Mayo family

Family of U.S. physicians. William Worrall Mayo (b. May 31, 1819, near Manchester, Eng.—d. March 6, 1911, Rochester, Minn., U.S.) came to the U.S. in 1845. He opened a surgical practice in Rochester, Minn., in 1863, and in 1889 he opened St. Mary's Hospital with his two sons and the Sisters of St. Francis. His elder son, William James (b. June 29, 1861, Le Sueur, Minn.—d. July 28, 1939, Rochester), specialized in surgery of the abdomen, pelvis, and kidney and served as administrator. Charles Horace (b. July 19, 1865, Rochester—d. May 26, 1939, Chicago, Ill.), a gifted surgeon in all areas, originated modern procedures in goitre surgery, neurosurgery, and orthopedic surgery. About 1900 the partnership was changed to a voluntary association of physicians and specialists, later known as the Mayo Clinic. In 1915 the brothers established the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, which offers graduate training in medicine and related subjects.
