ERNEST A. VICTORS, M. D.
Dr. Victors is one of the younger
representatives of the medical fraternity in Nevada County, and is a prominent
accession to the medical brotherhood in Grass Valley, his ability having gained
him a creditable place in connection with his chosen calling. He was born in Santa Clara County,
California, September 16, 1874, his parents being Alberta and Maria (Roberska) Victors.
The father was of German birth, and came to America in 1866, after which
he wedded Miss Roberska, who was born in South
Carolina and was of German lineage. For
many generations the Victors family has numbered among its members
distinguished physicians and surgeons.
The Doctor, whose name introduces
this review, is the eldest in a family of four children, and to the public
schools of Alameda County, California, he is indebted for his preliminary
education, which was later supplemented by a course in the State University at
Berkeley, where he was graduated with the class of 1895. Determining to make the practice of medicine
his lifework, he then entered to Cooper Medical College, of San Francisco, and was
graduated in 1898. He had considerable
clinical experience in the hospitals of that city, and in the year 1899 he
opened an office in Grass Valley, where he has already won a good
patronage. His knowledge of the science
of medicine is quite extensive and very accurate, and his laudable ambition
combined with a deep human sympathy and strong intellectual force, will no
doubt win him prominence and gain him a leading place in the front ranks of his
professional brethren as the years pass by.
