Doctor
of Medicine degree, from the Meharry Medical College, U.S.A., on

The
young doctor hails from the parish of
Manchester where he
completed his elementary
schooling, then passed his pupil teacher's
examinations under the tuition of his
brother, at the Guanaboa Vale
school, St.
Catherine, He took his secondary
training at the Kingston
High School, under
Mr. A. S. Clarke, (principal.)
He
started to study drugs and poisons at
Drs. Saunders and Allwood,
passing the
dispenser's examination in two years. He was
then engaged
in the drug business for a
period of two years, at the expiration
of which
time he went to America.
Here he enlisted in the British Army and was
in actual service for a period
of 18 months, in the Royal Welsh
Fusilliers.
On
returning to America, he entered Howard
University where he
completed his college
course and took up the study of
medicine in 1926.

plans to practice his profession in the
U.S.A. for some time and then
specialize

Dr Hendricks did return to practice in Jamaica, but by 1950
he had returned to the USA; after that we lose track of him
- may be there is someone who could complete his story.
