• Notes

  Dr.Samuel B. Martin, the oldest physician in Baltimore, died yesterday at his residence, number 133 East Pratt Street in the 91st year of his age. Dr. Martin had lived and practiced his profession for many years in the house where he died and but few residents of East Baltimore were better known or stood higher in public esteem. He was the surgeon of the Baltimore Association of Old Defenders and served with distinction at the battle of North Point. Dr. Martin was regular in his attendance at the annual gathering of the Old Defenders on the 12th of September until the infirmities of age prevented. He had been confined to his house for some time past. Dr. Martin was of the old school of Baltimore physicians, and was a successful practitioner before many now well known medical gentlemen were students.- The Baltimore Sun, Wednesday, December 22, 1875 Dr. Samuel Blair Martin studied medicine under Dr. James Smith of Baltimore; attended the University of Pennsylvania, 1806 or 1807; Surgeon, Packet Ship "Rebecca" and taken prisoner by the British; Surgeon, First Rifle Battalion of the Maryland Militia, 1814; captured at the Battle of Bladensburg; being released, took part in the Battle of North Point; M.D., (Honorary), University of Maryland, 1838; Orator, Medical and Chirurgical Faculty, 1851; Helath Officer, Baltimore; Surgeon to "Old Defenders."
