Dr. Hanchett, practicioner 30 years, dies
Was taken ill after return from a trip to Europe
Long served public
Had vaccinated 30,000 children under administrations of three mayors

Dr. Juliet E. Hanchett, pioneer among women physicians in Syracuse and member of one of the oldest families of Central New York, died late Tuesday afternoon at her apartments in the Kasson, 622 James street. She was 64 years old.
A year ago Dr. Hanchett went to Europe with Mrs. Enrico Burckgardt. On the return trip last February, she was taken ill and bronchial trouble complicated with heart disease resulted in her death.
Dr. Hanchett was born in Syracuse, the daughter of Dr. John C. Hanchett and granddaughter of Dr. John Wilkes Hanchett, who was one of the first physicians licensed in Onondaga county. The family traced its geneology (sic) to Deacon Thomas Hanchett, who came from Plymouth, England to Massachusetts in 1630.
Among Dr. Hanchett's ancestors were Captain Oliver Hanchett, a soldier of the revolution and Lieut. John Hanchett of early Indian war fame.
Dr. Juliet Hanchett got her earlier education in the Keble school, became a trained nurse and finally was graduated from the Woman's Medical College, Philadelphia in 1887. She received her hospital training at Bellevue hospital, New York, and did intern work t Boston and Chicago.
She practiced medicine in Syracuse 30 years. Her original offices were in the Crouse block. In 1903 she was appointed public vaccinator, serving until 1`914, through the administrations of Mayors Kline, Fobes, Schoeneck and Siene. During this time she vaccinated more than 30,000 children.
Dr. Hanchett also founded the first training school for nurses at the Hospital of the Good Shepherd.
Dr. Hanchett as attached to the staff of the Hospital of the Good Shepherd and was an active co-worker with the late Miss Arria. S. Huntington in connection with the Shelter for Unprotected Girls.

Dr. Juliet E. Hanchett, whose death in her sixty-fifth year is now recorded, enjoyed for many years a double distinction in our city as a practicing physician and a leader in praiseworthy civil undertakings. She entered the ranks of the medical profession nearly forty years ago, at a time when women doctors were still a novelty, and by her career she showed how feminine sympathy can supplement scientific proficiency in good purpose in the treatment of human maladies. There were special duties which her sex and her professional skill peculiarly qualified her to perform well, and in these she was always loyal and diligent. In her modest, useful way she achieved an excellent record in this community, and her death will bring sincere regret to the many who knew and prized her good qualities.
