of Lakeport, was born near St. Catherines, Canada, in the year 1865, and in 1870 
his parents removed to Michigan, and in 1875 to California.  He lived in Quincy, 
Plumas County, two years, and then moved to Lakeport, Lake County.  In 1880 he 
entered Adelbert College, of the Western Reserve University, at Cleveland, Ohio, 
where he pursued his studies until 1884; then he entered Homeopathic College of 
that city, and graduated there with honor.  After serving a year as assistant 
house-surgeon at the Huron Street Hospital of Cleveland, he commenced the 
practice of his chosen profession in Lakeport, in the spring of 1889, and has 
been so uniformly successful that his practice is not exceeded by any physician 
in the city, and extends to nearly every part of the county.  He is the only 
homeopathic physician in Lakeport.
