Description: Reverse reads "Monument to Dr. John Lambert Richmond on Church St., Newtown, Ohio" Plaque reads "In Memory of John Lambert Richmond M.D. who performed the first Caesarian Section in America at Newtown, Ohio April 22, 1827. Erected by the McDowell Medical Society. Cinci., O., 1912" John Lambert Richmond was both a clergyman and physician. He was born on a farm near Chesterfield, Massachusetts on April 5, 1785, the son of Nathaniel and Susannah Lambert Richmond. Shortly after his birth, his family moved to Herkimer, NY where he worked as a laborer on farms and forests. In 1806, he married Lorana Sprague Patchin of Milton, NY. Ten years later he was ordained as Baptist minister. The Richmonds moved to Cincinnati, Ohio in 1817, where John worked again as a laborer during the week, and as a minister on Sundays. One position was a janitor at the Medical College of Ohio, where he persuaded Dr Daniel Drake to accept him as a medical student. He received his medical diploma in 1822 and served as a physician and minister in Newtown, Ohio. On April 22, 1827, Dr Richmond performed the first recorded successful Ceasarian Section in the United States. This was done in a backwoods cabin near Newtown, Ohio. Richmond was among the physicians treating the cholera epidemic in Cincinnati in 1831. He was stricken with the disease and never fully recovered. He died in Covington, Indiana on October 12, 1855 in the home of his children. View on Ohio Memory.
