WALTER G. EBERLE, M. D.
    Dr. Walter G. Eberle, who returned to the private practice of medicine and
surgery in Fort Smith following his active service in the World war, now
occupies an enviable professional position and his record stands in
contradistinction to the old adage that a prophet is not without honor save in
his own country. Dr. Eberle is a native of the city in which he makes his home
and is here accorded a liberal and gratifying patronage. He was born in the 11th
of September, 1886, his parents being Dr. J. G. and Elizabeth (Pearson) Eberle,
the former also a capable physician, whose example has been an inspiration to
the son. The latter pursued his early education in the public schools of Fort
Smith and then in preparation for his professional career, went east to
matriculate in the Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia. Pennsylvania. He
there pursued the regular course, winning his M. D. degree and later he took up
postgraduate work in the Bellevue and allied hospitals of New York city. He has
availed himself of every opportunity to promote his knowledge and alvance his
efficiency in practice and by broad reading and study has kept in touch with the
trend of professional research and investigation. In the early days of his
active career he served as a surgeon instructor in New York and also on the
training ship Newport, specializing in surgery during that period. In 1913 he
returned to Fort Smith, where he entered upon private practice and was not long
in demonstrating his ability to cope with the intricate and involved problems
occasioned by disease. Gradually his patronage was increasing, but in 1917 he
put aside all business and personal considerations in order to respond to the
country's call for medical aid in connection with the World war. He became a
first lieutenant in the Medical Corps of the Field Artillery at Camp Beauregard,
Louisiana, and there remained until August, 1918, when he was sent overseas. He
was assigned to duty with the field troops as regimental surgeon and continued
until his aid was no longer needed in France.

    With his return to Fort Smith, in 1919. Dr. Eberle resumed private practice
and has again become well established in his profession in his native city. He
married Miss Ella Smart of Wellsboro. Pennsylvania, and, like her husband, she
has made for herself an enviable social position during the period of her
residence in the southwest. Dr. Eberle never lightly regards the duties
devolving upon him in his professional capacity. nor his duties as a man and
citizen, and the friends he has made as the years have gone by mark him as one
of the popular residents of Fort Smith.
