Dr. George Douglas Jeffs (front row right) is the maternal great grandfather of our two sons. He was born in Havelock Township, Peterborough County, Ontario, Canada in November 1893. He died in Lake Worth, Florida in February 1980. He and Eulalie Lillian Mary Jeffs were married in York, Ontario, Canada on October 4, 1919.
Dr. Jeffs was a "graduate of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Toronto, from which he received the degree of Bachelor of Medicine on May 2, 1917."
As the photograph above indicates, Dr. Jeffs was an active member of the Medical Alumni Association of the University of Toronto. The photograph was taken at a meeting of the Association on June 9, 1967. The exact location is unknown, but it is presumably in front of a building on the University campus in Toronto. The Association members pictured in the photograph are as follows moving left to right by row starting with the front row standing on the sidewalk.
