Paul Revere Osler: the other child.

Paul Revere Osler: the other child. Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2015 Jan;28(1):21-4 Authors: Golden RL Abstract Sir William Osler (1849-1919) is among the most honored and esteemed physicians of our time. His life, and that of his wife Grace Revere Osler (1854-1928), has been examined in great detail by historians and biographers and continues to be the subject of intensive scrutiny. Their son "Revere" (Edward Revere Osler) (1895-1917), who died in the Great War, is often mistakenly referred to as their only child. Grace had two previous pregnancies, having given birth to Paul Revere Osler, who lived but a week, early in their marriage in 1893 and to a stillborn infant during her first marriage to Dr. Samuel W. Gross in 1877. Information regarding these two events is often ill defined, cursory, or incorrect. New research provides further knowledge of these events and their impact, giving a fuller understanding and a more lucid historiography of the Oslers. PMID: 25552789 [PubMed]
