Notes
General:
" George M. Munsell, M.D., born December 14, 1835, at Burlington, is the only son of Rev. Joseph R. Munsell, for years pastor of the Congregational church at Harwich. Doctor Munsell's earlier education was received in Hampden and Belfast Academies, after which he studied medicine with Dr. C. M. Hulbert of South Dennis. In March, 1860, he graduated from the medical department of Harvard College, and at once commenced practice in Bradford, Me., where he remained one year. In 1861 he returned to Harwich as an associate of Dr. Fanklin Dodge. In July, 1862, he entered the army as first assistant surgeon of the Thirty-fifth Regiment of the Massachusetts Volunteers; but resigned his commission, April, 1863, on account of ill health and returned to Harwich, Mass., where he has since actively pursued the practice of medicine. He has been for eight years medical examiner of the county; as a member of the Massachusetts Medical Society he served one year as president of the Barnstable district and one as vice-president of the state society; and now is medical director of the state department of the G. A. R., also is on the national staff.
The doctor takes a keen interest in the social and civil affairs of life, in which he is an important factor. The interests of the G. A. R. have engaged his attention for several years, and four years he was commander of F. D. Hammond Post, which includes the towns of Harwich, Chatham, Eastham, Orleans, Brewster and Dennis. In November, 1889, he was elected the Republican representative from the second district of Barnstable county. In June, 1860, he married Lizzie K., daughter of Miller W. Nickerson, who was the son of Eleazer Nickerson of South Dennis. Their two daughters are : Louise H. and Lizzie T. Munsell. But few practitioners possess as fully as Doctor Munsell the respect and admiration of patients. His affability, practicability, and ambition to excel have made him successful in every walk of life. 5
