 Dr. William Ormiston obituary - 1866-1932 - Delaware County, NY
William Ormiston was born in Bovina, Delaware Co., New York 14 March 1866, the son of James Graham Ormiston and Rebecca McFarland Ormiston.
Doctor Ormiston did not stop for rocky roads, hills or storm-swollen streams; snow or ice, mud or dust; but traveling on foot, by wheel, sleigh, or gasoline vehicle-having narrow escapes from imminent death from accidents-he verily gave his life for the benefit of his neighbors and friends-for his patients were all his friends.
Not alone in his professional practice nor in his social contacts did Doctor Ormiston win respect, but he was an outstanding lover of nature-flowers and the trees of the field were a source of joy to him-not superficially but they were a means of diversion as he studied them from the standpoint of a botanist.
