DR. CARL FREDERICK REPPUN, Physician. Medical officer in the Kolchak Army of 
Russia just at the close of the World war, president of the civil executive 
committee governing the town of Tirljan in the Ural mountains in 1917, and 
president of the Zemstov, the governing body of the town in the troublous 
times before the Bolshevik regime in 1919, and physician in charge of a large 
hospital in that region, Dr. Carl F. Reppun had an interesting career before 
coming to Hawaii in 1920.
  Born in Nice, France, March 29, 1883, Dr. Reppun is the son of Frederick 
William and Fredericka (Koene) Reppun, his father being of Swedish descent and 
his mother Dutch, but both subjects of Russia in the Baltic province of Riga, 
where the two families had lived for 200 years. Dr. Reppun attended private 
and public schools in France, Germany and Russia, and the universities of 
Moscow and Munich. In 1910 he obtained his M.D. degree from the University of 
Munich, and began his post-graduate work in Moscow and Riga hospitals.
  Dr. Reppun was also with the American Red Cross in Siberia, doing hospital 
work in Omsk and Vladivostok, during a portion of 1919 and 1920. Meeting the 
late Dr. A. F. Jackson of Honolulu in a Red Cross hospital, Dr. Reppun became 
interested in Hawaii and shortly after his arrival here established himself in 
private practise. He is a member of the American Medical Association, the 
Medical Association of Hawaii, and the Y.M.C.A. In 1912 he married Emily Jane 
Lewis of Wales, England, and they have three children, Frederick, Eric and 
Arthur Reppun.
