partnership with Dr. Lawrence E. Van Buskirk, a successful practitioner of
dentistry in that city. After two years Dr. Van Buskirk retired, from ill

repaired to Philadelphia, and was in attendance at the Dental College in that
city until he received the degree of D. D. S. He then returned to Halifax,
N. S., and had for many years a large and lucrative practice. Dr. Cogswell
wrote some valuable papers on subjects connected with dentistry, which were
published. Dr. Cogswell's residence was across the harbor in the town of
Dartmouth. He was Councillor of the municipality where he resided, an
Elder in the St. Matthew's Presbyterian Church, and the President of the
Society for the Relief of the Poor.
