After World War II, four of these six brothers, all military veterans, came back to Bloomfield to establish what was known as the finest medical clinic in Southeast Iowa. Top row, L to R...George William.; Harold; David Bottom row, L to R: Earl; Edwin; Homer The following information comes from iagenweb.org ... " The first of the Gilfillan family to practice medicine in America was Dr Alexander Gilfillan, born 1776 and a surgeon in the War of 1812. A medical Gilfillan has served in every U S War since. Five of the six doctor sons of Dr Homer J Gilfillan in this generation saw duty in World War II. Mustered out after the war, four of the sons established their clinic, thereby realizing a dream they had often talked about with their father. Combining their own special branches of training, they added three other doctors: Dr s R Jaskunas, obstetrics and gynecology, Dr Richard Schoonover, urological specialist and Dr W A Haufe, internal medicine."

As promised, here's an easier one this week! Is Davis County getting its own Grand Canyon? (No, but you might be able to raft at the bottom of this if it keeps on raining...) Do you recognize this very interesting spot that is a recent but temporary development in our fair county?
