     Among the medical practitioners of Portland who have received distinctive 
recognition for their learning and attainments, stands Dr. Herbert H. Foskett, 
who is regarded as an expert in that most important phase of medical practice —
diagnosis. The Doctor was born in Deadwood, South Dakota, on the 6th of 
January, 1893, and is a son of Harvey V. and Eleanor L. (Stevenson) Foskett, 
the former born in Kewanee, Illinois, January 23, 1858, and the latter in 
Connecticut. They were married in Bridgeport, Connecticut, July 20, 1891, and 
are the parents of three children, Herbert H., Harold S. and Marjorie L. His 
father is a missionary and minister of the Gospel and he and his wife came to 
Oregon in 1910, since which time he has devoted his efforts and attention to 
developing new religious fields and establishing churches.

     After completing the course of the public and high school, Herbert H. 
Foskett entered McMinnville College, which he attended until 1915, and, having 
determined to devote his life to the healing art, he then matriculated in the 
University of Oregon Medical School, from which he received the degree of 
Doctor of Medicine in 1920. He served one year as interne in Emmanuel Hospital 
and did postgraduate work at the Mayo Brother's Clinic, at Rochester, 
Minnesota, since which time he has been actively engaged in the practice of 
his profession in Portland, specializing in pathology and laboratory diagnosis.

     Dr. Foskett was united in marriage to Miss Jennie Van Engelen, who was 
born in Idaho Falls, Idaho, and is a graduate of the University of Washington. 
They have two children, Barbara Jean, who is now five and a half years, and 
Lois Mae, three years of age. The Doctor is a member of the Multnomah County 
Medical Society, the Oregon State Medical Society, the American Medical 
Association and the American Society of Clinical Pathologists. He is also a 
member of the United States Army Medical Reserve Corps. He has built up a 
large and representative practice and because of his success, his substantial 
qualities and his cordial and friendly manner has won a high place in the 
esteem of all who have come in contact with him.
