Dr. Ephraim Cleese

Here's what Rysher Entertainment had to say about him:

An Easterner, now established as the town doctor - for that matter the only doctor for miles around - Dr. Ephraim Cleese has come to feel at home in Curtis Wells, especially since it has grown from the one-horse town that it once was. He keeps up the latest medical advances, which he incorporates into his grass-roots style practice.

History:

came to CW after Sarah Peale's death
rides a pennyfarthing
was going to send away for a mail order bride
repairs jewelry in his spare time
has a phonograph
had an "understanding" with Fiona, until she was killed by Della
Dr. Cleese's office is located upstairs in one of the buildings
