Century Memorial

John Henry Huddleston was an excellent physician, an authority on tuberculosis, and a man of great usefulness. He had graduated at Harvard at the head of his class, and was his class secretary. He was visiting physician in a number of hospitals, and from 1901 to 1912 recording secretary of the Academy of Medicine, of which he was also a trustee. He had been assistant surgeon in the Seventh Regiment, where he was the counselor and friend of many of its members. Dr. Huddleston was a beneficent character. The goodness of the man showed in his face and in every act. His friends, his classmates, his fellow-members in the Seventh Regiment and in his profession, all realized the beauty of his character, and that wherever he moved and spoke or acted, his spirit made for harmony and peace.
