7 N108. Wyoming Reporter (NY) (newspaper) digital scans published on the internet at fultonhistory.com, 1906 May 16. "Dr. Bleeker Lansing Hovey, one [of] the oldest and best known physicians of Rochester, died at his home on North Fitzhugh Street on Saturday, May 5th in his 89th year. Dr. Hovey was born in Warsaw, his father, Eliphalet Hovey, being a farmer of that town. His grandfather, Josiah Hovey, settled in Warsaw in 1798. Dr. Hovey's mother, Sally Knapp, was a daughter of William Knapp who came from Vermont to Warsaw in 1802. After having attended the common school, Dr. Hovey took a course of study at Middlebury Academy in this village and later took an academic course in Lima Seminary. In 1838, he began the study of medicine with Dr. Thomas Spencer of the Geneva Medical School. He was graduated in the class of 1843, and began the practice of his profession in Dansville, where he remained for 16 years. During the Civil War he served as surgeon of the 136th Regiment, New York Volunteer Infantry and was also surgeon of the United States Volunteers and Eleventh Army Corp. He was in many of the important battles of the war. His wife was Marilla Danforth, who assisted in caring for the wounded during the war and who was one of the few women afterwards pensioned by the government. She died in 1899. Dr. Hovey, who always took an interest in the scenes of his boyhood, was a guest of Col. Mc Clure during the Warsaw Centennial. ."
