Dr. Edward Brooks Everett (1830-1861)
Edward B. Everett, M.D., Physician, of 105 Beacon Street, Boston, Massachusetts
He was born at his grandfather's house in Medford, Massachusetts. He went with his parents to the Court of St. James and was educated in Paris, Florence and London (King's College) before graduating from Harvard (1850), the Tremont Medical School, and Cambridge University in England. Ill health prevented him from pursuing a career as a veterinary surgeon and he became a Physician. His bookplate differed from that of his father's in that his father's was the Everett coat-of-arms, crest and motto ("Patria Veritas Fides") whereas his was the same but the Everett arms were quartered with, "a dexter hand couped, thumb and forefinger extended". In 1855, he married Helen, daughter of Benjamin Adams, Merchant, of 30 Pemberton Square, Boston, and they were the parents of a son and a daughter (listed). His son's secret marriage to a janitor's daughter culminated in a scandalous trial in 1895 that saw him disgraced.
