DR. SAMUEL N. CROSS
DR. SAMUEL N. CROSS.--Among
the leading physicians of Stockton must be mentioned the gentleman whose name
heads this sketch. He is a native of Lockport, New York, and son of Lester and
Abigail (Sloan) Cross. He comes of a family of professional people, his father
having been a lawyer and his grandfather and great-grandfather physicians. In
1846 the family of our subject removed to St. Clair, in St. Clair County,
Michigan, and thence to Saginaw. There S. N. Cross grew to manhood and was
educated. He commenced the study of medicine with Dr. L. E. Cross, of Saginaw,
and attended lectures at the Pulte Medical College, graduating there in 1876.
He came to this city to commence the practice of his profession, and has ever
since remained, being associated with his brother in the firm of L. E. & S.
N. Cross. Dr. Cross is a talented and conscientious physician, and enjoys an
unusually high position in professional circles and in the esteem of the
public.
He was married in Michigan, September 1,
1875, to Miss Eva Ackley, a native of Michigan. They have two children, viz:
Earl G. and La Rue. Dr. Cross is a member of Morning Star Lodge, A. F. &
