Patrick Gilroy was born during March 1827 in Ireland and his future wife Catherine Mooney Gilroy was also born in Ireland in 1827. The Find a Grave website lists Catherine as being born two years earlier but all census records show them as being the same age or a one year difference in age.1 Sometime before June 1848, they immigrated to the United States and settled in Piqua, Miami County, Western Ohio. It was there in June of 1848, their first son Thomas P. Gilroy was born. To date the family has not been found on a passenger list.2 On August 8, 1850, the family was living in Piqua, Washington Township, Miami County, Ohio. They were the 497th family to be enumerated by the census taker but he spelled their surname Killroy. Patrick was a 26 year old carpenter and Catherine was 26 years old. Thomas Gilroy was two years old. Living with the family was Bridget Mooney, Catherine’s eight year old sister who was born in Ireland and had attended school within the year. 3 Medical education in the United States in the early years “was about differences that were both accepted and practiced among all manner of healers.” But, until the 1870s several movements occurred that changed traditional medicine and its therapeutic practices into the “professional schools modeled on the German ideal.” 4 These movements included “democratic medicine” which included commercialization of medical education. The College of Medicine of Maryland in 1807 was the first medical institution formed outside the colleges and universities and medical societies. Competition to this “democratic medicine” soon appeared and among the first was the practice of allopathy, from the Greek word allos, or different, and pathos, meaning disease. In short, allopathy meant treating a disease with remedies that would act contrary to the disease. Competing with this school was Homeopathy or similia similibus curantur meaning like cures like. Homeopathy led to using purgative medicines to treat diarrhea, emitting remedies for vomiting, and opium and other astringents for constipation. Then, the school of botanics entered the scene. This resulted in the use of herbal medicines. The Thomsonians originated with Samuel Thomson (1769-1843) but little was new except for the substitution of botanic medicines for mineral-based drugs. Yet another movement, the eclectics came out of the botanic movement in the 1820s.5 The eclectic movement must have impressed Irish immigrant Patrick Gilroy because some time during 1851-52 he decided to leave the carpentry business and pursue a medical degree from the Eclectic Medical Institute in Cincinnati, Ohio. 6

When Patrick Gilroy enrolled, the college had already “rid itself of Homeopathy.” However, historically the first Homeopathic physicians in the West graduated from the Eclectic and Homeopathic Institute. Gilroy was not able to study under then famous president, Dr. Thomas Vaughan Morrow who died July 16, 1850. Following Dr. Morrow’s death financial concerns caused the Institute to contact the Memphis, Tennessee Medical Institute resulting in five of the members of that faculty resigning and joining the Cincinnati Institute. 8 Upon enrollment, Gilroy was faced with fees of $100, or a well-indorsed note of $125, for a ticket to a full course of lectures, a matriculation fee of $5, a graduation fee of $15 and a Demonstrator’s ticket of $5. The course of lectures included: Theory and Practice of Medicine, Pathology, Surgical Practice and Operative Surgery, Obstetrics and Diseases of Women and Children, Anatomy, Materia Medica and Medical Botany, Chemistry, Pharmacy and Toxicology. 9

Sometime between his graduation and early 1855 the Gilroy family moved to Appleton, Cape Girardeau County, Missouri. On January 29, 1855, Patrick Gilroy purchased and paid $50 cash to Singleton H. and Sarah G. Kimmel, for the following property in Appleton:

“Beginning at a stone being the northeast corner of a lot heretofore conveyed to one Martin Born now deceased, thence west along said Born’s line to a stone being the northwest corner of said Born’s lot, thence northeast to the line dividing lots 6 and 7 in the northeast corner of Section 4, in Township 33 North, [Range] 12 East, thence east along said line to the road or street, thence south to the beginning.”

The deed was recorded May 19, 1857. Born bought his lot from Kimmel August 2, 1844, and was a blacksmith. The area was settled in 1824 by John McLane and John Scholtz. Located on Apple Creek in Northern Cape Girardeau County, it was first known as Apple Creek Village and later as Appleton. The town was laid out by John McLane and recorded in the Cape Girardeau County Recorder’s office April 2, 1847. The village soon became populated and “…was an active

business point during the 50s.” Catherine’s sister, Bridget made the move with them. The Gilroys would sell the Appleton property to a Samuel Doeing in June of 1863.10

A second son, John Alfred Gilroy was born in 1858, and then a daughter Katherine Macceutia “Kate” Gilroy was born in March 1860, both in Appleton, Cape Girardeau County, Missouri. 11

