January 31, 1824 ~ July 23, 1889
From the 25th Anniversary publication
of the Yale College Class of 1846
 Edward Griffin Bartlett, son of James and Lucy Bartlett,
descended from the family of that name in Maine, "where
for generations they have been farmers," was born at
Portsmouth, N.H., January 31, 1824. He fitted for college
in the law office of Albert Hatch, Esq., and entered with the
class. After graduating, he went to New York, and was
for a time a member of the Union Theological Seminary; but
his health was not firm, and in 1849 he entered the New York
University Medical School. In 1850 he took his M.D., and
entered at once into practice.
In January, 1856, he removed to Madison, Wisc., resided
there two and a half years, thereby acquiring a knowledge of
the diseases of the West, and, he mirthfully adds, "having
myself had one not put down in the books, 'land speculation fever,' which proved only fatal to the amount
of money invested, as the bottom all fell out of the West in 1857."
He returned soon after to New York, and succeeded in securing a lucrative practice in a few years as
a homeopathic physician. He has occasionally written for the medical journals. His taste for painting
he can gratify only to a limited degree. His voice has lost none of its musical qualities. He married
Jane Ball, only daughter of Dr. A.S. Ball, of New York City on September 24, 1850. They have
had eight children, of whom the following survive: Jennie, born 1855; Willie, born 1859 (now at the
school of our classmate, Lyon); Helen, born 1863; Lucy, born 1865; Mary, born 1859. Dr. Bartlett
is a member of the Broadway Tabernacle Church, Rev. J.P. Thompson, DD (Yale College 1838),
pastor. His residence is 43 West 11th Street, near 5th Avenue, New York.
