2023-04-07 - From the NYC AGO NYC Organ Project, Steven E. Lawson: George Emerson Brewer, AM, MD, LLD, was born in Westfield, N.Y., on July 28, 1861, the son of Francis B. Brewer, a well-known physician, and the former Susan H. Rood. Mr. Brewer graduated from Hamilton College in 1881, and studied medicine at the University of Buffalo before transferring to the College of Medicine at Harvard University, where he graduated in 1885. Two years later, in 1887, he came to New York City where he practiced, except during World War I, until his retirement in 1927. In 1887, he also began teaching at the College of Physicians, Columbia University, where he remained for 30 years. Dr. Brewer was a consulting surgeon for many hospitals in New York and New Jersey and was a recognized authority on cancer. He was one of the founders of the Society of Clinical Surgery and its first president, and was also the president of the American Surgical Association. At some point, the Brewers moved to 16 East 64th Street, a 20-foot-wide townhouse built in 1878-79. Mrs. Brewer died in Bermuda in 1925, and Dr. Brewer died on December 24, 1939. -Jeff Scofield
