April 9 Monday TODAY & YESTERDAY By Ezra J. Poulson Dr. Edward I. Rich of Ogden, still hale and hearty at 88, was probably the first young man in Bear Lake to study medicine. After spending a couple of years at the University of Utah, and teaching school one winter at Bloomington and another at Paris, he decided he needed a more profitable profession; consequently, in the fall of 1890, he went East and entered Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia. At the time, his older brother, Ezra, was on a mission in Great Britain. A year later, Ezra on his way home, visited Edward and decided he too would like to be a doctor. He returned home, made the necessary financial arrangements, and within a few weeks was registered as a freshman medic at the University of Louisville, Kentucky. The next year, he joined Edward at Philadelphia. Graduating in 1893 and 1894 respectively, the Rich brothers settled in Ogden, forming a partnership which lasted 11 years. Though they practiced independently after that, they continued their close personal and professional association until Ezra’s death over a half century later. Through those years, they became one of the most successful and famous medical teams in western history. Their lives have been an inspiration to thousands of other young men, many of whom have followed them into the medical profession. Our best wishes to Dr. Edward, who celebrated his birthday April 9. Of all former Paris residents, none have been more loyal to the old home town than he. During his busiest years, a summer never passed without bring him and his charming wife, Almira Cozzens Rich, and members of their family, back to Bear Lake for a few days to visit old friends and relive the scenes of their youth.
