CARL A. HEISE, M.D.

One of the youngest physicians of Missouri Valley, Iowa, is Dr. Carl A. HEISE, who has been practicing his profession in this city since the fall of 1909. He is a young man of excellent training, a graduate of one of the best medical schools in the United States, which he supplemented by valuable experience in some of the leading hospitals in the country. Since coming to Missouri Valley he has established a private hospital, where he handles his most difficult cases. He is rapidly building up a good practice and the success which has attended his efforts thus far indicates that he will eventually become one of the leading physicians of the county.

Dr. Carl A. HEISE, the son of William and Augusta (FALKENBERG) HEISE, was born on August 6, 1880, at Alma, Wisconsin. His parents, both of whom were born in Germany, came to America when young and his father is still living at Alma, Wisconsin, where he is engaged in the grain and machinery business. Four children were born to William HEISE and wife, W. S. C., a practicing physician at Winona, Minnesota; H. E., who is in the grain and machinery business with his father at Alma, Wisconsin; Emma, the wife of Herman Peterson, Wheelock, North Dakota, and Dr. Carl A., of Missouri Valley.

Doctor HEISE received his elementary education in the public schools of Alma, Wisconsin, and later became a student at Winona, Minnesota. He then entered the University of Chicago and later became a student in the Rush medical school, of the same city. He graduated in the class of 1906, and at once became an interne in the Augustinian hospital in Chicago. He later spent two years and a half in the Toledo hospital as first assistant to Dr. John S. Pyle, one of the noted surgeons of Toledo. In the fall of 1909 Dr. Carl HEISE came to Missouri Valley, where he succeeded Dr. C. W. Boughton. Doctor HEISE is specializing in surgery and has already demonstrated that he has the technical skill necessary for the successful surgeon.

Doctor HEISE was married August 12, 1909, to Sarah M. SHARP, of Bay City, Michigan, a daughter of Philip Sharp and wife. To this union three children have been born, Carl A., Jr., Ellen A. and an infant.

Doctor HEISE is a member of the Harrison County (Iowa) State and American Medical Societies, as well as a member of the Northwestern Railway Surgeons' Association of Iowa. He has been appointed as civil service examiner and examines all applicants desiring to enter the civil service of the government. Since coming to Missouri Valley he has established a hospital of eight beds, which has proved a very successful institution under his able management.
