CHANNING
H. COOK
Channing H. Cook, whose office is at 1826 Howard street,
San Francisco, is a native of California, born in San Francisco, in 1863, the
son of Elisha Cook, who was one of the prominent
attorneys of this city, and who died in 1871, in the very zenith of
success. He was one of the pioneer
settlers of California, arriving here early in
January, 1850. Channing
received his early education in the Urban school, of San Francisco, where he remained
until the age of thirteen years. He then
went to New Hampshire, where, for three
years, he attended St. Paul’s school at Concord. He then returned to California, and at the age of
sixteen years he passed the necessary examinations and entered the State University, which he attended for
one year. Mr. Cook then went to Europe, and after traveling
with his family about two years he returned to San Francisco, but on account of
sickness was not able to resume his studies for a year and a half. In 1884 he entered the Cooper Medical College, where he graduated in
1887, after a three years’ course. He at
once entered upon the practice of his profession in San Francisco, which he has since
continued. For two years Dr. Cook was assistant to the surgical clinic of the Cooper Medical College. He now holds the position of lecturer on
anatomy and physiology at the Trinity School of San Francisco.
