Walmsley, James Howard

ca. 1890-1969

Dr. James Howard Walmsley (ca. 1890 - 1969) was born and raised in Athol Township, Prince Edward County, Ontario. He attended Point Petre Public School, Queen's University, Arts 1912, Medicine 1914, and served his medical internship at the Montreal General and the Montreal Maternity Hospital. During the First World War he served overseas with the Canadian Army Medical Corps from July 6, 1916 to July 12, 1919. This service included time spent at No. 7 Hospital (Queen's) between June 1916 and May 1918. After the war he spent about a year and a half studying in New York City and at Cochrane, Ontario before coming home to Picton, where he established the medical practice that only ended with his death in 1969. As well as being a part of the history of the area himself, Dr. Walmsley had an encyclopedic knowledge of local history. The 1985 publication, Prince Edward County Yarns as told by Dr. J. Howard Walmsley, edited by David R. Taylor, preserved some of the Doctor's reminiscences about the area.
