DR. RODNEY WREN.

    Dr. Rodney Wren, an osteopath practicing in Trinidad, was born in Pueblo,
Colorado, on the 17th of February, 1880, a son of W. I. and Isabel J. (Davis)
Wren. The father was for many years an invalid and came to Colorado for the
benefit of his health. During his active business life he followed contracting.
It was in 1877 that his family arrived in Colorado and their home was
established in Pueblo, where the father passed away on the 10th of September,
1897. To him and his wife were born five children, three sons and two daughters,
of whom only Dr. Wren and a sister are living.

    The former was the third in order of birth. He began his education in the
public schools, passing through consecutive grades to the high school, and
evenutally he took up railroad work, in which he engaged for a year and a half.
He did this in order to earn money wherewith to pay his tuition in the
Osteopathic College at Kirksville, Missouri, which he entered in 1902 and from
which he was graduated with the class of 1905. He first practiced his profession
in Salida, Colorado, where he remained for five years, after which he went to
Los Angeles, California, for post graduate work. Upon his return he opened an
office in Trinidad in 1910 and through the intervening period has enjoyed a
large and constantly growing practice. He has been appointed a member of the
state board of examiners for doctors of osteopathy. He is thoroughly conversant
with anatomy and the component parts of the human body, recognizes the
onslaughts made upon it by disease, and by reason of his scientific knowledge
and skill has effected many cures among his patients, the number of whom is
constantly growing.

    In his political views Dr. Wren is a stalwart republican and has been a
delegate to various conventions. He has also served in public office and is now
treasurer of the city of Trinidad. Fraternally he is a third degree Mason and is
also connected with the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks at Trinidad. He is
much interested in the state and its development and his cooperation can at all
times be counted upon to further any progressive public movement. He enjoys
outdoor life, to which he turns for rest and recreation, but his chief interest
is his profession and he is putting forth every effort to advance his efficiency
therein and render his work of the greatest value to mankind.
