GEORGE BLACKMAN DAVIS, M. D.

  George B. Davis was born October 14, 1881, in Philadelphia, Pa., a son of 
Caleb Sheldon, and Mary Elizabeth (Blackman) Davis.  He attended grammar school 
in Baltimore County, Md., and then for five years (1898-1903) was a public 
accountant.  In 1903 and 1904 he studied under private tutors and in 1904 
entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Baltimore, Md., as a student 
with Dr. Charles F. Bevan, Dean of College, and was graduated M. D., 1908, with 
honorable mention, by this institution.  Following graduation Dr. Davis spent 
two years as Interne in Kensington Hospital, Philadelphia, Pa., under Dr. 
Charles P. Noble, and then in 1910 located at Curtiss Bay, Md., where he 
remained in general practice until 1923.  While here he served for several years 
as local, part time, surgeon for the B. & O. R. R. and in 1923 was visiting 
physician to the U. S. Ordinance Depot at this place.  During the summer of 1918 
Dr. Davis served as Chief Resident Physician at the Seaside Children's Hospital, 
Staten Island, New York City.

  In the summer of 1923 Dr. Davis had a post graduate course in Diseases of 
Circulatory and Respiratory Organs.  Because of failing health Dr. Davis became 
a patient for some months in the Maryland State Sanatorium, Sabillasville, Md., 
and in 1924 moved with his family to Blue Ridge Summit, where he since has been 
in practice.
