George W. Kittredge
George Washington Kittredge (January 31, 1805 – March 6, 1881)[a] was a U.S. Representative from New Hampshire. Born in Epping, New Hampshire, Kittredge received a liberal schooling. He attended the medical department of Harvard University and engaged in the practice of medicine in Newmarket, New Hampshire, in 1835. Kittredge served as member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives in 1835, 1847, 1848, and 1852, and served as Speaker in the last-named year. He was a director of the Boston and Maine Railroad, 1836–1856. He served as president of the Newmarket Savings Bank for 40 years. Kittredge was elected as an Anti-Nebraska Democrat to the 33rd United States Congress (March 1853 – March 1855). He served as chairman of the Committee on Expenditures in the Department of War. He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1854 to the 34th United States Congress and for election in 1856 to the 35th United States Congress. Following his time in Washington, Kittredge resumed the practice of medicine. In late January 1878, The Boston Post reported he had suffered an attack of apoplexy, and "his recovery is doubtful."[1] Kittredge died in Newmarket, New Hampshire, on March 6, 1881.[a] He was interred in Forest Hills Cemetery in Boston.
