The doctor is in: Meet Israel Goldwin Smith, Kitchissippi’s first doctor

My Early Days column in September's Kitchissippi Times was a long-overdue profile on Dr. Israel Goldwin Smith, who was the first Doctor to open a practice within Kitchissippi's borders. He was a mainstay in Hintonburg from 1896 until his passing in 1936. As you can imagine, life as the doctor in a growing turn-of-the-century village had its interesting highlights. I was pleased to have the opportunity to meet Dr. Smith's granddaughter, who shared some great stories and photographs.
