G. Edward Buxton, son of Edward and Julia C. (Coburn) Buxton, was born February 18, 
1849, at Worcester, Mass.  He received his preparatory education in the public 
schools of Worcester, and took a special course at the Kentucky University.  In 
January, 1872, he commenced the study of medicine with Dr. Walter Burnham, at 
Lowell, Mass., and entered Harvard University Medical School in September of that 
year, in the three years' course.  At the end of his second year, in June, 1874, he has 
passed his examinations and some of the third year, and the following September 
entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons (Columbia University), New York City, 
being graduated M.D. in the class of March, 1875.  He then took a course at Long 
Island College Hospital, but in the later part of May was appointed resident physician 
and surgeon for one year at St. Francis Hospital, Pittsburgh, Pa.  In June, 1876, he 
returned to Harvard, completed his examinations, and took the degree of M.D.  He 
then went abroad and took a four months' course at Rotunda Lying-in Hospital, 
Dublin, as a resident; spent six months in the London hospitals, taking special 
courses, and was in Paris two months, returning to the United States and commencing 
practice in Kansas City, Mo., in the winter of 1877.  In 1883 he again went abroad, 
completed his course in Dublin and took the degree of Licentiate in Midwifery, and 
spent the remainder of the year on the Continent.  Upon his return to this country he 
settled in Pawtucket to practice, in 1884.  Four years later he removed to National 
City, Cal., but in 1895 returned to Providence, which city is now his home.  He is 
widely known in professional circles, active in all organizations of medical men, and 
has won a distinctive position in his calling. 

He is a member of the American Medical  Association, the San Diego County 
(California) Medical Society, of which he was vice-president and president, the Rhode 
Island Medical Society, and the Providence Medical Association.  He was formerly a 
member of the Missouri Medical Association, the Kansas City District Medical Society, 
the Kansas City Medical Society, and the Jackson County (Missouri) Medical Society.  
While in Kansas City he was adjunct professor  of obstetrics in the Medical 
Department of the  University of Kansas City, and was also a member of the 
Dispensary Staff of the University Hospital.  At one time he was a member of the 
National City (California) Board of Health.  Dr. Buxton has contributed on numerous 
occasions to the medical journals, and has also written articles for the public press on 
matters of public health.  His field of usefulness has been a wide one, and it has been 
his privilege to come into contact with the leaders in his calling in many parts of the 
world.  In Masonry Dr. Buxton is a member of Harmony Lodge, Free and Accepted 
Masons; Pawtucket Chapter, Royal Arch Masons, and San Diego Commandery, 
Knights Templar, of which he is past commander.  He is also a member of Palestine 
Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, of Rhode Island.  He is 
past chancellor commander of the Knights of Pythias, and holds membership in the 
Ancient Order of Foresters, Improved Order of Red Men, and the Sons of St. George. 

Dr. Buxton married, January 10, 1878, Sarah A. Harrington, daughter of Benjamin 
Harrington, of Worcester, Mass., and are the parents of two sons, G. Edward (q.v.), 
and Bertram H., born June 11, 1883, in Worcester.
