LINSLY, Jared, physician, born in Northford, Connecticut, 30 October, 1803; died there, 12 July, 1887. He was graduated at Yale in 1826, and subsequently at the College of physicians and surgeons of New York city in 1829. Since that time until his last illness he was actively engaged in the practice of his profession. He was a trustee of the College of physicians and surgeons, and of the Ophthalmic and aural institute; and consulting physician to the Asylum for lying in women, and to the New York dispensary and the Presbyterian hospital. He was a member of the New York society for the relief of the widows and orphans of medical men, and one of its managers and benefactors. He was also a member of medical societies, and took an active interest in Yale, founding the Noah and Jared Linsly fund for supplying books to the college library, in memory of his uncle Noah, a graduate of Yale in 1791, who made one of the earliest similar endowments to that institution, and founded the first free school in a slave state.
