Holderith, Charles Peter, M. D., was born in New Orleans, La., April 
15, 1882; son of Fred Albert and Eunice (Doyle) Holderith, both of whom 
were born in New Orleans, the father in 1840.  He also died in the same 
city, where the mother is still a resident.  Both the paternal and 
maternal grandparents were natives of the birthplace of the subject of 
this sketch, and their lives closed in the same place.  Fred Albert 
Holderith was engaged in business in the city of New Orleans throughout 
all of his active life.  Charles Peter Holderith was educated in the 
public schools of New Orleans, graduating from the Boys' Central high 
school in 1900.  In the same year he entered the medical department of 
Tulane university, and after having served two years as interne in the 
New Orleans Charity hospital, graduated with the degree of M. D. in 
1906. Immediately following his graduation, he entered upon the 
practice of medicine, specializing in surgery and gynecology, and his 
profession has engaged his undivided attention from the beginning.  
From 1906 to 1913, he was instructor in the polyclinic post-graduate 
course of the medical department of Tulane university.  He was also 
instructor in anatomy at the New Orleans college of dentistry until 
that institution was absorbed by Tulane university.  Dr. Holderith is a 
member of the Orleans parish and the Louisiana State medical societies; 
also, a member of the Charity Hospital Alumni, Chess, Checkers and 
Whist club, Southern Yacht club, D. O. A. (Greek fraternity), and the
