• Notes

  HAY, HENRY ROBERT was born in Listowel, a son of Thomas E, Hay. He graduated from the Medical Faculty of Victoria University in 1887. Before coming to this county he had practised elsewhere, possibly in Hanover. His introduction to Elmira is mentioned in the Waterloo County Chronicle of November 22, 1894. He had purchased the practice of Dr. L. F. Cline, and referring to the newcomer the item says: "Dr. Hay comes well recommended and will doubtless secure a liberal patronage." He presumably lived up to their expectations, and practised in Elmira until May, 1901, during this time he was a member of the first board of Trade of Elmira. The Wellesley Maple Leaf of April 18, 1901, in announcing that he was leaving said that he had sold his practice and intended taking postgraduate work. During the Great War he served overseas in the Imperial and Canadian forces. On his return to Canada he practised in Wiarton, where he was Medical Officer of Health. He retired in 1938, and died on August 21, 1939 in his 74th. year. Dr. Alexander D. Campbell, Doctors in Waterloo County 1852-1925 _________ ARE LEAVING FOR FLORIDA Dr. Hay Leaving Wiarton to Spend Two Months in South WIARTON, Feb. 25. The friends of Dr. Hay are pleased to learn that he has recovered suficiently from his recent illness that he is able to be around the town as usual. He has retired from the medical profession in town, having sold his practice to Dr. Forge of Lion's Head last fall. Dr. and Mrs. Hay are leaving Wiarton on Monday next for Kitchener where they will spend a few days with their son, Harold, after which they will leave for Lemon City, Florida, where they will spend a couple of months.
