     RALPH W. GARHART, whose labors as a serologist and bacteriologist have 
gained for him an enviable reputation in the medical circles of Portland, is a 
man of thorough education and wide practical experience and in his especial 
field of practice has no superior in the Columbia River valley. Born in 
Columbus, Ohio, in 1887, he received his early education in the public and 
high schools of that city and later attended medical college in Toledo, Ohio, 
after which he went to Germany, where he spent two and a half years in 
laboratory work. On his return to this country he served in the Rhode Island 
General Hospital, the Muhlenburg Hospital in New Jersey and the Wilhard Park 
Laboratory in New York. In 1919 he went to Seattle, Washington, where he was 
assistant pathologist to his brother until 1925, when he came to Portland and 
was for awhile associated with Dr. Sternberg. In that year he established his 
present laboratory, and also accepted charge of the city board of health 
laboratory. He has been eminently successful in his laboratory work, his 
practice having grown to an extent that has caused him to recently establish 
another laboratory in East Portland. He covers every phase of laboratory work, 
including Wasserman serology, and has been of invaluable aid to the medical 
practitioners of this city and vicinity, who hold him in high esteem for his 
ability and attainments.

     In 1918 Mr. Garhart was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Monteith, 
who was born in Newark, New Jersey, acquired a good education and is a 
graduate nurse. To them have been born two children, Jean Neville, aged nine 
years, and Ralph W., Jr., aged six years. Mr. Garhart is a member of the 
Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, the Multnomah Anglers Club, the American 
Bacteriological Society and the American Association for the Advancement of 
Science. Be is a man of strong personality and agreeable manner, is true to 
his ideals, and throughout the range of his acquaintance commands the sincere 
respect of his associates and those who know of his accomplishments.
