CHARLES F. A. WALSH, M.D., a practising physician of Hadley, was born in Boston, January 5, 1863, son of Richard W. and Helen Walsh. Richard W. Walsh, who is a native of Ireland, has always followed literature and journalism as a profession, and is at the present time connected with the New York Recorder. His wife, who died when Dr. Walsh was very young, was the mother of six children, of whom John W. and the subject of this sketch are the only survivors.

Charles F. A. Walsh accompanied his parents to New York at the age of nine years, and received his education in the schools of that city and Brooklyn, and at Manhattan College. He began life by entering the newspaper business, later engaging in mercantile pursuits, in which he continued for some time, and then commenced the study of medicine. After graduating from the Long Island Medical College he located in Brooklyn, where he had a good practice until March, 1895, at which time he removed to Hadley. He has since established himself among the physicians of the town, and has succeeded in securing a large and lucrative practice.

In 1894 Dr. Walsh was united in marriage to Louisa Case, of New York City, and has one son, named Harold Towsley. Dr. and Mrs. Walsh are members of the Congregational church.
