DR. J. J. SAWYER, son of Thomas P. and Ann L. Sawyer, was born in Monroe county,
New York, in the year 1840, where he was reared and educated. He attended for
two years lectures in the medical department of the University of Buffalo,
graduating from that institution in February, 1865, the degree of M. D. being
conferred upon him by ex-President Millard Fillmore, then president of the
college. Dr. Sawyer then went into the government service at Camp Douglas, Ill.,
as acting assistant surgeon, U. S. A. From there he was transferred to Troy Road
barracks, Troy, New York, where he was post surgeon until the close of the war
and the disbanding of the army, when he resigned his position and went to
Michigan. He practiced for three years in that state, after which he came to
California, and located at Cherokee, Butte county. Here he had an extensive
practice, being also physician for the great Spring Valley hydraulic mine. From
there he went to Quincy, Plumas county, where he had charge of the county
hospital, and was surgeon of the Plumas-Eureka mine. Some years ago he removed
to Sierra City, his present home, where, in addition to his large outside
surgical practice, he holds the position of surgeon for the Sierra Buttes mine
and the Marguarite mine. Dr. Sawyer was married in 1872, to Miss Maria L. Glass
of Cherokee, California. One daughter, Anna, was born to them in Quincy, in
1875. The doctor has a very complete dispensary in Sierra City.
