Dr. Miles Goodyear, who received his degree from Yale College in 1816, was a member of the first graduating class, and was the first member of the Cortland county society with the title of M.D. Dr. Goodyear is one of the notable historical characters of Cortland. His eccentricities, his kindly way, his ruffled shirt and his botanical lore, his sterling worth, his learning and his fund of homely common sense, all render his memory green. Dr. Goodyear was born at Hamden, Conn., Nov. 14, 1793. He joined the society in 1818, and remained a most faithful member until his death, March 1, 1870. The occasion of his golden wedding, in 1867, furnished opportunity for old patients in every part of the United States to send him token of their regard.
