Yes Virginia, there really is a Dr. Beaver!
Redlands was just a little town in 1931. It, like most of the
country, was struggling to recover from the depression. Nevertheless,
a young doctor came to town in that year and opened a practice
at 131 Cajon Street. By 1939 he had acquired property at 2 W.
Fern, and by 1941 he and several associates were practicing there.
Surely you guess by now that we're talking about Dr. Meredith
Beaver.
When only 16 years old, during WWI, Meredith Beaver joined the
army and served in France. Originally from the Midwest, his family
later moved to Oregon where he earned his medical degree from
the University of Oregon. He was awarded a fellowship to the Mayo
Clinic, where he earned an advanced degree in surgery. During
WWII, Dr. Meredith Beaver, as a colonel, oversaw several army
medical facilities. When the war ended, he returned to his medical
practice on Fern Avenue and to what would be his life's work.
