  • Notes 
    • PATERSON, PETER WILFRED was born in Parkhill, and graduated from the University of Western Ontario in 1921. He interned at the Great Ormond Street Children's hospital, in London, England.

      The Ontario Medical Register lists him in Kitchener, in 1922. At some undetermined date he left for Grand Rapids, Mich., and as he practised there for 31 years, presumably he left here in 1926.

      He died on April 8, 1957 at 59 years of age, leaving his widow, a daughter and two sons.
