  DR. BLAKE E. GAMBLE, a young and successful practitioner of medicine of
  Forksville, Sullivan County, Pa., is associated with Dr. F. M. Gross, a
  well-known physician of that community, and they have a large and lucrative
  practice, which extends throughout Elkland, Fox and Forks townships. He is a son
  of Dr. Emanuel and Annie (Blake) Gamble, and was born in Bradford County, Pa.,
  November 3, 1869.
  
    Dr. Emanuel Gamble, the father of our subject, was born at Jersey Shore, Pa.,
  and when young studied medicine and was graduated from the Eclectic-College of
  Medicine at Cincinnati, Ohio. He then moved to Bradford County, Pa., where he
  engaged in the practice of his profession with much success for a period of
  twenty years, after which he returned to Cincinnati. Finally he entered upon
  practice in Waverly, N. Y., and continued until his demise, at the age of
  fifty-three years. He married Annie Blake of Franklin, Bradford County, Pa., and
  they became the parents of three children. Mrs. Gamble passed away at the age of
  twenty-five years.
  
    Dr. Blake E. Gamble obtained his intellectual training in the public schools,
  after which he studied medicine with his uncle, Dr. Thomas Gamble of East Troy,
  entering upon his study with a vim and determination which was not to be denied.
  He then entered the Eclectic College of Medicine of Cincinnati, Ohio, and was
  graduated in 1891, having thoroughly mastered his profession, and he immediately
  thereafter located at Forksville, Sullivan County, Pa., principally to regain
  his health, which had become quite feeble, owing to overstudy. He practiced to
  some extent for the following two years, and then returned to Cincinnati to take
  a special course in biochemistry and electro-physics. In 1894 he again moved to
  Forksville, where he soon established a good practice, and in 1897 he formed a
  partnership with Dr. Gross, with whom he has since been associated. They have a
  large village and country practice, which extends throughout the township. Our
  subject is a man of excellent character, is popular and stands high in the
  confidence of his fellow-citizens.
  
    Dr. Gamble was joined in Hymen's bonds with Blanche Collins, a daughter of A.
  A. Collins of Forksville, and was called upon to mourn her death in 1897, at the
  age of twenty years. Socially Dr. Gamble is a member of the Masonic fraternity
  of Troy, Pa., and of the Patriotic Order Sons of America of Forksville.
