CHARLES CALLOWAY PRICE, M. D.
    Dr. Charles Calloway Price, a man of high professional attainments, has
devoted twenty-five years to the practice of medicine and surgery and is
numbered among the leading physicians of Desha county, having maintained an
office at Dumas since 1911. He was born in Franklin county, Virginia, July 16,
1872, a son of Owen H. and Lucy (Taliaferro) Price, both of whom were natives of
that state. The father was one of the most prominent men in public affairs of
Franklin county, filling various important public offices, and for about
eighteen years prior to his demise he served as clerk of the circuit court, most
capably discharging the duties of that position. He died at Rockymount,
Virginia, the county seat of Franklin county, in 1910, when sixty-eight years of
age. The mother was called to her final rest in 1889.

    In the acquirement of au education Charles Calloway Price attended the
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and Washington and Lee University at Lexington,
that state. In 1893 he matriculated in the Medical College of Virginia, from
which he was graduated in 1896, and then served an interneship in the Rebecca
Sanitarium at Roanoke, Virginia, thus gaining valuable practical experience. On
the 1st of January, 1897, he opened an office in Douglas, Lincoln county,
Arkansas, where he successfully followed his profession for thirteen years, and
in 1910 he became connected with the Rockefeller Foundation as a member of the
hookworm commission, serving in that capacity for about ten mouths. In January,
1911, he came to Dumas, where he has since been located, and in the intervening
period he has built up a large practice. He has never regarded his education as
completed with the termination of his college work but has ever remained a close
and discriminating student of his profession and in 1904 he took a postgraduate
course in the New York Polyclinic, while in 1917 he attended Tulane University
at New Orleans, Louisiana, thereby greatly promoting his knowledge and
efficiency. In addition to his activities in the medical profession Dr. Price is
also acting as engineer of the Desha drainage district, No. 5.

    In 1915 was solemnized the marriage of Charles C. Price and Miss Ruth
Kiteley of Dumas, and they have become the parents of two children: Charles C.,
Jr. aud Alfie T. Dr. and Mrs. Price are members of the Methodist Episcopal
church, South, and Dr. Price is serving on its board of stewards. Fraternally he
is identified with the Masons, belonging to Omega Lodge, No. 547, F. & A. M.,
and Victory Chapter, No. 113, R. A. M., and he is also connected with the
Knights of Pythias, while his professional relations are with the Desha County
and Arkansas State Medical Societies. Progress has been the keynote of his
career and he is an exponent of all that is highest, best and most advanced in
the practice of medicine and surgery and of all that is most worthy and
honorable in his relations to his fellowmen.
