Research Facts
A 1947 graduate of the Queen's University Medical Program; may have belonged to Dr. Stratton, who held the Napanee practice prior to Dr. Burns.
Beginning in the early 1800s, J. B. Lippincott had great success as a bookseller in Philadelphia. After a fire in 1899, the company rebuilt and found success again, and in 1960 published Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird," which went on to sell over 40 million copies.
