Excerpt from Francis C. Waid's Third Souvenir, 1886
"Dr. Best had been in continuous practice in Meadville for 34 years. He was a prominent physician, well known and esteemed by his fellowmen. I have frequently thought that to know him was to love him--and I have known him for over thirty years. I cherish his memory as a true friend, one who often greeted me as a brother as we met journeying the pathway of life."
