This is a distant uncle of Man's.  He is a wealth of interesting stories, living 94 years.  I have written about him before here on Reflections.

Born in England, lived in New York State, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma.  I find reports that he traveled back to England in his last years to fortune hunt, failed that one.  Had 14 children, more or less. Gold hunter.  And, veterinarian.  

Never stop researching, especially newspapers.  This one is from 1891, published in "The Fair Play", Arkansas City, Cowley County, Kansas.

* By the way, the 35 years in America, means he began practice in 1856? Right? 

I offer - - 

1850 census, occupation -  teamster.

1856 census of Iowa, occupation -  hard to read, looked like “horse ferries”.

1860 census, occupation - farmer.

1870 census, occupation - farmer.

1880 census, occupation - “vetneary sergeon”.
