The Times Democrat of Sunday last prints the following, and gives an 
excellent likeness of our young citizen, Dr. Carstens: - W. F. Carstens was 
born at Shreveport, La., Oct. 16, 1875. He is the eldest son of E. J. 
Carstens, a prominent merchant of New Iberia, La., where his family now 
reside. He is a graduate of the New Iberia High School, class of '92. After 
his scholastic training he entered his father's employ, but abandoned 
commercial life three years later to study stenography. In 1895 he graduated 
from the Fasnacht Graded Institute of New Iberia, and a few months later 
entered the law firm of Weeks & Weeks of that place. He had always desired 
to study medicine, and in 1896 his hopes were realized by being enrolled as 
a student in the medical department of Tulane University. During the past 
four years he has attended Tulane regularly, and was elected treasurer of 
the student body for the session of 1898-99.
