CHARLES L. STODDARD, M. D., was born in Buffalo, N. Y., May 12, 1836, of 
Scotch parents. Studied medicine in Philadelphia under W. H. Hazzard, M. D., 
and B. H. Rand, M. D., Professor Chemistry in Pennsylvania College. Commencing 
in 1856, he attended lectures in the medical department of Pennsylvania 
College to March, 1860, when he received his degree of M. D. During this time 
was an attendant in various hospitals, and resident for nearly two years in 
Philadelphia Hospital. During the winter of 1859 and 1860, was Demonstrator of 
Anatomy. He studied with a view of entering the naval service as surgeon, but 
his health being injured by assiduous application would not warrant at the 
time his offering himself as candidate for admission, as vigorous physical 
health is considered of first importance in a candidate. He came to Wisconsin 
in November, 1860, and immediately engaged in an extensive practice in East 
Troy, Walworth Co. In 1872, he removed to Whitewater, Wis., where he also had 
an extensive and lucrative practice in a very short period. In 1877, seeing 
the prospects of growth and future prosperity of La Crosse, at the urgent 
solicitation of many friends was induced to engage in practice in this city, 
where he immediately became fully occupied in the practice of his profession. 
He is a very active member and writer for the State Medical Society, and has 
also been, since 1863, a member of the American Medical Association, 
representing the State Medical Society in that organization on different 
occasions.
