Description Note |
Dr. Allan Montgomery Ruttan, son of Dr. Allan Ruttan of Newburgh, Ontario, was born in Newburgh and educated at McGill University, where he studied medicine. He is listed in the university’s records as a student in 1879 and as having fulfilled the requirements for the M.D., C.M. degree. He practiced medicine in Quebec for a number of years before relocating to New York, where he worked as a chemist for two decades. Later in life, he moved west to Lloydminster, arriving at the same time as the Barr Colonists, and ultimately settled in Provost, Alberta, where he resided for the last 22 years of his life.Dr. Ruttan retired from active life several years prior to his death and had experienced declining health for approximately four years. He passed away at his home in Provost on the eighteenth anniversary of his marriage, at the age of 74. At the time of his death, he was described as the last remaining scion of a family long noted in Canada for its scientific contributions. He was a descendant of a Huguenot family that emigrated from La Rochelle, France, in 1784. He was survived by his widow and a stepson, William. |
