DR. GEORGE LLEWELYN COLE
COLE, DR. GEORGE LLEWELYN, Physician and Surgeon, Los Angeles, California, was born at Eaton, New York, November 14, 1861, the son of Sidney A. Cole and Lydia A. (Choate) Cole. In 1888 he married Miss Harriet E. Shoecraft of Oneida, N.Y. The original of the family in America was James Cole, who came from England and settled at Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1633. Later members of the family won distinction and rendered valiant service on behalf of their country in the Revolutionary War.
After his training in the public schools, Dr. Cole entered White’s Academy in Oneida, N.Y., after which he took the Medical preparatory course at Cornell University and then entered Bellevue Hospital Medical College, New York, from which he graduated in 1886. The following year he settled in Los Angeles where he has attained an eminent position and is regarded as one of the leading physicians of the West.
He has been prominently identified with the growth of the medical profession in Southern California and has been signally honored by his fellows, having been Health Commissioner for the city, President of the Los Angeles Medical Association, the Los Angeles Clinical and Pathological Society, the Southern California Medical Society and for the long period of twenty years, a member of the faculty of the Medical Department of the University of California.
On three occasions he has left his practice and visited Vienna, Berlin, Edinburgh and London for post-graduate work.
Dr. Cole has devoted his life to his profession, and is a man of scholarly attainments. He enjoys the highest standing in the community, both as a citizen and in a professional way, and is a member of the best clubs.
