Little is known about the
physician O.W. True. Dr. True succeeded Dr. Henry Warren (H. W.) Hamilton as a
practicing homeopathic physician in Farmington, Franklin County, Maine. Dr.
Hamilton, who is credited with bringing homeopathy to Farmington in 1861, later
moved to Vermont, leaving his practice to Dr. True. See "History of Homeopathy
in Maine. An Address before the Homeopathic Medical Society of Maine by William
E. Payne, M.D., of Bath, Me 1867," North American Journal of
Homeopathy 16 (November 1867), 210–226. See also "Dr. Henry
Warren Hamilton," New England Families: Genealogical and
