Dr. William Lee McKibbin (1836-1916)

It was his experience of the horrors following the Battle of Antietum, where wounded soldiers died on the operating table due to inadequate medical care, that prompted William Lee McKibbin to study medicine. In 1869, he became a physician and surgeon, maintaining his office in Amaranth, Pennsylvania. His work as a doctor, as well as his participation in civil affairs made him a respected citizen in his community.
