Doctors

• The first resident doctor to settle in the village was Dr. Alfred Joudion, a native of France; an 1880 map of the village shows that he owned a 37-acre parcel of land on the Mont Carmel Road, being the south side of Barlow’s Pond between the corner and Clarke’s Bridge; he died in 1906;
• André Gallant of Saint-Chrysostôme was the village’s second resident doctor, serving in that capacity from 1893 to 1902, and again from 1912 to 1914;
• The third doctor to serve Wellington residents was Dr. Mark Delaney, a native of Havre-aux-Maisons, Îles-de-la-Madeleine; he and his family lived in the village from 1906 to 1940, but spent several years in New Brunswick prior to 1921;

• Raymond Reid was born in Havre-Aubert, Îles-de-la-Madeleine, and studied medicine at Université de Montréal; he arrived in Wellington by train in the middle of a snowstorm in January 1935; and
• In 1937, Dr. Reid married Bernice Gaudet, a registered nurse he’d met on a confinement case; sixteen months later, he developed severe paralysis; though somewhat handicapped by the effects of the disease, he served as the only doctor in much of Central Prince County for many years and continued to see patients in his office until shortly before his death in 1981.
