DR. HARRY W. PURDY, practicing physician in Nogales for almost thirty years, and one of the leading men in the
profession in Southern Arizona, is a native of Florida. He was born in Quincy, February 9, 1860, and is the son
of Elijah and Elizabeth Johnson Purdy. Dr. Purdy was graduated in 1882 from what was then known as the Medical
College of Bellevue Hospital, New York, and after graduation served one year as interne in that famous hospital
and the experiences of that year have been of great value in his life work. He then came to Arizona as chief surgeon
for the Silver King mine in Pinal County, and after about six months was persuaded to remove to Nogales as surgeon
for the Santa Fe, now the S. P. of Sonora. This was in 1884. He is now consulting physician and surgeon for all
railroads in Mexico south of Nogales. For almost twenty years he has been a partner of Dr. Chenowith's, and is
also associated with Dr. Gustetter in the Mira Monte Sanitarium. Dr. Purdy married Miss Josefa Vasquez, a Mexican
woman of distinguished lineage.
