Doctors of Derby

Derby, or El Paso as it started out, was quite lucky that the community had a doctor quite early in its history. In fact, Derby had a town doctor contiuously, except for a brief period in the 1930s and 1940s. Different stories have come about while researching; from a doctor swimming across the river to provide medicial assistance to the town having a one-armed doctor.

This exhibit will highlight some of the different doctors who established their medicial practices in town.
