Notes
a. Note:   N689 Dr. John Zahorsky (Jr.) was a very prominent man in Steelville.He authored several books and was well known throughout the US. They lived just on the edge of Steelville on the 3000 acre Silverwood Farm. There is a bio in the Crawford County history book along with a photo of him and same for his parents. If you are interested I can scan it and send it to you. It only mentions her parents and when they moved from Michigan to St. Louis. There is also a bio on Dr. Joseph Cushing, no photo. These people are very well educated, even the women.
  John Zahorsky was the son of John Zahorsky and Amalia Zahorsky, née Gura, Hungarian immigrants who moved to Steelville, Missouri, when he was seven year old. The name Zahorsky has been traced to the Polish word, Zagorza, which signifies "from the hills." Zahorsky means, therefore, the family from the hills.
  To pay for his way through Missouri Medical College (since absorbed by Washington University), he worked as a pharmacist, file clerk and ladies' wear salesman.
  On June 27, 1900, John Zahorsky married Carrie Elizabeth Silverwood (1876-1947) in St. Louis, Missouri. They had a daughter and a son.
  John Zahorsky was Professor of Pediatrics and Director of the Department of Pediatries, St. Louis University School of Medicine, St. Louis. After more than 40 years as a specialist in paediatrics and practicing in big St. Louis hospitals, Zahorsky went back to his old home town, Steelville, Missouri, to practice as a country doctor.
