DR. GEORGE F. PACHE
Occupying a position of esteem and
prominence in his native state, George Florian Pache, the subject of the present review, a physician of
the highest standing, is located in Angel’s Camp, Calaveras County, California,
engaged in the practice of his profession.
He was born in Stockton, California, June 30, 1865, the eldest son of a
family of four boys and two girls, all of whom are still surviving. Joles P. Pache, his father, was born in Paris, France, in 1831,
being a lineal descendant of J. Pache, who was the
minister of war in 1792, mayor of Paris in 1793, and an author of a work on
metaphysics. After receiving a
collegiate education in Paris, Mr. Pache came to California
in 1852, and located in Stanislaus County.
In 1858 he went to Stockton, San Joaquin County, where two years later
he was united in marriage with Mary Elizabeth Chicard,
of the old Chicard family, possessors of large landed
estates of Bordeaux, France. After a
long and useful career Mr. Pache passed away in 1894
at the age of sixty-two years.
Dr. Pache
was educated in Stockton, receiving his medical education in Cooper Medical
College, in San Francisco, at which he graduated in 1889, coming to Angel’s
Camp in 1890. His success was immediate,
as he possesses those qualities which command the confidence and respect of the
community, combining the kind manner of the physician with the skilled touch of
the surgeon. He has served the county as
coroner and public administrator for two terms of office. He is a member of the Native Sons of the
Golden West, the Foresters, the Chosen Friends, and the Druids, being examining
physician for all of these fraternal organizations. Besides owning considerable valuable property
in the neighborhood, he is also a stockholder in the Lightner
and Oriole mines, being a director in the former. A large modern residence, combining comfort
and luxury and well equipped offices, has recently been completed. Dr. Pache has hosts
of grateful patients and scores of friends, and is a man most highly esteemed
in his part of the state of California.
