Dr. John Van Pelt Quackenbush died in Albany June 8, 1876.
His father John N. Quackenbush was trained to the profession of Law, but his interests at an early period forced his attention to other affairs, and he became largely concerned in the lumber trade — one of the most important departments of business in Albany. Dr. John Quackenbush when a boy lived among his books and found his chief diversion in games that called into exercise his ingeunity or his love for fun. At school he easily maintained high rank. His preparatory studies for college were pursued at the Albany Academy, and he entered an advanced class at Williams College, joining the Sophomore class in 1835; the same diligence, love of study and thoughtful manner characterizcd him in college that marked him at home. While in college he became a member of the “Sigma Phi” society. Of his studies he specially excelled in the Classics, and in the Junior year of his college course he was assigned the honor of delivering the Greek oration. He was honorably graduated at Williams College in 1838. He then commenced the study of Medicine in the office of Dr. Peter Wendell, of Albany, and received his diploma of Doctor of Medicine in 1842 from the Albany Medical College. During the period of his medical course he was noted for his earnest and energetic. devotion to study. He opened an office at once, after being qualified for practice, and such was the early recognition of his powers that he was soon surrounded by a large circle of patients. It was the habit of close observation of his patients, the critical scrutinizing study of their conditions and symptoms that gave him his unequivocal confidence in his diagnosis. In 1855 Dr. Quackenbush became Professor of Obstetrics amid Diseases of Women at the Albany Medical College, where his suavity and tact made him exceedingly popular with the students. In 1 868 he became President of the Medical Society of the State of New York. He occupied the position of Surgeon-General of the State of New York, under the administration of Governor Seymour, for two years during the war of the Rebellion, which made his office arduous and responsible but he conducted all its affairs with ability and faithfuliness. He took occasion during his term of office to visit the theatre of war and to personally inspect the solders’ hospitals. He took a lively interest in political matters and was well informed in public affairs.
His latest position in his profession was that of delegate from the Medical Society of the State of New York to the International Medical Congress, to be held in Philadelphia in September of the Centennial year. He was famed for his intellectual quickness and discernment that seemed like the insight of genius and made his timely judgments of great value. His love of justice and fair play came in to intensify his influence where differences existed. This love of justice always swayed him in matters of right and wrong. In his relations with his medical associates he was ever genial, affable and sympathetic. He early made it his rule to answer every summons that he could to render professional assistance and advice. He believed that he was responsible to God for the right use of his attainments in knowledge and skill in behalf of suffering humanity, and maintained that he would be acting unworthily toward himself, and contravening the humane spirit of a liberal profession by withholding assistance when invoked, because the sufferer had not recognized medical distinctions and had become the patient of a practitioner un-associated with himself.—(Extracts from obituary by C. A. Robertson, M. D., of Albany.

Stephen P. Quackenbush is now a Commodore in the United States Navy.
Commodore Quackenbush entered the navy as midshipman February 1840. His first cruise was in the Sloop of war “Boston,” around the world, and since lie has been actively engaged in ditties pertaining to his profession. He participated in the engagement (naval) at Vera Cruz during the Mexican war serving on board of the Sloop of war, “Albany”, as Passed midshipman At the breaking out of the Rebellion, he was a Lieutenant on board of the U. S. Frigate “Congress,” Flag Ship of the Brazil station. When war was declared the “Congress” returned home and during the continuance of the war he was actively engaged, commanding the following vessels, viz.: “Delaware,” “Unadilla,” “Mingoe,” “Pequot,” and “Patapsco,” which latter vessel was blown up by a torpedo off Fort Sumpter, and out of a crew of one hundred and four, sixty-one men were lost; seven officers out of twelve. While commanding the “Unadilla,” off Charleston Harbor, he captured the blockade runner “Princess Royal,” a most important acquisition for our government, as she was intended for a cruiser in the confederacy, and had on board steam engines for an Iron-clad; Whitworth guns, powder, shot and shell in large quantities as also a machine for cutting steel-pointed shot. This was one of the most important captures for our government that occurred during the rebellion, and the loss to the Confederate government cannot be estimated. From the sale of this vessel and cargo, the treasury gained nearly one-quarter of a million dollars. While in command of the steamer “Pequot,” he captured the blockade runner (steamer) “Don,” having blankets for the confederate troops. His services in the sounds of North Carolina were recognized and appreciated by Flag-officer Goldsborough and General Burnside, as also by Vice-admiral Rowan then captain, whose flag he carried on board of the “Delaware” which ship Commander Quackenbush, then Lieutenant-commander, commanded in the battles of Roanoke Island, Elizabeth City and Newbern.
