ROME, Ga. -- Rome's early medical history will be the focus of a memoir and book signing to be held at the Last Stop Gift Shop on Thursday, February 28.
Dr. Mather Marvin McCord wrote "The Doctor Has Arrived" in 1953, which told of his practices, and life in Floyd County after the Civil War until the early 20th century. McCord was a Georgia native, who worked through various challenges in the medical field, including educating the public while they were resistant to medical advancements.?
He is remembered for teaching sanitation and public health standards. McCord taught at Emory University and Harvard Medical School, was Floyd's first public health commissioner, worked at Harbin Clinic, and was named to "Who's Who in American Medicine" in 1925.?
McCord's grandson, Fred W. Snell, Jr. will sign copies of McCord's book, and tell some of his stories.
The Last Stop Gift Shop is located within the Rome-Floyd Visitor Center. The signing will last from 3:00 - 6:00 that afternoon.?
Call (706) 295-5576 for more information.?
