Notes:

From The Bedford Animal Hospital — Jonathan S. Lewis Jr. founded the Bedford Animal Hospital in 1944. Dr. Lewis, a New Hampshire native, graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine in 1943. He returned to New Hampshire and practiced briefly in Peterborough before establishing his veterinary practice in Bedford. The original hospital was a small frame building on Bedford Center Road near the present day Water Center.
 Bedford was a rural community with mainly dirt roads in the 1940’s, with many dairy farms that made up the bulk of Dr. Lewis’s practice. The telephone operator lived not far from the animal hospital. If a phone call for Dr. Lewis went unanswered (34 was the clinic’s number), she would look for his car in the driveway. If he were away on a farm call, she would take a message and give it to him when he returned.
 In 1953, Dr. Lewis was called to duty in the Air Force. He returned in January 1955 and purchased the property on Old Bedford Road where he built the present hospital. During his absence, many of the dairy farms had ceased operation, and the focus of veterinary medicine was changing from farm animals to companion animals. The present hospital was built primarily for treatment of small animals.
 By 1972, much of the farmland in Bedford was undergoing residential development. Dr. Lewis hired Carl T. DePrima DVM as an associate veterinarian in June 1972 to help care for the influx of new pets in the community. The practice grew, as did the need for additional veterinarians. In 1983, Dr. Lewis hired William L. Sofield DVM, PhD. to join the staff. Dr. DePrima and Dr. Sofield, still the current owners, bought the Bedford Animal Hospital from Dr. Lewis in December 1983 when Dr. Lewis retired.
 The house adjacent to the hospital was built in the late 1700’s. It was originally known in Bedford as the Old Cabinet House because the owner David Atwood was a cabinetmaker. He also made the best ox yokes in the area, an important skill as most farm work was done with teams of oxen. The house was rebuilt in 1958 after a fire destroyed most of it.

Jonathan married Janet Porter CARLETON on 24 Dec 1951 in Manchester, Hillsborough, New Hampshire. Janet (daughter of John Porter CARLETON and Alicia Prescott SKINNER) was born on 20 Jan 1933 in Manchester, Hillsborough, New Hampshire. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
