CHARLES E. STAGNER, M. D.

   A man of superior attainments and culture, well fitted by study and
experience for a professional career, Charles E. Stagner is the leading
physician and surgeon of Gustine, where he has built up an extensive and
lucrative practice in this part of Merced County. He is a native son of
California, born at Wheatland, October 30, 1883, a son of A. C. and Louise
(Greitman) Stagner. There are three children in this family: Hattie, the wife of
Professor Ganthier, the principal of the Lompoc High School; Leora; and Charles
E., the subject of this review.

   Charles E. Stagner began his education in the Wheatland Grammar school; then
he entered the Marysville High school, from which he was graduated in 1903; then
for three years he attended Stanford University; and in 1912 he was graduated
from the Cooper Medical School, receiving his degree of M. D. from that
institution, after which he served an interneship in the Sacramento and San
Joaquin County hospitals. In 1916 he located at Gustine, where he engaged in the
practice of his profession and succeeded in building up a good practice and in
endearing himself to the people of the community. In 1919, Dr. Stagner founded
the hospital at Los Banos, taking as his partner in the enterprise, Dr. Bush;
this hospital will accommodate about twelve patients; and as the demand
increases, no doubt the hospital will be enlarged to meet the growing population
of this section. Dr. Stagner served as health officer for Gustine and also
deputy county health officer of Merced County. He is now Medical Superintendent
to the San Joaquin County hospital, where he is now living in French Camp.

   At Modesto, Cal., July 18, 1916, Dr. Stagner was united in marriage with Miss
Lucy Schit, born at Harrison, Nebr., daughter of Charles Edward and Mary
(Schyler) Schit. Her father was a farmer by occupation and came with his family
to California in 1901, locating in the Bowles district of Fresno County, where
he spent the balance of his life, passing away at the age of fifty-two years;
his wife still makes her home in that section. Dr. and Mrs. Stagner are the
parents of one son, Alan Charles. Dr. Stagner, in partnership with W. H.
Gilbert, is the owner of fifty acres at Wheatland, ten acres of which is in
bearing peaches and walnuts; and the balance has been set to young trees. This
ranch is irrigated by a private pumping plant. Dr. Stagner is a Democrat in
politics, and fraternally, belongs to the Odd Fellows Lodge of Gustine and the
Elks of Merced.
