     DR. CARL THORBURN ROSS, M. D. commands a high place in the esteem of the 
people of Portland, where he has been successfully engaged in the practice of 
medicine for fourteen years, and is numbered among the public-spirited and 
dependable citizens of the community. He was born at St. Albans, New York, in 
November, 1883, and is a son of William and Agnes (Jerusha) Ross, who were 
married in 1875. In 1887 the family went to California, and the mother died in 
Astoria, Oregon, where the family had later established their residence. The 
father is living at the age of eighty years, hale and hearty.

     Carl T. Ross received his early education in the public schools of 
Astoria, after which he entered Leland Stanford University, at Palo Alto, 
California, from which he was graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. 
He then matriculated in the medical school of Columbia University, New York 
city, and won his professional degree in 1910. He spent three years as interne 
in the New York Hospital, where he gained much valuable experience, and in 
1914 he came to Portland and entered upon the practice of his profession. He 
is closely devoted to his life work, in which he has met with very gratifying 
success, and he has a nicely furnished and well equipped office in the Stevens 
building.

     In 1913, at Westport, New York, Dr. Ross was united in marriage to Miss 
Mildred M. Still, who was a native of that place, and they are the parents of 
two children, Jean Clark, now twelve years of age, and Clark Edward, six years 
of age. Mrs. Ross is a trained nurse, being a graduate of Bellevue Hospital, 
New York city. The Doctor gives his political support to the republican party 
and is a member of the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons. He belongs to the 
Portland Medical Society, the Multnomah County Medical Society, the Oregon 
State Medical Society and the American Medical Association. Of genial and 
kindly manner, he possesses the happy faculty of inspiring confidence on the 
part of his patients and all who have come in contact with him accord him 
their confidence and respect.
