SAMUEL P. STUBBS, M. D.
    Among those who are devoting their attention to the indispensable practice
of medicine and putting forth most earnest effort to check the ravages of
disease, is Dr. Samuel P. Stubbs of Fort Smith, who opened an office in this
city in 1919. He is a native of the neighboring state of Missouri, his birth
having occurred in Platte City, on the 10th of August, 1880, his parents being
B. H. and Iris (Oliver) Stubbs, the former a native of Missouri, while the
latter was born in Tennessee. The father served in the Union army during the
Civil war. The mother's people belonged to an old southern family who were
extensive landowners in the vicinity of Oliver Springs, Tennessee, and had a
large number of slaves there.

    Dr. Stubbs, whose name introduces this review, obtained his early education
in the common schools near his father's home and also attended high school in
Kansas City Missouri. He determined to devote his life to a professional career,
and deciding upon the practice of medicine, he then entered the Kansas City
College of Medicine and Surgery. He pursued the complete course, thus thoroughly
qualifying for active practice, and in 1919 he came to Fort Smith, where he
opened an office and has here remained. In the intervening period he has built
up a large and lucrative practice and has been very successful in its conduct.
He is extremely careful in the diagnosis of his cases and is seldom, if ever, at
fault in foretelling the outcome of disease. He displays the utmost devotion to
the needs of the profession, and while he does not hastily discard old and
time-tried methods, he is quick to take up any new idea which his judgment
sanctions as of value in professional work.

    Dr. Stubbs married Miss Loga Arterbury of Neosho, Missouri, and they have
become the parents of one child, Samuel P. Dr. Stubbs had been previously
married and by his first wife, who bore the maiden name of Alice Watkins, he
also had one child, Velma. Dr. Stubbs is medical examiner for the Woodmen of the
World. He is well known both in his professional capacity and socially and the
sterling traits of his character are recognized by all with whom he comes into
contact.