September 8, 1860 found 36 year old Patrick Gilroy practicing medicine in Appleton, Apple Creek Township, Cape Girardeau County, Missouri. He had accumulated a wealth of $1000 in Real Estate and $1000 in Personal property. Thirty-five year old Catherine is shown on the census along with sons 12 year old Thomas W.[P] Gilroy and three year old John A. Gilroy, six-month old daughter Catherine Gilroy and 15 year old sister-in-law Bridget Mooney. Thomas was in school at the time.12 Eighteen sixty-one saw the war clouds hover over the United States and Southeast Missouri did not escape the coming storm. Being close to the Perry County line, Patrick Gilroy, along with several other Cape Girardeau County men, enrolled in Samuel P. Simpson’s Union 4th Regiment Missouri Six Months Militia Infantry at Perryville, Missouri, on October 10, 1861 and was appointed surgeon in the unit. Simpson’ s regiment served at Pilot Knob and Ironton, Missouri until February 25, 1862, when it was mustered out at Ironton. 13 Upon mustering out of the Six Months Militia Dr. Gilroy moved his family to Cape Girardeau in 1862 and according to an article in the Southeast Missourian took up residence at 223 South Spanish, a two-story brick house. According to the article the “shutters and balcony are original (1972) and are of a design similar to ones found on homes in [the] New Orleans’ French Quarter.” However, the 1912 Cape Girardeau City Directory lists the residence as 221 South Spanish. Other sources list it as 227 South Spanish.14

Soon after settling in Cape Girardeau Dr. Gilroy returned to Federal service. He joined Colonel William H. McLane’s 56th Regiment Enrolled Missouri Militia Infantry at Cape Girardeau on October 4, 1862 and was appointed Regimental Surgeon.

15 However, Dr. Gilroy was treating soldiers at the Cape before his enlistment in the 56th E.M.M. On September 2, 1862, he reported the death of Private Joseph Etchin, of Company B, 1st Wisconsin Cavalry, of chronic laryngitis. The death was reported at the Post Hospital. The location of this Post Hospital is not known, but may have been in the St. Charles Hotel as records of other soldiers indicate that location. The first known death of a Federal soldier at the Cape was Private Richard Russell, Company D, 8th Missouri Volunteer Infantry, who died of typhoid fever on August 11, 1861. Twenty-four deaths were reported during 1861.16

Early in 1862 the Provost Marshal supplied a list to headquarters in St. Louis of 66 men noting their post office address, political view [party] prior to 1861, political view [Doubtful, Rebel, Union, or Sympathizer] in 1861, political opinions Jan. 1862 [Doubtful, Radical or Conservative] and occupations. Dr. Gilroy was listed as a Benton Democrat prior to 1861, Union sympathizer in 1861, and politically a Radical in 1862. His occupation was listed as M.D. 17 On October 16, 1862, Zalma Block was ordered to turn over the Johnson House Hotel to the US Army to serve as a Post Hospital. While serving with the 56th EMM, Dr. Gilroy was assigned to the Cape Girardeau Johnson House Post Hospital as Assistant Post Surgeon serving under Surgeon David Abbey. Dr. Abbey was Assistant Surgeon of the 29th Missouri Volunteer Infantry and was also serving as Post Surgeon at the time. Dr. Abbey served as Post Surgeon until relieved on November 12, 1862. 18 With Dr. Abbey’s relief as Post Surgeon, Dr. Gilroy took possession of the Post Hospital until November 24, 1862, when Surgeon Henry M. Matthews of the 12th Missouri State Militia Cavalry was appointed by Headquarters as Post Surgeon. Patrick Gilroy returned to the position of Assistant Post Surgeon. 19 During this short period of service as Post Surgeon, not all patients were satisfied with Dr. Gilroy’s treatment. On November 14, 1862, Dr. Gilroy wrote to General John Davidson in St. Louis, recommending 1st Lieutenant Robert S. Widdicombe, Company A, 29th Missouri Volunteer Infantry, who had been suffering from typhoid fever for five weeks, should, “in order to save his life, go north for thirty days.” Lieutenant Widdicombe, writing from Hudson, New York, on November 30th, to his commander Colonel John S. Cavender, stated, “I also informed you [November 15th], I should have been with the regiment had I not have been maltreated by an illiterate quack. I have suffered ten deaths unnecessarily on account of the maltreatment. Had I had a skillful surgeon like Dr. Morgan, I should have escaped much of the suffering I have gone through.” Widdicomb, who had a post office address of Washington, DC, would resign July 18, 1863.20 On December 16, 1862, a third son, James William, was born to Doctor and Catherine Gilroy in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. 21 In the year 1862, 78 deaths were reported at Cape Girardeau, 27 by Acting Assistant Surgeon Gilroy. 22 During December 1862 and January 1863, Dr. Matthews remained as Post Surgeon and Dr. Gilroy assisted him as Assistant Post Surgeon, still serving in the 56th EMM during this time. Surgeon Matthews remained as Post Surgeon until February 15, 1863, when he was replaced by Surgeon Tarrant A. Perkins, ordered to the Cape by Dr. Madison Mills, Department Medical

Director. 23 After February 1863 Surgeons and Assistant Surgeons were no longer entered on the Post Returns. Sometime during late April and early May Dr. Perkins was replaced by Surgeon Henry A. Martin of the U.S. Volunteers as Post Surgeon at the Cape. Dr. Martin reported his first death at the Cape on May 6, 1863. Dr. Patrick Gilroy again began to report deaths at the post July 3, 1863. 24 During July 1863 the local newspaper ran an article on Dr. Patrick Gilroy being appointed Assistant Surgeon at the Post:

