JAMES B. GILBERT, M.D.
Vol. 3, p. 1006 
That comparative youth causes no handicap in achieving prestige and success in his exacting profession has been significantly shown in the professional career of this representative physician and surgeon of the younger generation in the City of Tulsa. Careful and thorough preparation, continued study and research, unflagging application and valuable clinical experience have combined to fortify Doctor Gilbert most admirably for the work of his chosen calling, and none can be more appreciative of its dignity and responsibility, so that his advancement in success and professional reputation has come as a natural sequence of his well directed endeavors. 
Doctor GILBERT was born in the City of Meridian, Mississippi, on the 29th of November, 1888, and in the same fine old southern commonwealth were born his parents, Albert P. and Mary (DANIELS) Gilbert, the former of whom died in 1894, at the age of fifty-four years, and the latter of whom still maintains her home in Meridian; they became the parents of six sons and three daughters and of the number the doctor was the eighth in order of birth. Albert P. Gilbert was numbered among the representative business men of the City of Meridian, where he operated a cotton compress and was owner of a large warehouse, so that he was influential in connection with the cotton industry in his native state. 
In public and parochial schools of his native city Doctor Gilbert acquired his early education, and he was but six years of age at the time of his father's death. In preparation for his chosen profession he entered the Mississippi Medical College, in which excellent institution he was graduated as a member of the class of 1912 and from which he received the degree of Doctor of Medicine, besides becoming a member of the Mississippi State Medical Society. 
In June, 1912, the month of his graduation, Doctor Gilbert established his residence at Tulsa, Oklahoma, and here his earnest endeavors and recognized technical ability have enabled him to build up a substantial general practice, in connection with the demands of which he has served also as city physician since 1914, his re-appointment to this position having taken place in May, 1915. The Doctor is in no sense a practical politician, but he has never found reason to deflect his course from the line of close allegiance to the cause of the democratic party, in the faith of which he was reared. He holds membership in the American Medical Association, the Oklahoma State Medical Association, and the Tulsa County Medical Society. 
On the 29th of November, 1914, was solemnized the marriage of Doctor Gilbert to Miss Edna WILSON, who was born in Pennsylvania, and they are popular factors in the social activities of their home city.
