- Description:
- Samuel A. Bemis was born in Vermont in 1793. A noted dental surgeon, Bemis made a fortune by perfecting false teeth, which prior to his interest in them were used for cosmetic purposes only. Bemis apparently began visiting New Hampshire in the 1820's, and built a summer home at Crawford Notch. An avid photographer, he produced many early daguerreotypes of the Crawford Notch area. He was also interested in horticulture, and won awards for apples grown on his New Hampshire farm, where he was buried.
