| He and his wife and one-year-old daughter Inez were living in Canaan when the 1880 census was taken. His occupation was teaching.
By 1900 he had a second wife and was living on 169 Elm Street in Everett, Mass. and working as a realtor. A 47-year-old boarder named Charles B. Mitchell was living with them. Ten years later they owned a home at 137 Elm Street in Everett and he was still a realtor. By the time he died in 1917 they had moved to 46 Irving Street in Everett. He was still a realtor.
When his second wife Melissa died in 1920 she went by the name of Emmeline Melissa and was living at 280 Ferry Street in Everett. She apparently had no next of kin with her as a Miss Seavy with Whidden Hospital was the informant and she didn't know many details such as her parents names or even her maiden name. |

- He was age 15 born in Maine in the 1870 census of Canaan, Maine. The 1900 of Everett, Mass. census gives Jun 1854 as the birth date. His death record gives the specific date and place. Death record says his father's name was Samuel but that was likely just a mistake. Mother's name was just her maiden name of Hussey. Informant was his second wife, who likely never knew his parents.

Jasper Hazen York
M, b. 27 February 1816, d. 7 April 1874
This research is a work in progress, taken from sources of varying reliability. The information should be verified before being relied upon.
| Birth* | Jasper Hazen York was born on 27 February 1816 in Lee, Strafford County, New HampshireG.1 |
| Death* | He died on 7 April 1874 in Dover, Strafford County, New HampshireG.1 |
| When he was two years of age his parents moved from Lee to Rochester, which place remained his home till he made one for himself in South Boston. In early boyhood he was noted for his love of books and studious habits. As he grew older the passion for an education took complete possession of him, and nothing short of a profession would satisfy his ambition. His father used every inducement to have him remain on the farm, but when he became convinced that this was utterly repugnant to the boy's desires, he reluctantly gave his consent that this son should choose his own life work.
After leaving the public schools he continued his studies at Phillips Exeter Academy. Then for several years he taught school in Kittery, Me., Dover, N.H., and other places. As a teacher he was wonderfully successful, not only in the public schools but in after years when he had a continuous succession of medical students in his office. He always took great interest in educational affairs, serving with signal success on the school committee in Boston for many years, proving himself one of the most efficient men that
board ever had.
He graduated from Harvard Medical College with honor in the year 1845. He soon settled in South Boston and immediately acquired a good practice. He was early noted for his surgical skill — in fact he had nearly all the surgery in South Boston — and also for his skill in diagnosis, seeming to arrive at correct conclusions almost intuitively. In every way he proved himself an able, skillful physician, winning the confidence of his patients and the respect of other medical men. Soon after he settled in South Boston he entered heartily into the anti-slavery movement, using freely his influence and his money to advance the interest of the cause, and ardently supporting Garrison, Wendell Phillips, Charles Sumner, and Theodore Parker in their warfare upon the great evil of slavery.
His parents were Free Will Baptists and he had been brought up in that faith, but about this time his religious thought underwent a change, so that he connected himself with the society over which Theodore Parker was pastor.
When the Know-Nothing party sprang into its ephemeral existence, and the Roman Catholics of Boston and elsewhere endeavored to put it down, Dr. York took strong sides with that party, because he believed in free thought, free speech, and absolutely
free government, and did not believe in uneducated, irresponsible men from other countries dominating and ruling native-born citizens. For the active part he took in this he came near being mobbed by the Catholics. He was fearless to the highest degree,
a man of decided convictions, and always ready to defend them, with his life if necessary.
A large number of medical students graduated from his office with honor both to themselves and to him, among whom may be mentioned his nephew. Dr. John Colby York, Dr. W. H. Page of Rochester, Dr. William Sprague, Dr. J. F. Frisbie of Rochester, Dr. S. C. Whittier, Dr. W. H. Westcott, and others.
When the civil war broke out he was intensely loyal, believing the end of slavery would result. Having offered his services to the United States government, he was stationed at Fairfax Seminary Hospital, Va., and Armory Square Hospital in Washington, D. C.
In 1865, following a too close application to his professional work, he was prostrated with disease of the stomach from which he never recovered. Several times he relinquished practice and partly regained his health, but his active disposition would not long allow him to rest, and a return to his work brought back the disease, and after a lingering and painful illness he died in Dover. He had removed to that city several years before, where he purchased a small farm, hoping the outdoor life might prove beneficial. For a short time his difficulty to some extent abated, but the disease proved too deeply seated to be easily eradicated. In 1860 he married Mary Elsie Watts, daughter of Charles S. Watts, Esq., of South Boston, who, with one daughter, survives him.2 |
