County Physicians We do not find the record of a county physician in Sheridan county prior to 1890, at which time J. Q. Elmore was appointed. The record is quite complete until 1914. A. N. Sheffner followed Elmore, and the following names appear as having been in duty looking after the public health: E. T. Julian, T. B. Rankin, J. R, C Davis, O. L. Wilson. Z. T. Daniel and A. J. Molzahn. Davis served six consecutive years between 1894 and 1900, and Wilson six years almost immediately following that period.
