Physician; born in Wilton, Conn., June 19, 1825; graduated at the Albany Medical College in 1848; was a volunteer surgeon in the National army in 1862-65. In the latter year, just prior to his death, he was instrumental in having a bill for the erection of an asylum for the poor insane introduced into the New York State Senate. This was passed and the institution, which is one of the largest of its kind in the United States, was named the Willard Asylum for the Insane. In 1857-65 Dr. Willard was secretary of the New York Medical Society, and editor of its Transactions. His publications include Historical address; Biographical memoirs of Physicians, of Albany county; Annals of the Medical Society of the county of Albany, 1800-51, with biographical sketches, etc. He died in Albany, N. Y., April 2, 1865.
