After some more detective work, I have found a few more places mentioning, presumably, our good doctor.
Most interesting is a paper that he co-authored in 1933, Nitrous Oxid for Major Oral Surgery: http://www.anesthesia-...8a-beb2-249df1e4311b
It's a shame that it takes $15 or a subscription to 'Anesthesia and Analgesia' to read it, and perhaps find out more about him.

There is a small blurp about him staying at the Ocean Hotel in 1909 in the New York Times: http://query.nytimes.c...56C2A9619C946897D6CF

It also seems that he invented, or otherwise played a significant role in devicing, a type of dental tool called a Walter F. Barry root elevator.

Given his death in 1951, though not natural, and him being a doctor in 1909, I would guess that he would have been born around the 1880s give or take a decade or two.


Wow, at this point I start to question why I went out of my way to find out about this man. Guess I just found it interesting, and if any one of you guys do to, then all the better.

Oh cool, I tried googling his name, though it was a lackluster attempt and I didn't find anything. Thanks Just another building!
