"Among the honored physicians of the county perhaps there were none better known than Dr. Luther Cory, of Kane. He was a native of New Jersey, born February 18, 1789. When he was but a few months old his parents moved to Addison County, Vt., where they spent the balance of their lives. The doctor was reared there among the rugged hills of his adopted home, receiving his literary education at the Castleton Academy, Vt. When about twenty-one years of age he commenced the study of medicine and attended lectures at Castleton, securing there a diploma. He commenced the practice of medicine at Bridgeport, Vt., in 1813. ... He served two terms in the Vermont legislature. He practiced his profession at the above place over thirty years, when in October, 1844, he came to Greene County, locating at Kane, carrying on a farm and practicing medicine. He died here on July 20, 1850."
