George Baudry, M. D., of Atchison, supreme physician for the Modern Brotherhood of America, was born at Eden, Fond du Lac county, Wisconsin, March 29, 1865, of French parentage, his people having come to America in 1848 and located in Wisconsin at one of the French settlements. His father died while he was an infant and his mother when he was six years of age. Following the death of his mother, together with his brother and three sisters, he lived with his maternal grandmother, who also resided at Eden, Wis. After securing what education he could, the boy began to clerk in a store and later became a commercial traveler, but he had early determined to study medicine and resigned his position to enter the Hahnemann Medical College, of Chicago, Ill., where he graduated in March, 1892. During this medical course he became interested in anti-vivisection. He traveled extensively, visiting twenty different governments and circumnavigated the globe during the research, gathering data from physicians the world over. For some time he was in the largest medical institutions of Europe, and upon his return to the United States published the result of his study in connection with Mr. Philip G. Peabody, of Boston, Mass., in a pamphlet with an introduction by Robert G. Ingersoll. In 1895 he returned to Europe to continue his studies in Paris. After completing his special course in France, the Doctor returned to America, and later settled in Atchison, where he has built up a fine practice. In politics Dr. Baudry is a stanch supporter of the Democratic party and an earnest worker in its interests, but is too fully engaged with professional work to take office. Fraternally he is a member of the Woodmen of the World, Yeomen, and the Fraternal Aid Society.

On Dec. 30, 1897, he married Miss Clara H. Homer, of Atchison. They have two children—Denease and Maurice Stewart. Dr. Baudry has been one of the supreme physicians of the Modern Brotherhood of America since November, 1904, and is filling that trying and delicate position to great satisfaction. He stands high among the medical fraternity, and deserves great credit for the position which he has gained. He has forged ahead by hard work, tenacity and determination.
