Personal surgeon to Theodore Roosevelt and Lt. Commander, U. S. N. who received a Congressional Medal for his efforts during the Spanish-American War. In 1904, while on the battleship “Missouri,” Dr. Urie and the crew were injured in a tremendous turret explosion. He tended to the injured and dying for 36 hours while suffering from a punctured lung, eventually collapsing. Two bank checks, 7.5 x 3, each filled out and signed by Urie, “J. F. Urie,” dated September 4, 1903, and September 16, 1903. In fine condition, with three vertical folds to each check, and the expected cancellation holes, none of which affect the fantastic signatures.
