A photograph taken in Philadelphia at the Jefferson Medical School picturing five medical students working with a cadaver. Only one of the men is identified: Wilhelm “William” Lebo, who is fourth from the left in the photo.
Wilhelm Lebo was born on October 1, 1947, in Lykens Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, to parents of French origin. The family had strong ties to Gratz. Early in life he decided to become a medical doctor. In 1870, he was “reading” medicine with Dr. Isaiah S. Schminky in Gratz. Dr. Lebo graduated from Jefferson Medical School in 1872 and then located his first practice in Valley View, Schuylkill County. Then, in 1873, he married Sarah Boyer.
Dr. Lebo died on November 10, 1920 in Hegins Township, Schuylkill County. He is buried at the St. Andrew’s Cemetery in Valley View.
