San Francisco County
DR.
CALVIN MOORE
Dr. Calvin Moore,
deceased, whose office was for many years in St. Ann’s building, San Francisco,
was a resident of California since 1871, and was engaged in the practice of
dentistry from early manhood, first in the State of Maine, and later in this
State. He was born in York county, Maine, in 1824, and his early education was received
in the public schools of that State. He
commenced the study of dentistry in Boston, Massachusetts, at about the age of
twenty years, when dentistry in America was in an infant state of
development. The Doctor was present at
the second operation in which ether was administered in dental practice. After completing the study of his profession,
he located in his native State in Belfast until 1871, when he came to
California. Dr. Moore has been
recognized for the past eighteen years as one of the leading dentists of the
Pacific coast. He died March 5, 1890,
and has been succeeded in his office and practice by his step-son, Dr. C. W.
Locke, who was his assistant for twelve years.
Dr. Locke was
born in Belfast, Maine, in 1854, and received his early education in the public
schools of that city, and later attended Heald’s
Business College in San Francisco, where he graduated in1874. In 1876 he commenced the study of dentistry,
under the preceptorship of Dr. Moore, with whom he
remained until 1882, since which time he has been engaged in his present
profession.
