LAFAYETT CATE, M. D.—This gentleman is the pioneer physician of the county. He
is a native of New Hampshire, and graduated at the Vermont Medical College. He
came to Plumas in 1854, settled at Elizabethtown, and engaged in the practice of
his profession. He has devoted much of his attention to mining enterprises, as
well as to his profession. He has always enjoyed a full share of practice, and
still resides in Quincy. Upon the resignation of County Treasurer Chapman, in
December, 1878, Dr. Cate was appointed to fill the vacancy, and served in that
office until March, 1880, when he retired from public life, and is quietly
pursuing the practice of his profession in Quincy.
