Doctor Glenn Fabry makes his practice on the bottom floor (he also doubles as the town dentist), and makes his home on the upper floor of a modest home on Main Street.

Doc Fabry is a widower, having lost his wife to consumption some seven years past. He has a daughter, Ginny, who moved to Carson City with her new husband, Thomas, shortly before that. He lives alone and generally likes it that way. He has an assistant, a Paiute girl who calls herself Abigail or “Abby”.
