Footnote: Dr. Llewelyn was later in private practice in Pocomoke City. When he left Pocomoke about midway through the 1950's to return to his native North Carolina he was succeeded in his practice by Dr. C. Stanford Hamilton.

Dr. Llewelyn's son Doug pursued a media career in television that included hosting the original People's Court TV program in the 1980's and 90's. Dr. Hamilton, in his 40's, died in the early 1960's when the car in which he was a passenger was involved in a single vehicle crash on Route 50 returning from a Baltimore Colts game. Accomplished actress Linda Hamilton is Dr. Hamilton's daughter.
