CARL A. McLAUTHLIN, M. D.

    Among the younger representatives of successful surgical practice in Denver
is numbered Dr. Carl A. McLauthlin, who was born November 5, 1888, in the city
which he still makes his home, his parents being Dr. Herbert W. and Emma L.
(Stranger) McLauthlin, both of whom were representatives of prominent old New
England families and were natives of Kingston, Massachusetts. They became
residents of Colorado in 1882 and Dr. Herbert W. McLauthlin won a place among
the prominent physicians of the city and is still in active practice, being
accorded a liberal patronage. He has figured prominently in the public life of
the community as well, serving for several terms as city physician of Denver,
while later he was elected county physician. He was also one of the organizers
of the Denver County Hospital and is yet serving as a member of its staff. He
was likewise instrumental in establishing and promoting the splendid Training
School for Nurses, which is today one of the most thorough and valuable
institutions of the kind in the west. His professional activity has been indeed
of great worth to Denver and aside from his public work he is regarded as the
loved family physician in many of Denver's best households. Actuated by a
progressive spirit, he has ever kept in touch with the trend of modern
professional thought and progress, influenced at all times by the high ideal of
making his service of the greatest possible benefit to those in need of medical
and surgical assistance. In 1901 he was called upon to mourn the loss of his
wife, who passed away in Denver. They were parents of three sons: Alden
Bradford, a well known electrician of Denver; Herbert Francis, also of this
city; and Carl A.

    The last named, the youngest of the family, attended the public and high
schools of Denver and afterward entered the University of Colorado, in which he
won the Bachelor of Arts degree upon graduation in 1911. He then continued in
the institution as a student in its medical department and won his professional
degree in 1913. Later he became associated with Dr. Herbert Work, of Pueblo,
with whom he continued in practice for a year. On the expiration of that period
he returned to Denver and became associated with Dr. F. H. McNaught, of whom he
has since been a partner, and they rank among the leading physicians and
surgeons of Denver, enjoying a large private practice and also an extensive
practice in the hospitals of the city. Dr. McLauthlin is a member of the staff
of St. Luke's Hospital, the Denver County Hospital and also attendant physician
of St. Joseph's Hospital, and he is surgeon for the Colorado & Southern Railroad
Company. He belongs to the Medical Society of the County & City of Denver, the
Colorado State Medical Society and the American Medical Association.

    On the 30th of November, 1914, Dr. McLauthlin was united in marriage to Miss
Vera G. McGahey, of Emporia, Kansas, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bruce
McGahey. They have two children: Carl Herbert, born November 10, 1915: and
Dorothy Jane, born June 12, 1917. The Doctor and his wife are well known
socially in Denver, where he has practically spent his entire life and where his
personal worth as well as his professional skill has gained him a creditable
position.
