DR. BENJAMIN BARRETT Treasurer 1853-1864, President 1864-1867
Dr. Barrett was a son of New Hampshire, a graduate of Harvard College and Medical School, and a student of medicine with Dr. S. Warren Jackson. He made his residence in Northampton in 1823, and according to the custom of the time, was in partnership with several other physicians until he gave up his regular practice for that of a consulting physician. No one enjoyed a high and more respected position in the community than he; his genial personality, his generous helpfulness where need came to his notice, his undoubted honesty, his great energy, his grasp of affairs and common sense made him an outstanding figure, and it was but natural that he should be sought out for positions of public trust. He served for several years in the Massachusetts Senate, was president of the County Temperance Society and of the Hampshire District Medical Society, was treasurer and clerk of the Northampton Institution for Savings from 1853 to 1864 and was President of the Institution from 1864 to 1867.
