Hugh Elliott Binks, DVM
Dr. Hugh Elliott Binks died on May 29, 2010, after a
short illness. He was born August 31, 1922, in Elgin
County, Ontario, the 7th of 13 children of George and
Flossie Fulmer Binks. He was reared on the family dairy
farm and attended local schools. During World War II he
instructed pilots from Canada, Australia, and Great
Britain as an officer in the Royal Canadian Air Force.
After the War, he attended Ontario Veterinary College,
graduating in 1949. He moved to Kentucky with his wife
and two small children to establish and operate a
country farm veterinary practice in
|
Anderson County, Kentucky. In 1963,
he accepted employment with the University of Maryland where he
served several years as Maryland State Veterinarian and, at his
retirement, was the Deputy Secretary of the Maryland Department
of Agriculture.
Dr. Binks was active in a number of
veterinary associations, Rotary Clubs and churches. He authored
books on the History of Animal Disease Programs in Maryland and
on the Binks Family Genealogy. He was an affable man, an avid
reader with a sharp and inquisitive mind; he loved to garden and
took up genealogy as a hobby after moving to Maine in 2003.
If desired, a memorial donation
honoring his life’s dedication to animal health may be made to
the American Veterinary Medical Foundation, 1931 N. Meacham
