Reuben D. Mussey, Sr. was born on June 23, 1780, in Pelham, New Hampshire, the son of a country doctor, John Mussey, and his wife, Beulah Butler.
Mussey, Sr. obtained his early education in Pelham, and later attended the district school of Amherst, New Hampshire, and Dartmouth College, where he was graduated with the Bachelor of Arts degree in 1803. He began the study of medicine under Nathan Smith and Luke Howe, and devoted a portion of each winter, during the period 1803 - 1805, to teaching school in Peterborough, New Hampshire, in order to secure money to finish his medical education.
The degree of Bachelor of Medicine was conferred upon him by the Medical Department of Dartmouth College in 1805, and that of Doctor of Medicine by the University of Pennsylvania in 1809.
Following his graduation from the University of Pennsylvania, Mussey opened an office in Salem, Massachusetts, and for five years enjoyed a large practice in association with Dr. Daniel Oliver. Besides practising general medicine, he gave courses of lectures on chemistry.
Mussey left Salem in 1814 to teach the theory and practice of medicine, materia medica, and obstetrics at Dartmouth, becoming professor of anatomy and surgery there in 1822. He spent ten months in Paris and London during the year 1830. In 1830, while in London, he discussed with Sir Astley Cooper the possibility of bony union after fracture of the neck of the femur, having taken with him specimens to prove his contention that such union is possible. These specimens are now in the Museum of the Cincinnati General Hospital.
In addition to his work at Dartmouth, he lectured on anatomy and surgery at Bowdoin College, 1831 - 1835, and on surgery at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Fairfield, Herkimer County, New York, 1836 - 1838. In 1838 he resigned his professorship at Dartmouth to become professor of surgery in the Medical College of Ohio. This post he held until 1852, when the Miami Medical College was organized in Cincinnati, and he accepted the chair of surgery in the new institution. He continued in this capacity until 1857, then went to live in Boston, where he died on June 21, 1866.
