SAMUEL B. STEELE, M. D.
    Dr. Samuel B. Steele, actively engaged in the practice of medicine and
surgery in Hot Springs, was born in Benton, Arkansas, June 6, 1869, and is a son
of Samuel B. Steele, who served throughout the Civil war as a member of the
Confederate army and who died when his son Samuel was in his first year. The
mother died when the son was but three years of age, and thus left an orphan, he
was reared by an uncle, John L. Hughes, who resided at Little Rock and was a
well-known merchant and planter there.

    Dr. Steele was educated in the public schools of the capital city, passing
through consecutive grades to the high school, and thus laying a good foundation
for his professional knowledge. He first began reading medicine with Dr. A. H.
Scott, and in 1892 he matriculated in the Louisville Medical College at
Louisville, Kentucky, in which he completed his course by graduation with the
class of 1894. Immediately he opened an office in Hot Springs, hanging out his
sign here five days after graduating. Four months later he removed into the
building which he now occupies, and his office has since been maintained here.
He gives his attention exclusively to his practice and professional duties. In
1895 he served as health officer and at all times has aided in maintaining the
highest standards in the municipal health service. He was likewise a member of
the city council from 1895 until 1897. and he exercised his official
prerogatives in support of all plans and measures for the general good.

    Dr. Steele was united in mariage to Miss Harriet L. Gillis, and to them has
been born a son, Gerald, twelve years of age. Dr. and Mrs. Steele occupy an
attractive home which is the abode of warm-hearted hospitality. He is a
stockholder in the Arkansas National Bank, but gives his attention mainly to his
professional duties, and has membership in the County, State, Southern,
Southwestern and American Medical Associations. Through the proceedings of these
bodies he keeps in touch with the trend of modern professional thought,
investigation and progress. He is a most competent physician, conscientious in
the performance of all his professional duties, and his knowledge, ability and
sound judgment are manifest in the liberal practice accorded him.
