J. H. CONYERS Late Surgeon-General, British Guiana
By the death of Dr. James Hill Conyers at Hove on February 4 (writes K. S. W.) there passed away one of the
most distinguished and beloved members of the medical service of British Guiana. Few lives can have been
more completely devoted to the service of his fellow people and few have commanded in an equal degree their
full respect and complete confidence.
He was born in British Guiana in 1864, and his early education was passed in the schools of that Colony. He
soon showed that ability and skill which was to characterize his work interest, and as an operating surgeon
he continued his career and in 1908 was appointed assistant resident surgeon at the principal hospital. His
skill and judgment in surgical treatment and his courtesy and kind,considerate manner soon brought him
promotion,and in 1912 he took over the charge of the New Amsterdam Hospital. His administrative qualities
were soon evident,and his reconstruction of the different departments of this hospital being completed in an
eminently satisfactory manner,he was called to take charge of the principal hospital in Georgetown.In
1919,when the Surgeon General of British Guiana was promoted to Trinidad, Dr. J.H.Convyers was recognized as
the most suitable officer to fill the vacant position,and thus he reached the culminating point of his
career by holding the principal administrative position in the medical service of the Colony. In 1921
failing health necessitated his retirement, to the universal regret of al classes of the community. There
after he lived in England,first at Margate, then in London, and lately at Hove.
To those who knew Dr. Conyers intimately he will be chiefly remembered not so much on account of the
valuable work he accomplished during a long and active life as on account of what he was. He was a man of
absolute integrity of character,unable to do an unkind,selfish,or unworthy action;afine gentleman of a
disappearing generation,imbued through and through with a kindly courtesy and aninnate consideration for all
people from the highest to the lowest. He leaves a widow.also in the medical profession, and a married
daughter.
