Obituary | Obit., Times-Picayune, 18 Nov. 1884, "Death of Dr. Samuel H. Bemiss." This is long, an article. The obituary describes him as being born in Nelson Co., Kentucky, of "sturdy Massachusetts Presbyterian stock." He was a big deal in New Orleans because he was a key investigator of the 1879 yellow fever epidemic, and is quoted in reports about the disease after this. He was appointed to the National Boards of Health in 1880, when it was formed. | |
