The genial gentleman whose name adorns this page. Dr. Henry F. Patch, of Chappaqua, New York, is one of the best known physicians and surgeons of Westchester county, where he has been engaged in practice for a period of twenty-four years, he having located here in 1874.

Dr. Patch was born December 7, 1839, in Francestown, New Hampshire, a son of William and Sallie (Stevans) Patch, representatives of families that were counted among the early settlers of New England. Dr. Patch's education, begun in the public schools, was carried forward at Francestown Academy and completed at Dartmouth Medical College, Hanover, New Hampshire, where he graduated with the class of 1866. In that year he opened an office in Harlin, and in 1874 became identified with Chappaqua, where he soon built up and has retained a large and lucrative practice.

The year of his location in New York, Dr. Patch was united in marriage to Miss Leonora Bull, a native of New York city, and their home circle includes four children, — Florence E., Lillie L. , Daisy M. and Harry F. Their charming abode is a historic place, it being the old Greeley homestead, where Horace Greeley produced one of his best works.

In social and fraternal circles the Doctor has a wide popularity. He is a member of several medical societies, among, them the Westchester Medical Society; also he is a member of Greeley Lodge, I. O. O. F. , of Chappaqua, of which he is the secretary.
