Harold Gifford

Harold Gifford Sr. (1858-1929) was an ophthalmologist, a discrete philanthropist, and an ardent nature enthusiast. He was born in Milwaukee, WI, obtained his PhD from the University of Michigan, and traveled to Europe for his post-graduate work alongside the most well-respected ophthalmologist of his day. Returning to the United States, Gifford settled in Omaha, NE, where, with his wife Mary at his side, he went on to become one of the city's most prominent surgeons. rdf:langString
