DRS. CHARLES R. AND HERBERT C. MOWERY

	Among the highly successful younger members of the medical profession in
Wallace must be numbered Drs. Charles R. and Herbert C. Mowery, who located here
in 1905. They are of German parentage, as the name would suggest, and were born
and reared in Ottumwa, Iowa, in the public schools of which city they acquired
their preliminary education. They subsequently pursued a classical course at the
Iowa State University, at Iowa City, after which they matriculated in the
medical department of the Creighton University at Omaha, Nebraska, this
institution conferring upon them the degree of M. D., upon the completion of
their professional studies. In 1903 they came to Idaho, locating in Wardner,
where for two years they were associated in practice with Dr. Franz. When Dr.
St. Jean bought the Wallace Hospital in 1905 they came here, and for five years
thereafter were on the staff of that institution. They had leave of absence,
however, in 1908 and 1909, and went abroad, pursuing post-graduate courses in
the hospitals of London, Vienna, Berlin and Paris. In 1910 they severed their
connection with the Wallace Hospital and joined the staff of Providence
Hospital, with which institution they continue to be identified. They are well
qualified for the duties of their profession both by reason of their thorough
preparation and natural aptitude, possessing the mental characteristics and
personality so essential to success in this of all vocations. They have met with
good success during the period of their residence in Wallace and have built up
lucrative private practices in addition to their hospital work.
	They have neither of them ever married. They are actively identified with a
number of fraternal organizations, holding membership in the Elks, Wallace
Lodge, No. 331, B. P. O. E.; and the Eagles and the Red Men, all of this city.
They are also affiliated with the Masonic order, belonging to Wardner Lodge, No.
34, A. F. & A. M.; the Knights of Pythias, Galena Lodge, No. 12; and the Woodmen
of the World, all of Wardner. Their connection -with associations of a
professional nature is confined to their membership in the Pacific Coast
Association of Railway Surgeons. They are held in high regard in Wallace both
professionally and socially and would seem to have most promising futures,
judging by their success as practitioners since locating here.
