It has been stated by some of the descendants that his residence was at one time in San Francisco, Calif. As the husband died in 1842, it does not seem probable that the statement applies tohim, so it is assumed that his wife survived him and lived with her son, William Thomas,who mgrated to California. R038a The Fonda Family An Historical Address Delivered before the Dutchess County Medical Society at its CentennialMeeting, at Vassar Institute January 10th, 1906 The first evidence of real public spirit was shown by thesociety in 1812, when a committee of three was appointed to publish such information as it may be able to obtain in regard to thenature and methos of treatment of the prevailing epidemic...
