DR. G. STEWART KIRBY spent the days of his boyhood and youth in his parents’ home in the city of Philadelphia, and was educated in its public schools and in the high school of that place. Wishing to follow the medical profession, he began studying under the direction of his father, and when he had completed a course of reading he entered the Hahnemann Homeopathic College of Philadelphia, from which institution he was graduated in 1882.

Having now been granted the degree of M. D., Dr. Kirby went to Pleasantyille, N. J., where he opened an office and began practice. He there remained seven years, doing a good business and obtaining the practical experience which is necessary to success in any line. The year 1889 witnessed his removal to Mauch Chunk, where he has since conducted a general practice. He is now well established in his profession, and the public attests its confidence in his skill and ability by giving him a liberal patronage. He is now serving as surgeon of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, a position which he has held for the past four years. The lady who now bears the name of Mrs. Kirby was in her maidenhood Emma D. Kuhn, daughter of Isaac S. Kuhn, a resident of Bloomsburg, Pa. The marriage of the Doctor and his wife was celebrated in 1890, and the young couple are now prominent and well known people of this community, having many friends and holding a high position in social circles. The Doctor is a member of the Lehigh Valley Homeopathic Medical Society, is a close student, a man of deep research, and is rapidly making his way to the front ranks of the medical profession.
