"By Prof. M. F. Daggett of Chatham.
Dr. Clinton J. Ricker,* who died at Chatham, Mass., March 15, 1886, was born at Great Falls, N. H., January 29, 1847. He was the youngest of the five children of Captain and Mrs. Josiah Clarke of Great Falls. His mother dying when he was but a few weeks old, and his father wishing to make a long journey from home, the boy was received into the home of Mr. and Mrs. Allen Ricker, residing near Milton Mills, N. H., who adopted and reared him as their son. Here he passed his boyhood days, receiving the meager advantages of the district school in winter and developing his muscles on the farm in summer.
His life was uneventful until he arrived at the age of sixteen years, when, like many other New England boys in that time of our country's greatest need, he determined to enter the service as a soldier the consent of his foster parents being refused on account of his youthful age, a compromise was effected by his going out as servant to his brother, C. Clarke, a captain of cavalry in the regular army, who promised to restrain the boy's youthful impetuosity and protect him from all harm. This promise was, however, unavailing, for in the heat of battle, though commanded to remain in the rear, he forgot his brother's rank and authority, and, burning with military ardor, he rushed into the fight and did effective service, bringing back as proofs of his contact with the enemy, wounds received from a rebel ball and sabre stroke.
In 1865 we find him at Milton Classical Institute, studying French, Latin, and other branches preparatory to a college course ; and later at Bowdoin College, Brunswick, Maine, from which he probably graduated in 1871, entering the Bowdoin Medical School the same year, where he took two courses of lectures. In 1873 and 1874 he continued his medical studies at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York city, taking high standing in a large class and graduating in 1874. He soon commenced the practice of his profession at New Market, N.H., and entered at about the same time into partnership in the drug business at Dover. His efforts in his chosen occupation seemed marked with success, his skill soon became known, and his practice largely increased. But reverses were in store for him. Hard work and exposure, incident to a large country practice, undermined a naturally strong constitution and he suffered a stroke of paralysis, which prostrated him for many months, and from which he never fully recovered. At the same time his business partner at Dover, taking advantage of Doctor Ricker's enforced absence, purchased a large stock of goods on as long credit as possible, and selling the goods at a discount for cash, absconded with the funds and drove the firm into bankruptcy. These and other financial losses, together with his long illness, prevented Doctor Ricker's return to practice at New Market, and the winter of 1878 he spent in Stockbridge, Mass., having been invited to care, temporarily, for the business of Doctor Miller.
Doctor Ricker next secured the appointment as assistant port physician at Boston, and here he was recognized as a skilful physician and competent official. This position he retained until his health, which had been for some years delicate, again broke down, and he was compelled by change of climate and a voyage at sea to seek its restoration.
In the fall of 1880 he came to Chatham, Mass., where he continued in practice during the remaining years of his life, and where his genial manners, sympathetic nature, and earnest efforts in behalf of his patients, as well as his marked ability as a physician and surgeon, won for him the enduring respect, confidence, and esteem of the people.
May 21,1879, Doctor Ricker was united in marriage to Miss Louise B. Martel, of Newton, Mass., a lady of intelligence, refinement and good education, a descendant of a family once famous in French history. This lady, who survives her husband, testifies to his having possessed the many excellent qualities of mind and heart that make the domestic life beautiful and happy.
Through life he was a student in his devotion to scientific and literary pursuits, and was a frequent contributor to magazines and newspapers. He was often invited to the lecture-platform, and both in New Hampshire and Massachusetts he frequently addressed large audiences, pronouncing in Chatham in 1882 one of the finest Memorial Day addresses ever delivered in this section of the state. His keen insight into abstruse subjects, his comprehensive view of public affairs, his just discrimination and impartial criticism, combined with brilliant conversational powers, purity of diction and a vivid imagination, made Dr. Clinton J. Ricker an interesting private companion and eloquent public speaker." 8

"1797.
The next preacher [at Provincetown] was Rev. Joseph Snelling, who preached on the sabbath, a part of the time, at Truro. He was followed by Rev. Robert Yallalee, who was the first minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church who preached in Wellfleet. He came here several times on invitation in the early part of 1797. After him, in these occasional visits, came Revs. Jacob Rickhow, Smith Weeks, John Broad-head, Joseph Snelling, Edward Whittle, Allen H. Cobb, Philip Munger, and Elijah Willard, all of whom were devout, self-sacrificing men of God. Some of our mothers in Israel can well remember all of them except the first two ; and some of their names are particularly endeared to New England Methodists." 11
