HANRAHAN, JOHN D., M. D., Rutland, Vt., a native of County Limerick,
Ireland; was graduated in medicine from the University of the City of
New York, 1867; in June, 1861, he was, on examination (not having
graduated), appointed surgeon in the United States Navy, and served
through the entire Civil War. The vessels on which he served did duty
mostly on the rivers of Virginia and North Carolina, where he served
with the army as well as the navy, thereby having the benefit and
experience of both branches of the service, especially in the surgical
line. In August, 1863, the vessel on which he was serving was captured
at the mouth of the Rappahannock River and all on board made
prisoners. They were taken overland to Richmond where they were
confined in Libby Prison. At that time the Confederates were very
short of surgeons and medical supplies, and he was asked if he would
go over to Belle Island and attend the Union prisoners. After
consulting his fellow-prisoners he consented, and for six weeks he
attended the sick and wounded Union prisoners faithfully, under very
great disadvantages, as the appliances were very limited. After that
he was paroled. While a prisoner of war he was treated with the
greatest courtesy and consideration by the medical staff and officers
of the Confederacy. After the close of the war he was settled in New
York City, but for nearly forty years has been a resident of Rutland,
Vt. He was town and city physician of Rutland for many years. He was
appointed surgeon of the Third Vermont Regiment, 1871, by Governor
Stewart; was the first President of the Rutland County Medical and
Surgical Society; has been a director and consulting surgeon of the
Rutland (Vt.) Hospital; consulting surgeon to the Fanny Allen
Hospital, Winooski, Vt.; a member of the Vermont Sanitary Association,
and a member of the Vermont Society for the Prevention of
Tuberculosis; President of Rutland Village two years and trustee eight
years; county commissioner one year; President, United States pension
examining board four years under President Cleveland, and President of
the same board four years under President Harrison. He was postmaster
