceptor in Massachusetts, he took two formal courses of medicine at the college of Physicians and Surgeons and at the Berkshire Medical College in Pittsfield, Mass., where he received his M.D. in 1824. Later he attended lectures at the University of Pennsylvania, where he developed a special interest in obstetrics. Remembered as a kindly man, Erastus Cushing lectured at Cleveland Medical College and became one of city's most respected physicians.
