First snow storm of the season. About six inches. Shovel walk. Attended College. Thankful for all things. To Doctor Stearns for treatment. At Armory. Dr. Richmond spoke.

It's not clear what Stanford is being treated for, but maybe that will be elaborated upon later.

After some digging, I was able to track down this Doctor Stearns. He was Maus Wellington Stearns, born 30 Jan 1871 in Randolph, VT to Joseph Wellington Stearns, a minister, and Mary Jane Hull of Schenectady. Dr. Stearns wan an osteopath who practiced in Schenectady all his life.

His son, Maus Jr., also became a physician, specializing in colorectal surgery and oncology. He died in Pacific Grove, CA, in 2009 after a long and success filled life. Here's his obituary if you're interested: Maus Stearns Jr.

Here's a picture of the father, Maus Sr., Stanford's doctor:
