Henry Curtis Beardslee Sr.

Henry Curtis Beardslee Sr. (July 2, 1807 – December 21, 1884) was an American physician, botanist, and state legislator.

He shortly after opened an office in Montville, Conn., and soon had an extensive but laborious country practice.

In May, 1845, he removed to Painesville, Ohio, where he devoted himself for the rest of his life to his profession, becoming especially skillful and successful in the more difficult surgical operations.

Outside of his profession he was especially interested in botany, and has left an unpublished catalogue of the plants of Ohio, compiled for the use of the Geological survey.
