Blocker’s wife, Dr. Virginia Blocker, was also a physician and, after the 1947 Texas City Disaster, they co-published a survey of the casualties. Blocker would eventually publish or co-publish 182 items, mostly on treatment and care of burn victims.
In addition to his research and teaching responsibilities, Blocker served in a diverse and complex variety of administrative positions, enabling him to influence the growth and expansion of UTMB. He was instrumental in convincing the Shriners to choose Galveston as the location for their burn hospital, and he retained an interest in military medicine for the rest of his life.

He graduated from Simms Medical College in St. Louis in 1902 and moved to Dean Lake, Missouri, in 1903 but returned to Bosworth later that year and spent the rest of his life there. He retired due to failing health and sold his practice in 1948. Dr. Brown and his wife Clemma were killed when their car struck a bridge in Carrollton, Missouri, in February 1959 and are buried in Elizabeth Cemetery, south of Hale, Missouri. Most of the family seems to have stayed in Missouri but their son Dr. Wilson Gordon Brown (18 January 1914- 23 December 1990, buried at Elizabeth Cemetery) lived in Houston, which is probably why the Library has the bag. Dr. Brown’s brother William Gordon Brown (1865-1931) was also a doctor in Carroll County.
There are a lot of small items about Dr. Brown, and sometimes his brother, in social columns in old northern Missouri newspapers. One of them teases Dr. Brown about being a “regular practitioner” in reference to his formal training, as opposed to a “domestic practitioner”, who might have been apprenticed and/or self-taught. Because of the lax standards for entering medical school until well into the twentieth century, and patients’ tendency to trust known locals, “regular doctors” and formal training apparently had a hard time gaining acceptance in the public mind. Marion-Simms Medical College, later Marion-Simms-Beaumont College, was a (homeopathic? I’ve seen hints but cannot verify) medical school run by a group of physicians that operated from at least 1883 to the early 1900s. It was purchased by the Jesuit Brothers in 1903 and paired with St. John’s Hospital, and eventually merged with the much older medical department of Saint Louis University.

William Roy Knowles was born in Gilmer, Texas, on December 13, 1929 and died in Houston on September 3, 2005. He is buried at Memorial Oaks Cemetery. He trained as a dermatologist at Baylor College of Medicine starting in 1965. The announcement of the establishment of his office in Houston in 1968 notes that he was one of two dermatologists in Texas at the time capable of performing “chemosurgery” to remove skin cancers. He seems to have had an ongoing interest in Civil War medicine; local papers note that he sometimes gave talks on the subject. His brother Royce was also in medical practice in Palestine.
