John H. Olson, M.D., “Dr. Olie,” practiced medicine from his Colrain home at 7 Main Road from 1937 to 1976. His office was on the first floor and some of the bedrooms upstairs functioned as hospital rooms. He was famous for removing tonsils and delivering babies at home…and his Willys Jeep. The historical society plans to make part of its collection his tonsillectomy chair, house-call bag, and medical implements. In this video, Dr. Olie’s daughter, Joan McQuade, talks about her memories of her father. The program was standing-room only, and several of his former patients also tell their tales.
