OORE,
JOHN DE VELLO, M. D., of Nyack, N. Y., was born, January 27th, 1845,
near Johnstown, N. Y., where his great-grandparents located on their
emigration to America. He was a pupil in the Johnstown Academy, from his
fifth year until he attained the age of twelve. He then entered the
well-known family-school of the Rev. James Gilmore, at Ballston Spa, N.
Y., where he was prepared for the second year of his collegiate course.
He commenced the study of medicine at the age of eighteen, and was
received in the office of Henry Berkly, M. D., of Peekskill, N. Y., in
1865. In March, 1868, he graduated in the New York Medical College.
Going to Europe, in May of that year, the following month he was
received as an interne pupil, in the Rotunda Lying-in Hospital, in
Dublin, Ireland. Here he completed the prescribed course, and received
his diploma and certificates of merits. He then visited the several
hospitals of London. Afterwards he went to Vienna, where he spent a year
in the General Hospital of Vienna, attending the clinics regularly, and
receiving special instruction from many of the celebrated physicians at
that time connected with that famous institution. This he could not have
accomplished had he not possessed a complete knowledge of the German
language. Very soon after his return from Europe, he located in Nyack,
where his success, as a practitioner, has secured for him a large and
remunerative practice.Source
