Winslow, John Lang, M.D., one of the younger physicians of Pittsburg,
was born in Jersey City, N.J., March 20, 1870, son of Dr. W. H. and Anna Traquair (Lang) Winslow. The founder of the family was Edward Winslow, the first Governor
of Plymouth Colony, who came to America in the "Mayflower." Dr. W. H. Winslow, a native of Belfast, Me., married Miss Lang, of Philadelphia, Pa.,
who had two children by him — George Herbert and John Lang. In the United States Navy during the Civil War he attained a Lieutenancy, and a large part of
his life was spent away from home.
John Lang Winslow was brought up by his grandfather, George Shortread Lang, near Philadelphia. In 1878 the family removed to Pittsburg, where he was a
pupil of the public schools. He subsequently attended the Western University. While a Sophomore, Mr. Dalzall sent him to West Point, from which he returned
a year later in ill health. Soon after he commenced his medical studies in Cleveland, Ohio. He graduated from the Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia
in the class of 1891, and in the following year took a post-graduate course at the Cleveland Medical College. Having finished his professional education by
further courses at New York Ophthalmic Hospital, he became associated in practice with his father, with whom he has since continued. Dr. Winslow is a
specialist in diseases of the eye, ear, nose, and throat; and he has a large practice among the best people. He is an Episcopalian. On November 7, 1894,
he married Miss Mary S. Denniston, a daughter of William H. Denniston. Mrs. Winslow is a native of Pittsburg, and was educated in the Washburn School,
the St. Xavier's Convent, and at the Washington Seminary.
