Dr. Horatio X. Peg's Anatomy Class
Great Uncle and noted pathologist Dr. Horatio X. Peg traveled with the Springer and Schofield Brother's Circus teaching physicians, veterinarians and taxidermists the science of comparative anatomy. He insisted that all students wear silk top hats and comport themselves as gentlemen throughout the process to avoid conflict with local constabularies.
Never the less, Dr. Peg became a wanted man in Knockemstiff, Ohio after he asked for dissection volunteers while inebriated at a local pub. He was forced to blend in with the circus performers. When the Ringmaster would not relinquish his position Dr. Horatio X. Peg assumed the role of lion cage attendant Unfortunately he still smelled like a butcher to the big cats and he sobered up to discover his right arm in the jaws of an hungry lion.
Although he lost his arm in the incident, Dr. Horatio X. Peg survived. He spent the better part of two years attempting to attach the arm of an orangutan to his shoulder so he could continue teaching. He succumbed to the ravages of a perfidious immune system and was laid to rest in the Ozark mountains. His contributions to the science of comparative anatomy were lost as the circus clowns rolled cigarettes using the paper of his notebooks and journals.
