      E. E. BITTLES, V. S.,
  
  [p. 943] proprietor of a large veterinary hospital which is situated at
  No. 119 East North Street, New Castle, is a very prominent member of his
  profession, as well as a highly valued and public-spirited citizen. He
  was born in 1863, in Erie County, Pennsylvania.
  
  Dr. Bittles obtained his literary education at Waterford, in Erie
  County. From boyhood, his tastes had led him to care for dumb brutes and
  to feel sympathy for their sufferings, and when he grew to maturity he
  decided to direct his further studies along the lines of veterinary
  science. In 1888 he entered the great veterinary college at Toronto,
  Canada, and after completing his course in 1890, located for practice at
  Greenville, Pa. For three years he was with the firm of Weir Bros., and
  then went to Union City where he practiced until 1895, when he came to
  New Castle. Here he found much demand for his skill, and in order to
  accommodate the animals entrusted to his care in 1901 he found it
  necessary to provide a hospital. He secured a building on North Street,
  one block from the postoffice, three stories in height and 30x45 feet in
  dimensions. This he has equipped with all modern sanitary appliances and
  inventions and has provided here everything for the care, comfort and
  relief of dumb brutes. His heart is in his work, and the demand for his
  services extend all over the country where valuable animals or domestic
  pets are in need of a degree of scientific treatment.
  
  In 1890 Dr. Bittles was married to Miss Belle Hammond, who belongs to
  one of the old families of Erie County. Dr. and Mrs. Bittles are members
  of the Pittsburg Street United Presbyterian Church.
