BiographyHennis was born in Youghal, County Cork, Ireland. He graduated from the University of Edinburgh with a Doctor of Medicine in 1825.[2] He moved to Exeter in 1830 and on 2 November 1830 became a physician at the Exeter Dispensary. During the city's cholera outbreak in 1832, he was appointed medical officer to the poorest South District of the city where he gained a reputation for kindness and hard work.[3] In May 1833, Hennis had a disagreement with Sir John Jeffcott which resulted in a duel with pistols on 10 May. Hennis later died on 18 May 1833 from his wounds.[4] Following his death, the people of Exeter were outraged. Two hundred and fifty dignitaries attended his funeral service at the Cathedral and 20,000 citizens lined the route to St Sidwell’s Church where he was interred, such was the depth of feeling toward him.[3] References1. ^{{cite book |last=Broughton |first=Patrick |date=2003 |title=Forgotten hero |url=http://www.devon.gov.uk/print/index/cultureheritage/libraries/localstudies/lsdatabase.htm?url=etched/etched/76047/1.html |location=Exeter |publisher=P.Broughton}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Hennis, Peter}}2. ^{{Cite web|url = https://www.era.lib.ed.ac.uk/handle/1842/10438|title = Dissertatio medica inauguralis de scrofula : quam, annuente summo numine|last = Hennis|first = Peter|date = 1825|website = Edinburgh Research Archive|publisher =|access-date = 12 May 2016}} 3. ^1 {{Citation | last =Ayres | first =Sue | title =Hennis, Peter | publisher =Exeter Civic Society | url =http://www.exetercivicsociety.org.uk/plaques/dr-peter-hennis/ | accessdate =11 June 2015 }} 4. ^{{Citation | last =Urban | first =Sylvanas | title =The Gentleman's Magazine | place =London | publisher =J.B Nicols and Son | series =The Gentleman's Magazine | volume =103 | year =1833 | month= | edition = | chapter = | page =572 | url =https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=W-BL1uDHsU0C&pg=PA572 }} 6 : 1802 births|1833 deaths|19th-century English medical doctors|Duelling fatalities|Alumni of the University of Edinburgh|People from Youghal |
