Wooster Parker GiDDiNGS,of Gardiner, comes from old England stock after six generations of New England growth. George Giddings, his ancestor, left St. Albans, Hertfordshire, Eng., with three servants, and landed in Boston, April 2, 1635 -- settling in Ipswich, Mass. Thomas Giddings, his grandfather, a skillful ship carpenter, removed with his family from Ipswich in 1813, and settled on a farm in China, Me., where he raised a family of four children.
Thomas, the oldest, born in Ipswich, became a stock dealer, and was noted for the thrifty management of his farm. He married Lucinda Starrett, of China, and to them were born three children: Elizabeth, Samuel and Wooster P.-- the latter May 11, 1840. At the age of fifteen Wooster exchanged the district school and the surroundings of his boyhood for a course of study at New Hampton, N. H., preparatory for college. In addition to this he devoted considerable time to the development and practice of a natural taste for sketching, designing and engraving, and acquired great facility in the use of pencils and the engraver's tools. This acquisition has been of immense benefit in his profession, enabling him to execute exact drawings of the natural or morbid appearance of any organ or structure of the human body -- than which no use of the artist's pencil requires more delicate manipulations, or makes more difficult demands. His anatomical and pathological portfolios are a revelation and a study to the professional, and a marvel to all.
After the proper course of study he graduated from the medical department of Harvard College in the class of 1870. His first practice was in Waltham, Mass., where his time was partially occupied in engraving. In 1871 he settled in Ward 25, Boston, whence he came to Gardiner in 1880.
Since coming to Gardiner Doctor Giddings has easily advanced to the front rank of his profession in central Maine. He is fortunate in that unusual combination and balance of qualities that make their possessor equally adapted to the art of healing and to the practice of surgery. He has an active temperament, quick observation, fine perception and that reflection that ultimates in the good judgment of the practitioner, and he has also a promptness of decision and a certain understanding and mastery of mechanical operations that is the foundation of successful surgery.
These qualities, animated by that divine principle of growth that keeps a perpetual student and learner abreast with the freshest fact and thought, are full explanation of the wide demand for Doctor Gidding's professional services that has long existed. His thorough knowledge and peculiar gifts of explanation and illustration to the satisfaction of courts, and the understanding of juries, bring his services in more than frequent demand, as an expert.
He is highly esteemed by his professional brethren, who regard as of special value the many papers and addres.ses which he has prepared for meetings of the Maine and the Kennebec County Medical Societies. He is a member of both, and an ex-president of the latter, and is also vice-president of the Harvard Alumni Association.
Doctor Giddings married for his first wife, Mary Barton, of Windsor, Me. They had one child, Minnie L. His second wife was Sarah Peckham, of Boston, by whom he had one child, Harold. His present wife was Adelaide Clark, of Boston.
