Comment
This sign was nailed to the office door of Dr. Charles J. Kilbourn's medical office in Dutchess County, New York. Illness prevented his practising. He returned to Litchfield where he was born and lived a few years in the house of his wife's family on North St. which was originally Co. Tallmadge's store. Mrs. Kilbourn (nee Harriet Wadsworth) lived in the house until her death in 1916
