`TALES OF OLD DOC TOPPER BY HIS SON`
The Bedford County Historical Society is honored to have John Topper, Jr. speak about his father, Dr. John A. Topper, Country Doctor.
`Doc Topper` was a local, old-school country doctor who made house calls, dispensed his own medications and often traded his services for whatever commodity the patient could afford. Our speaker, John Topper, Jr., is known as the `Christian Cowboy` and resides in Hyndman. He will also be acknowledging a special gift from the Topper family on display at the Bedford County Historical Society.
