Edward Lawrence Keyes

Edward Lawrence Keyes (1843–1924) was a leading American urologist of the late 19th century[1] and the first president of the American Association of Genitourinary Surgeons at its founding in 1888.[2]

Life

Keyes, a son of General Erasmus D. Keyes, was born 28 August 1843 at Fort Moultrie Army Base in Charleston, South Carolina. He studied at Yale, 1859–1863, and briefly served as his father's aide-de-camp. After graduating from Medical College of the City University of New York, he entered into practice with one of his teachers, William Holme Van Buren. In 1870 he himself began lecturing on dermatology and genitourinary surgery at Bellevue Hospital Medical College.

Family

Keyes married Sarah Loughborough in 1870. From 1881 to 1907 they lived at 930 Fifth Avenue, which they had decorated by John F. Douthitt and where Sarah hosted a salon.

Their son, Edward Loughborough Keyes, was like his father a noted urologist.

gollark: Easy. Many goals a god could have would be harder to achieve if there were other gods interfering. So obviously they would immediately engage in wars of extermination.
gollark: That just pushes the problem up a level.
gollark: I do not understand your sentence.
gollark: We do know how the world (the Earth, that is) was created. We don't know how the universe came into existence, but you have exactly the same issue with a god.
gollark: It might actually be worse in that case, because at least for the universe thing you can just lean on the anthropic principle - if things *had* gone differently such that we did not exist, we would not be here to complain about it.
