Some Knipp Family Ephemera

One of our members, Dr. Harry Knipp, sent pictures of some ephemera he’d recently come across. You can read about the many generations of physicians in his family here.

From Dr. Knipp:  “I found his certificate from MedChi noting my great-grandfather was a delegate to the AMA in 1900.“

My great grandfather’s original membership certificate for MedChi, which if I decode the Roman numerals correctly was dated April 27, 1898 a full 10 years after he finished med school. It’s all in Latin of course. The best I can make out the president’s handwriting looks like Charles M. Ellis and the “scribe” J Williams Lord.
