Bob Anne Senter will present the program. Dr. Crosthwait was bom near Houston, Miss, on May 2, 1873, and in 1911, the doctor journeyed to Waco to serve as a county surgeon. The incident for which the book is titled, is the story of a surgery he had to perform on a iady suffering from a tumor. Since she lived on a cattle ranch that was over 100 miles from the nearest hospital, her doctor contacted Crosthwait for the necessary surgery.

As the story continues, and family had gathered outside around the windows to watch the operation taking place on the kitchen table. Dr. Crosthwait had noticed a ruffian in the crowd twirling a lanat in hts hand, and later heard him comment that "if anything happened to Aunt Beth, Doc done took his last stitch." Needless to say, Aunt Beth lived, and Dr. Crosthwait soon left the ranch on horseback leading another horse with a lariat around its neck which was given to him in lieu of the $100 owed for the surgery. Dr.

Crosthwait continued his practice until he was 80 years old and later died in 1961, leaving a legacy of doctors in Waco to follow in his footsteps. Many other accounts of Dr. life will be included in review. A delightful speaker. Mrs.
