Dickinson Burt
Dr. Dickinson Burt was the first physician to locate in Muncietown or Delaware County. I have no information concerning his
individual history or the exact date of location. Dr. Burt was the second postmaster at Muncietown and filled that office
from Aug. 29, 1829, to May 6, 1835. It is supposed that he left soon after the expiration of the term of his office. Nothing
further is known of his history.

Dr. Dickinson Burt was the first physician to locate in Delaware County after its organization in 1827. The exact date of his
location in Muncietown is not known but it was prior to 1829, for the official records show that, in addition to his medical
duties, he was our second postmaster, his commission bearing date Aug. 29, 1829. The postoffice was at his home on the
west side of Mulberry Street, near Gilbert Street.
