Jessie C. Farmer, M. D.
Jessie C. Farmer, M. D., whose office is at No. 921 Larkin street, San Francisco, has been a resident of California since 1878, and has been engaged in the practice of medicine since 1888. She was born in Melbourne, Australia, in 1866, and is of English descent, her father, T. S. Farmer, having emigrated to America with his parents at an early age. He was one of the early settlers of California, and engaged largely in mining operations, being a civil engineer by trade. In one of his engagements he spent two years in Australia, where Dr. Farmer was born.
Our subject received her education in the public schools of California, and in 1880 entered the classical course of the University of Washington, where she attended three courses. In 1885 she commenced the study of medicine, entering the California Medical College, and graduating at that institution in 1888, after a full three years’ course, and receiving her degree as Doctor of Medicine. She at once entered into the practice of her profession in San Francisco, where she has already built up a satisfactory clientage. Dr. Farmer is a member of the State Eclectic Medical Society.
