C. S. WILSON, M. D.
    Dr. C. S. Wilson, a well known and highly regarded medical practitioner of
Gentry, where he has successfully followed his profession for the past eight
years, was born in Lee county, Iowa, on the 6th of September, 1877, his parents
being G. W. and Lucy Elizabeth (Stewart) Wilson, who are likewise natives of the
Hawkeye state. The paternal grandfather, George Wilson, was born in Tennessee
and in 1832 removed to Iowa, where he entered a tract of land from the
government and spent the remainder of his life. Frank Stewart, the maternal
grandfather of Dr. Wilson, was a native of Scotland, but emigrated to the United
States in his boyhood and settled in Iowa, where he also made his home until
called to his final rest. G. W. Wilson, the father of the Doctor, has
successfully devoted his attention to general agricultural pursuits throughout
his active business career, and now resides with his wife in Missouri. His
political allegiance is given to the democratic party, and at one time he
capably filled the office of assessor. His family numbers six children, namely:
C. S., of this review: George Frank, a railway engineer residing in Alliance,
Nebraska; Mary Grace, who is the wife of John Spencer, a fanner residing at
Gibbs, Missouri; Walter B., who is a geologist in the service of the Gypsy Oil
Company of Tulsa; Edward D., who cultivates the home farm .near Gibbs, Missouri;
and Alice Beatrice, who is the wife of Ray Begole, a railway agent of La Plata,
Missouri.

    C. S. Wilson obtained his education in the schools of his native state and
prepared for a professional career as a student in the medical department of the
St. Louis University, which conferred upon him the degree of M. D. in 1905.
During the succeeding eight years he practiced medicine in Missouri and in 1913
removed to Gentry, Arkansas, which has since remained the scene of his
professional labors. He has pursued several postgraduate courses in Chicago and
in 1920 did postgraduate work in St. Louis. His practice has become extensive
and important, steadily increasing in volume as he has demonstrated his
professional skill in the successful treatment of many difficult cases. He is
now serving as president of the Benton County Medical Society and he also
belongs to the Arkansas State Medical Society and the American Medical Association.

    On the 29th of April, 1912, Dr. Wilson was united in marriage to Miss Maun
Shibley, a native of Missouri and a daughter of John Shibley, who is a retired
physician of Gentry, Arkansas. Dr. and Mrs. Wilson have one son, John Stewart,
who is six years of age. The mother belongs to the Congregational church. In his
political views Dr. Wilson is a stalwart democrat and his aid and influence can
ever be counted upon to further any movement or measure instituted to advance
the general welfare.
