BiographyLowrey Barney
Two generations of Barneys practiced medicine in the South Jefferson area. The first, Daniel Barney, was born in Swansea, Massachusetts in 1768, moving first to Rutland in 1800, to Adams in 1803 and finally to Henderson in 1807. He was Henderson’s second physician and served as the Jefferson County Medical Society’s first Vice-President. Daniel died in 1828. His son Lowery was born in Coventry, Rhode Island in 1793. He
began the study of medicine with his father when only sixteen. At the time the two made their way to visit patients by following Indian paths and the use of marked trees. He graduated from Fairfield Medical College in 1823, staying on for an additional year of instruction. He later received an additional diploma from the Medical College of Castleton (Vermont). Lowery was elected a New York State Assemblyman in 1836.
His obituary claims he served as president of the Medical Society of the State of New York. In 1850 he was elected the second president of the short-lived American Hygienic and Hydropathic Association of Physicians and Surgeons. Barney, along with most of the officers, missed the organization next meeting and the association appears to have disbanded shortly thereafter. Stonewall Jackson. In July 1851 Lowery was in New York City visiting his daughter (now Mrs. Houghton) and brother Hiram. Hiram was a well-connected lawyer, a later advisor to Lincoln
and is said to have assisted Lincoln in drafting the Emancipation Proclamation. Also visiting the Hiram Barneys was an old friend, Brevet Major Thomas J. Jackson, later to become better known as “Stonewall”.
"I have derived so much benefit from your wholesome and wise instructions that gratitude to you will accompany me to my grave.
Letter to Dr. Barney from Stonewall Jackson, 18 August 1853

According to legend, Jackson was later to repay Lowery’s kindness. At the first battle of Bull Run, Major Andrew “Jack” Barney (Lowery’s son) was fatally wounded while leading his company in the battle. A detachment carrying his body from the field was captured by the Confederates. Stonewall, recognizing the body, ordered that Jack’s sword and belongings be preserved and that the detachment be
escorted back to Union lines.

BiographyAt hydrotherapy's height in the 1850s there were over 200 water-cure establishments in the United States, most located in the northeast. Few of these lasted into the postbellum years, although some survived into the 20th century including institutions in Scott (Cortland County), Elmira, Clifton Springs and Dansville. While none were located in Jefferson County, the Oswego Water Cure operated in the city of Oswego.
In America, one of the leaders of the new movement was Joel Shew, frequently referred to as the American Priessnitz. Shew, a native of Saratoga, had worked in a daguerreotype shop and developed health problems due to the toxic chemicals used in the process. He became interested in medicine, went to medical school and graduated with an M.D. sometime before 1843. Shortly after graduation he became involved with hydropathy and in 1843 he and his wife, Marie Louise Shew, began to take in patients at their home in New York City, thus opening the
country’s first water cure. Until his early death in 1855, the Shews also operated water cure establishments in New Lebanon Springs and Oyster Bay. Both Shews became prolific writers. Joel wrote the Hand-Book of Hydrotherapy and edited the Water Cure Journal, which by the 1850s boasted of a subscription list of 100,000.
New Lebanon Springs Water-Cure: In the spring of 1845 Dr. Shew opened his second water-cure at New Lebanon Springs near Albany. The building cost the new owner more than $3000 and he had to lay two aqueducts to a mountain stream nearly a mile away. In 1847 Shew opened a third water-cure in Oyster Bay on Long Island.
