has been a resident of California since 1864, and has
practiced medicine on the Pacific Coast
for the past nineteen years. He was born at Ann Arbor,
Michigan, April 11, 1848, of which State

Public Schools of Ann Arbor. In 1864 his parents came to California,
and he entered the Brayton Academy of Oakland, in 1864, and remained there

of medicine at the Tolland Medical College, now the medical department of the

California, where he continued until 1874, and then
removed to San Francisco. He
practiced there two years, but being attacked with asthma he was obliged to
return to Nevada City,
and again entered into practice, continuing until 1888. In that year he
returned to San Francisco, and has
remained in the active practice of his Profession at his present location. The
Doctor is a member of the State Medical Society of California, and has been for
ten years past Major and Surgeon of the First Regiment of Artillery, N.G.C.
