John K. Foulkrod of Philadelphia, Pa., received his M.D. from the Medical Department of the University of Pennsylvania in 1879. He was precepted by Jno. C.

At commencement he was awarded the Anatomical Prize for the best record anomalies found in the University's dissecting rooms. Foulkrod set up private practice in Philadelphia. He last appears in contemporary medical directories in 1886. He is known to have died before 1922. No further information on Dr. Foulkrod could be located.
H. Lenox Hodge was born in Philadelphia on 30 July 1836 to Hugh L. and Margaret (Aspinall) Hodge. He married Harriet Roosevelt on 7 Jan. 1869. Hodge died on 16 June 1881 in Philadelphia. He received his A.B. in 1855, and A.M. and M.D. in 1858 from the University of Pennsylvania. After graduating, he was a Resident Physician at the Pennsylvania Hospital (1858-1860).

During the Civil War, Hodge served as a Surgeon to Satterlee Hospital in Philadelphia (1862). He was a member of the Pa.
