OSSIAN H. KING, M. D.
    Dr. Ossian H. King, specializing in the treatment of diseases of the eye,
ear, nose and throat, has been numbered among the medical practitioners of Hot
Springs since December, 1915, with the exception of one year spent in the
service of his country during the World war. He was born in Louisiana on the
27th of October, 1886, and was seven years of age when his parents established
the family home in Little Rock, Arkansas. His early education obtained in the
public schools, was supplemented by a course of study in the old Arkansas
Military Academy and on attaining his majority he entered the College of
Physicians & Surgeons, from which institution he was graduated as a member of
the class of 1911. He then attended Knapp's Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Sanitarium
of Vincennes, Indiana, and later pursued postgraduate work on the eye and ear in
both New York and Chicago. In December, 1915, he located for practice at Hot
Springs, where he has remained through the intervening period to the present,
with the exception of one year's service as a medical officer during the World
war. He joined the Medical Corps in March, 1918, and was attached to the air
service at Kelly Field and at Ellington Field, being commissioned first
lieutenant. He was discharged in April, 1919, and has a captain's commission in
the Medical Officers' Reserve Corps. On returning to civil life he resumed his
professional duties in Hot Springs, where he has built up an enviable practice
of lucrative proportions that is a merited tribute to his skill and ability in
his chosen line. His professional membership connections are with the Garland
County Medical Society, the Arkansas State Medical Society, the Southern Medical
Association, the American Medical Association and the American Academy of
Ophthalmology and Oto-Laryngology.

    In 1914 Dr. King was united in marriage to Miss Margaret McDonald and they
are a well known and popular young couple of Hot Sorings. The Doctor is a
Knights Templar Mason and also belongs to the Mystic Shrine, exemplifying in his
daily life the beneficent spirit of the craft. In the field of his specialty he
has demonstrated a degree of skill and efficiency that has established him among
the representative and able members of the profession in his adopted state.
