LOUIS C. DeWOODY, M. D.
    Dr. Louis C. DeWoody, physician and surgeon of Hot Springs, was born in what
is now Nevada county, Arkansas, near the city of Prescott, June 25. 1868, his
parents being Mr. and Mrs. John A. DeWoody. The father was a planter, who served
in the Confederate army during the Civil war, as did two of his brothers. He
died when his son, Dr. DeWoody, was but three years of age, and the mother died
when the Doctor was but two years old. The boy was then reared hy his uncle,
Philip G. DeWoody, who was also an ex-Confederate soldier and who in times of
peace followed the occupation of farming. Louis C. DeWoody acquired a common and
high school education at Bluff City, Arkansas. He took up the study of medicine
under the direction of his father-in-law, who was a physician. He continued his
reading in this way for a time, and in 1894-1895 attended lectures at the State
University at Little Rock. In the spring of 1895 he began the practice of his
profession at Norphlet, Arkansas, where he remained for four months, and then
returned to a point near his own home locality in Nevada county. He continued
there for three years and next went to Stamps, Lafayette county, Arkansas, where
he resided for six years. In 1908 he came to Hot Springs, where he has since
specialized in genito-urinary diseases, having developed a high degree of
efficiency in this particular branch of practice. He has studied thoroughly
along that line, keeping in touch with the latest scientific researches and
discoveries and as a genito-urological surgeon he has gained a notable position.

    Dr. DeWoody is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and his life is
ever guided by its teachings. Dr. DeWoody also belongs to the Masonic fraternity
and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, but has comparatively little time for
lodge work. as his efforts and energies are demanded by his professional duties.
He belongs to the County, Arkansas State and Southern Medical Associations. His
ability is constantly augmented and promoted by his thorough study and research,
and he is familiar with all that scientific research has brought to light
concerning the profession, especially in the line to which he is mainly devoting
his attention.