We learn that Dr. P. Gilroy has received the appointment of Assistant Surgeon at this Post. We congratulate the Dr., and hope he may prove as successful in his military practice as he has heretofore with all patients whom he has attended in the “Cape.” We predict for him a brilliant career, and recommend him to his military patients as a skillful surgeon, and a gentleman in every respect. 25

By the middle of August Dr. Henry A. Martin was ordered to Pilot Knob and according to the local newspaper, Dr. Gilroy was appointed Post Surgeon:

Post Surgeon

Dr. P. Gilroy, who was lately appointed Assistant Surgeon at this post, has received the appointment as Post Surgeon and has entered upon his duties. We hope to see the Doctor rise to the rank of Medical Inspector General. Henry A. Martin, late Post Surgeon, has been relieved of duty at this post, and ordered to report to General Fisk, at Pilot Knob. He is appointed Medical Director for this District. 26

During 1863, 77 deaths were reported at the Cape. Dr. Gilroy reported 23 of the total. 27 In October 1863 the Cape Girardeau Post Return does not show deaths at the Post but Death Registers show six enlisted men died at the post during October. A report in the local newspaper by Dr. Gilroy confirms the six deaths:

Monthly Hospital Report

We are indebted to Dr. P. Gilroy, the efficient surgeon in charge of the Post Hospital at this place for the following statement of mortality at this institution for the past month: William Miller, Co. I, 2nd Missouri Artillery, died October 16th William Bresshors, Co. I, 2nd Missouri Artillery, died October 22nd Patrick Leonard, Co. I, 2nd Missouri Artillery, died October 25th John Edwards, Co.

Early in December Dr. Gilroy gave a tour of the Post Hospital to the editors of the local newspaper. They reported their observations as follows:

The Post Hospital

On Saturday last, in company with Post Surgeon Gilroy, we took a stroll through the Post Hospital at this place. We found the institution managed, in our opinion, equal to any similar institution in the country. It is divided into wards, so that all patients afflicted with similar complaints are kept in rooms together and each room as neat as a new pin. The patients all had good warm fires, and had it not been for the number present, we might have thought ourselves in some private house, so cozy did everything seem. The great dread of being sick in a hospital, that so oppresses almost every one at first, is here done away with, and the comforts and surroundings of a home are substituted in its stead. Under Dr. Gilroy’s management all moves like clockwork, free and easy. 29

The December 31, 1863, Cape Post Return shows four enlisted deaths at the post, but other records show five enlisted men died at the post during December. The fifth man shown on the Death Registers and Service Records was 22 year old Private Edward Fannin, Company M, of the 1st Missouri Cavalry, who died December 30 of an accidental pistol shot wound on December 19. Dr. Gilroy reported the Post Mortem. The four deaths accounted for on the Post Return were all members of the 2nd Missouri State Militia Cavalry who died of disease.30 The year 1864 began early on New Year’s Day when young ladies of the Ladies’ Union Aid Society in Cape Girardeau made the rounds of various military offices and stores to collect for a dinner to be given that day for the sick soldiers in the Post Hospital. The local newspaper editors witnessed the collection of $18 in the Post Quartermaster’s office while the editors and soldiers were drinking egg nog. In the same paper a card was printed expressing the sincere thanks of the attendants and patients of the Post Hospital:

A Card

CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO., Jan. 4. At a meeting of the patients and attendants of the U.S.A. Hospital the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: Resolved, That we return our sincere thanks to the Union ladies of Cape Girardeau, and to all who contributed, for the bountiful dinner provided for us on New Year’s Day. Resolved. That the patriotism and liberality of the Union ladies of Cape Girardeau are deserving of the highest praise, and their kindness to us on that occasion, will always be remembered with feelings of deepest gratitude. Resolved, That we also thank the Union citizens of this place for their many former acts of kindness to the sick and wounded of this Hospital. A.M. WHITING, Chairman S.N. Goodhue, Secretary 31

In February 1864 Dr. Gilroy was appointed Pension Surgeon of the Third District, which included Cape Girardeau. The local newspaper regarded it as “a good appointment.” 32 The ladies’ Union Relief Association met in Cape Girardeau on March 23, 1864, and appointed a committee to raise funds for the Mississippi Valley Sanitary Fair. Included on the committee were the Post Commandant Colonel John B. Rogers, of the 2nd Missouri State Militia Cavalry, and Dr. Gilroy, the Post Surgeon at the time. The Fair was held during May and June of 1864 and raised over $550,000 to aid Union troops. 33 In addition to the duties of Post Surgeon, Dr. Gilroy apparently had responsibility for the treatment of sick refugees too. On June 14, 1864, he advertised in the local newspaper for rations as “the rations supplied by Government being insufficient, a portion of said refugees being women and children, for whom no necessary clothing is supplied,” he asked for contributions from the populace. 34 Dr. Gilroy would continue to report deaths at the post until late September 1864, when Assistant Surgeon William A. Wilcox was appointed Post Surgeon. Dr. Wilcox did not retain Dr. Gilroy as assistant. 35 Sixty-one deaths were reported at Cape Girardeau during 1864, 26 of them reported by Dr. Gilroy. 36 By December 1864 Dr. Gilroy was back in private practice as advertised in the local newspaper:
