Dr. George D. Lezotte – August 26, 1857 – July 4, 1938
Source: Portrait and Biographical Album, Muscatine County, Iowa, 1889, page 169
DR. GEORGE D. LEZOTTE, of the firm of Cobb and Lezotte, physicians, of Muscatine, was born in Andover Mass., Aug. 26, 1856, and is a son of Lewis H. and Caroline E. ( Leighton ) Lezotte, the father a native of New York and the mother of Maine.
His paternal great-grandfather came from France to this country prior to the Revolutionary War, in which he afterward served with distinction under the brave and daring Ethan Allen.
When our subject was but two and a half years old his mother died, and he went to live with his grandparents, with whom he remained until ten years of age, when he went to live with his father, who was a sutler in the late war, but had then returned and settled in Osage, Mitchell Co., Iowa.
Soon after arriving in Osage he secured employment in a drug-store, having always had a desire to engage in the drug business. He received a liberal education in the schools of that town, and at the age of twenty-two years entered the office of Dr. Chase, one of the prominent physicians of Osage.
He subsequently attended Rush Medical College of Chicago, for which he was graduated, receiving his degree on the 22d day of February, 1881. He then commenced the practice of his profession at Clarksville, but having a good business opening presented to him at Muscatine he removed to this city, and formed a partnership with Dr. Cobb, since which time he has been actively engaged in practice. He is a member of the Muscatine Medical Society of Physicians and Surgeons, in which he holds the position of Secretary and Treasurer, and is also a member of the Eastern Iowa Medical Society, in which he serves as one of the Board of Censors, and is a member of the State Medical Society.
At Cedar Falls, Iowa, Dr. Lezotte led to the marriage altar Miss Kittie Shepard, who was born June 2, 1863, in Fond du Lac County, Wis., and is a daughter of George B. Shepard. Two children have been born of this union---Eve C. and Helen M.
Dr. Lezotte is a studious man and a hard thinker, and has been eminently successful in his profession. He has made many warm friends since coming to this county, and is highly esteemed by all. Socially, he is a Knight Templar, and has held several offices in the Blue and other lodges.
