  • Notes 
    • WEBSTER, EMIL HENRY first appeared in the Preston News of the Dumfries Reformer on October 23, 1890 in a notice which said he had left for New York to take postgraduate work at Bellevue Hospital. This was the year he graduated from Trinity University, Toronto.

      In August 1891 he was visiting parents and friends in Preston, and in June 1894 he was visiting New York.

      He was listed in Preston in 1892, in Alaska in 1903 to 1907, and in Sault Ste Marie, Michigan from 1908. It is questionable whether he ever practised in Preston.
