THOMAS E. SANDERS, M. D.
    Dr. Thomas E. Sanders, actively and successfully engaged in the practice of
medicine in Hot Springs, was born in Beebe, Arkansas, on the 13th of December,
1880. His father, A. F. Sanders, a native of Alabama, was also a physician and
in 1886 came to Hot Springs, where he continued in the practice of his
profession to the time of his death in 1906. He was a veteran of the Civil war,
having joined the Confederate army when a youth of but fourteen years. He
belonged to the Knights of Pythias lodge and was highly esteemed by those with
whom he was brought into contact through social or professional relations.

    Dr. Thomas E. Sanders was a lad of but six years when brought by his parents
to Hot Springs and here he attended the public schools, while after completing
his high school course he became a student in the Arkansas State University,
graduating therefrom with the class of 1901. Whether natural predilection,
environment or inherited tendency had most to do with his choice of a profession
it is perhaps impossible to determine, but at any rate he entered upon the field
of labor for which nature seemed to have aptly adapted him. He determined to
follow in the footsteps of his father and read medicine under his direction for
a time, while later he entered Tulane University at New Orleans, Louisiana, as a
medical student and was graduated therefrom with the class of 1905. He then put
his theoretical knowledge to the practical test by serving as interne in the
Charity Hospital at New Orleans and there gained that broad and valuable
knowledge which hospital practice and experience bring. He afterwards returned
to Hot Springs and became associated with his father in practice, the
partnership continuing until the father's death. Since that time Dr. Sanders has
practiced independently and has steadily advanced by reason of his merit and
skill to a point in the front rank of the able physicians of the city. His
practice is now extensive and of an important character and the results which he
secures well entitle him to the enviable reputation that he now bears.

    Dr. Sanders was married to Miss Ethel Hallman, a daughter of Dr. Hallman,
and they now have two sons: Hallman, who is twelve years of age; and Carl, a lad
of seven. The parents are consistent members of the Methodist Episcopal church
and along strictly professional lines Dr. Sanders is connected with the County,
State and American Medical Associations. He served as city health officer in
1914 and 1915. He is keenly interested in everything that tends to bring to man
the key to the complex mystery which we call life. His reading and study have
covered a wide field and he at all times keeps in touch with the trend of modern
professional thought, investigation and progress.
