One of three State Parks in Norfolk, CT. This park has great views, and the shell of a historic summer home of the surgeon who donated the property to the State of CT in 1935. Background Frederic Shepard Dennis was born on April 17, 1850, in Newark, New Jersey. He was the sixth child and fourth son of Alfred Lewis Dennis and his first wife, Eliza (Shepard) Dennis, and a descendant of Joseph Dennis of Sussex County, New Jersey, who died in 1770. James Shepard Dennis was his brother; Alfred Lewis Pinneo Dennis, his nephew. His father was president of the New Jersey Railroad & Transportation Company with a good social and financial position in New York. Education Frederic attended Winchester Institute in Winchester Center, Connecticut, where he was a classmate of William H. Welch of Norfolk, whose professional career was marked by many contacts with that of his own. Later he studied at Phillips Academy at Andover, Massachussets, and then entered Yale University where he obtained the degree of A. B. in 1872. He was graduated in medicine from Bellevue Hospital Medical School in 1874. Career In 1876 Dennis and his friend Welch, himself a graduate in medicine, went to Europe where they were somewhat associated in their studies in the universities of France and Germany. Dennis later went to Edinburgh where Lister was obtaining much sceptical attention for his antiseptic methods in operative surgery. Upon his return to New York he introduced the Listerian technique in a country which had scarcely heard of it. He thus became the leader of the new order in surgery in the United States. Dennis joined the surgical staff of St. Vincent's Hospital in 1882, a position he held until his death. He was appointed professor of surgery at Bellevue Hospital Medical School in 1883, from which post he transferred to the chair of clinical surgery at Cornell University Medical School in 1898. In 1910 he was made professor emeritus. Other hospital appointments filled by Dennis were with Bellevue and the Montefiore Home in New York, St. Joseph's Hospital in Yonkers, and the Litchfield County Hospital at Winsted, Connecticut. He founded the Harlem Hospital in New York.
