        AMASA D. STOLLENWERCK, M. D. In these modern times when, like the Old 
Man of the Sea, competition rides on almost every branch of human endeavor, 
success demands a decided superiority. This is true at the village four 
corners, and it is applicable even in a much greater degree in those lines of 
highly specialized work were the best brains and the most extensive training 
are devoted to each intricate detail, striving to produce absolute efficiency 
and to secure the advantage from each new trend of circumstance. Whether in the 
professions, in productive lines, in work of a promoted of character, or in the 
great markets of the world, an individual finds equally keen strife confronting 
him, and when the fight is made with vigor, courage and discernment, when 
success is acquired half the compensation, aside from financial independence, 
is derived from the satisfaction of having been a victor in a contest worthy of 
one’s steel. In the field of medicine, with its almost daily discoveries, 
competition for supremacy is just as keen as in any other line of endeavor, and 
he who wishes to keep abreast of the profession must display constant 
application. In this connection the name of Dr. AMASA D. STOLLENWERCK is 
presented as that of an individual who is successfully meeting the competition 
existing in professional circles, being one of the well-known leaders of the m
medical fraternity at Jacksonville.
	Doctor Stollenwerck was born August 9, 1884, in Alabama, and is a son 
of CHARLES and ALINA (DORMAN) STOLLENWERCK, also natives of the Cotton State. 
CHARLES STOLLENWERCK was born February 10, 1857, and for about twenty years was 
engaged in the drug business in Alabama, but is now cashier of the First 
National Bank of Greensboro, that state. He is one of the well-known and
influential citizens of his community, and has been somewhat prominent in
public affairs, having served several terms as treasurer of Hale County,
Alabama. In politics he is a democrat. His first wife, the mother of Doctor
Stollenwerck, who was the only child of that union, died in 1891, and CHARLES
STOLLENWERCK took for his second wife Miss ANNA COBB, by whom he has one
daughter, EDITH.
	AMASA D. STOLLENWERCK received his early education in the public 
schools, following which he pursued a course at Spring Hill College, Mobile, 
from which he was graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Science. His medical 
studies were prosecuted at Tulane University, New Orleans, from which he 
received the degree of Doctor of Medicine as a member of the class of 1908. 
Doctor Stollenwerck has done postgraduate work at Willard Parker Hospital, the
Post Graduate Medical School and Hospital, and Riverside Hospital, New York
City. In 1909 he located at Jacksonville, where he has since been engaged in
the general practice of his calling. He has won universal confidence and esteem
and is enjoying a large professional business. He holds membership in the Duval
County Medical Society, the Florida State Medical Society, the Southern Medical
Association, and the American Medical Association. Politically he is a
democrat, and his religious faith is that of the Roman Catholic Church.
