• Notes

  George More, M, D. This gentleman is one of the promising young physicians of Waterloo county. He has had a thorough schooling, and in addition to the affix, M.D., at the end of his name, he is entitled to sign the degrees of B.A, M.B. and M.C.P.S.O. His birth place is in the county of Perth, near St. Marys, where he was born in 1870. He acquired his preliminary instructions to fit him for a life of usefulness in the High School of St. Marys, and from there he entered the Toronto University where he honorably won the title of B.A. It was his intention at first to educate himself for a High School professor, but he subsequently espoused the study of medicine, and with a view to preparing himself for that calling he spent three years in the Toronto Medical School from which he emerged with honors and a diploma. In 1896 he succeeded Dr. A. F. Woodward, then a well known and successful physician of Hawksville. The change has not been a disappointment, for the young doctor has had fine success as a practitioner, enjoys a lucrative practice and has won the respect and confidence of all within his territory. On meeting Dr. More one is easily convinced of the truthfulness of the latter assertion, as he is a gentleman of high educational attainments and kind, pleasing address. He lives with his parents in a beautiful home in which he takes unusual pride, and endeavors to beautify whenever he is permitted an opportunity to do so. He and Peter Griemel of St. Clements, are joint owners in a telephone line which connects with the Bell Telephone line at that place. The phone is at Dr. More's residence, where communication can be had with the outside world. His field of practice extends to Heidelberg and St. Clements, which places he professionally visits on Thursdays and Saturdays of each week. The doctor still enjoys single blessedness. His father is a native of the north of Scotland, where he was born in 1848. He came to this country about. thirty-four years ago, and is to day one of the most respected and highly esteemed citizens of the village. The family espouse the Presbyterian religion.
