Ange Marie François Guépin (August 30, 1805 Pontivy(Morbihan) - Mai 21, 1873, Nantes), French doctor, writer and politician
[From "Guépin of Nantes: A French Republican", by Mary Lowell Putnam, 1874, p.1:] "On the 21st of May, 1873,'died that great and good man Ange Guepin of Nantes. The record of a life devoted to the service of humanity lias interest for all. His affection for our country, the honor in which he held its institutions, his warm sympathy and zealous advocacy in the hour of our national sorrows, give to that of the life of Dr. Guepin a peculiar interest for us."
