Century Memorial

Dr. George A. Peters, who was so well known to most of us, stood in the highest rank of surgeons in this city, where he practised for nearly forty-five years. He received all the honors of his profession, and was connected, as consulting surgeon, with many of the leading hospitals in the city, and a member of nearly all the medical societies. As would naturally follow from his recognized ability, he led a life of unceasing activity in professional work; but he found time in the intervals to gratify his strong social instincts, for he was a choice companion, a man of rare wit, and the centre of a large circle of admiring personal friends.
