Thanks for tip, and looks to be the guy. Found a source from 1897 referring to a Brigadier General M. O. Terry of Utica, NY - Surgeon General of the New York National Guard.
Had also been head of at least a couple of New York medical associations.

He'd have been 54 in 1902, so surprised he was Vice President of Savage Arms rather than tied up with private practice.

Picture of him from 1895
