   William T. Logsdon, M. D., of No. 116 East Douglas avenue, Wichita, Kan., is
a native of Indiana, having been born at Eureka, that state, on August 9, 1858.
His parents were Samuel and Cyrene (Osborn) Logsdon, natives of Kentucky and
Indiana, respectively. The father was a land owner and merchant and died in
1877, at the age of fifty-five. His widow died in 1907 at the age of eighty-six.
The doctor's early education was acquired at the public and high schools of his
native town, after leaving which he obtained employment as a drug clerk and was
engaged in mercantile pursuits for the next ten years, when he decided upon a
professional career and took up the study of medicine. He received his medical
education at the University of Louisville, Ky., from which he was graduated in
the class of 1889. Later on he took a four years' course at the Chicago
Homeopathic College, from which he graduated in the class of 1902. His medical
practice began at Eureka, Ind., continuing for thirteen years and up to the time
that he began his additional course of training at Chicago. In 1902 the doctor
decided to move to Wichita, but after a stay of two and a half months he
returned to Indiana and located for a time at Rockport, where he built up a
large practice. The fascination of the Southwest and its possibilities was ever
with him, however, and in 1905 he again became a resident of Wichita and a
partner of Dr. O. J. Taylor, under the firm name of Taylor & Logsdon, which
partnership continued until 1908, when each established separate offices. Dr.
Logsdon is a member of the Kansas State Medical Society, the American Medical
Association and the Sedgwick County Medical Society. Fraternally he is a
thirty-second degree Mason and a member of the Knights of Pythias. He is also a
member of St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1879 the doctor was married
to Miss Ora E. Ireland, daughter of Dr. J. M. Ireland, of Francisco, Ind. Of
this union three children have been born, viz.: Ora, wife of W. J. Weiss, of
Wichita; Dr. Ronald O., practicing physician at Bentley, Kan., and Glenn T. Logsdon.
