Biographical NoteReturn to Top

George Horace Coshow was a 1930 graduate of the University of Oregon Medical School. After graduation, Coshow relocated to California and apparently spent the remainder of his career in Carpinteria. He practiced at the Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital and was in part responsible for the establishment of its Reeves Library. A letter sent from Coshow to Bertha Hallam and Margaret Hughes in 1974 shares his joy at the opening of the G. Horace Coshow, M.D. Room. The Carpinteria Valley Museum of History also has a room named after Coshow. He died in 1989.

1 2 History
It is signed by Coshow who dated this notebook as 1927-28, and that he was a member of medical fraternity Alpha Kappa Kappa. However, this notebook is odd in that the date in the begining of the book is Oct. 5, 1927, and goes into February 1928; but at the end is dated Oct. 27, 1926. It is also handwritten and hand drawn, double-sided. It also includes notes from Dr. Allen on Neurology and Dr. Bellinger on Tuberculosis.
