     DR. F. T. NOTZ is a well known and successful chiropractor of Portland, 
where he and his wife have been associated in practice during the past seven 
years. He was born at Colorado Springs, Colorado, in 1877, his parents being 
Louis and Elizabeth (Hannecamp) Notz, both of whom were natives of Germany. 
The father, who followed agricultural pursuits throughout his active business 
career, is still living at the advanced age of seventy-seven years, but the 
mother passed away in February, 1928. Their family numbered a son and two 
daughters, namely: F. T., of this review; Mrs. Josephine Proctor, who is a 
resident of Santa Cruz, California; and Mrs. Anna LeFevor, living in Santa Fe, 
New Mexico.

     Having determined upon a professional career, Dr. F. T. Notz attended the 
San Francisco Veterinary College during the years 1903-4-5-6 and subsequently 
prepared himself for another special field of practice as a student in the 
Pacific Chiropractic College of Portland, from which he was graduated in 1920. 
He began specializing in electric therapy work, in which he was associated 
with R. A. Phillips for one year and with Dr. Dean for three years, 
specializing in colon and rectal diseases. As above stated, he has practiced 
in partnership with his wife since 1921 and since the 1st of January, 1928, he 
has specialized in colon and rectal diseases. His high standing among his 
colleagues and contemporaries is indicated in the fact that he has been chosen 
vice president of the State Chiropractic Association and was formerly a member 
of the state examining board.

     At Colorado Springs, Colorado, in 1898, Dr. Notz was united in marriage 
to Miss Essie Henley, a native of Marshall, Missouri, and also a graduate of 
the Pacific Chiropractic College of Portland, where she completed her 
professional training in 1921. The Doctor and his wife have two daughters. 
Viola Margaret, a young woman of twenty-six, is a graduate of the Baker high 
school and also spent three years in university extension work in Portland. 
She was with the Ellison & White Chautauqua at the age of seventeen and for 
three years has studied music in New York. At the present time she is abroad 
and her studies have taken her to Italy, France, Germany and England. Frances 
Elizabeth Notz, twenty-one years old, is a graduate of the Girls' Polytechnic 
School of Portland and the Washington high school as well as of the State 
Normal School at Bellingham, Washington. She also attended the University of 
Oregon for one year and is now teaching school.  

     Dr. Notz is a worthy exemplar of the teachings and purposes of the 
Masonic fraternity, to which he belongs, and is also a member of the 
Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, the Knights of Pythias and the 
Woodmen of the World. A man of public spirit, marked professional ability, 
exemplary character and friendly disposition, Dr. Notz has earned a high place 
in the respect and confidence of the people of Portland.
