PERRY N. SIMS, M. D.—Conspicuous among the enterprising and popular citizens of
Imperial County, is Dr. Perry N. Sims, a well-known physician of Calexico, who,
during the comparatively short time in which he has been here engaged in the
practice of his profession, has met with noteworthy success. Dr. Sims was born
in Columbus, Indiana, August 21, 1884, son of John and Mary (Ross) Sims, the
parents of two children, the subject of this review, and a brother, Walter,
identified with the American Wire and Steel Company. Dr. Sims acquired his
education in the public and high schools of his native city, after which he
attended the Chicago College of Medicine and Surgery, graduating with the class
of 1910. He served as interne in St. Elizabeth Hospital in Chicago, Illinois. He
went to Mexico and practiced two years in Chihuahua, and was resident physician
of the Sierra Mining Company. Owing to the revolution, he left Mexico and
located in Calexico in 1915, where he has met with gratifying success and has
since practiced his profession. In September, 1917, Dr. Sims was appointed City
Physician Health Officer, and is a member of the Board of Health. Fraternally he
is affiliated with the K. of P., and is Past Chancellor of his lodge, and the I.
O. O. F. of Calexico. He was united in marriage to Miss Ethel Beatty, May 18,
1912, a native of Canada. To this union have been born John Ross, born April 15,
1913; and Margaret Mary, born July 24, 1916. Dr. Sims' success has been attained
through the medium of his own efforts and he is today a worthy representative of
his profession. The esteem in which he is held by his associates testifies to
his absolute integrity.
