Benjamin Franklin Bache (February 7, 1801–November 1, 1881) was a surgeon in the United States Navy before and during the Civil War. He was a great-grandson of the Revolutionary War statesman and author, Benjamin Franklin.[1]
Bache graduated from Princeton University in 1819 and from the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania in 1823.[2] He became a surgeon in the Navy in 1828,[2] and established a laboratory which supplied the Navy's medical department. From 1838 to 1841, he was a professor of natural science and natural religion at Kenyon College in Ohio.[3]
During the Civil War, the laboratory was maintained at his expense. It provided supplies to the Union army.[citation needed]
