Doctor Vesta Delphine Freeman

1844 - 1908  (~ 64 years)

• Name	Vesta Delphine Freeman
  Title	Doctor
  Birth	ca 1844	Ketchumville, Tioga Co., New York, USA
  Gender	Female
  Death	25 Feb 1908	Boston, Suffolk Co., Massachusetts, USA
  Burial	Needham Cemetery, Needham, Norfolk Co., Massachusetts, USA
  Notes	Graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Boston. For ten years she was professor of Obstretrics and Gynecology in that institution, and she was member of many medical societies and other organizations. The History of Needham would be Incomplete without some reference to Dr. Vesta Delphlne Miller, who was devoted to many good causes, particularly to that of Temperance. For more than thirty years she practiced medicine, and was skilful, faithful and self-sacrificing, often in emergencies acting as nurse for many hours at a time, regardlessof her own health. Many families depended upon her as their physician and friend, and her comparatively sudden death on February 23, 1908, caused sorrow in numerous homes. Her funeral was on the afternoon of the 25th, and was largely attended, the Rev. Charles E. Sawtelle and the Rev. Robert L. Webb officiating. Mrs. Miller brought comfort and hope not only to many, who recovered from illness, but to others who could not, and no one was more sincerely esteemed than she was. She received the degree of M.D. from the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Boston, but had previously studied at the New England Female Medical College, 1865, and at the Cincinnati Medical College. Subsequent to obtaining her degree she attended the New York Post-Graduate Medical School.
