Dr. Samuel Puleston

Puleston_picFrom the "Sanford, the Gate City, Florida" - 1910:

Dr. Samuel Puleston is one of Sanford’s foremost physicians.  He is a thoroughly prepared, skillful and eminently successful doctor.  Data for this mention has failed to reach us, and we can only add that socially and among business men, as well as professionally, he stands high.  His office is in the National Bank Building.

When Dr. Park began his practice in Seminole County in 1924, his only offer of credibility at his young age was that he was as bald as a bowling ball. His son sketched this picture of him with hair as a joke. Click the picture to enlarge.
