Source: Portrait and Biographical Album, Muscatine County, Iowa, 1889, page 320
CHARLES MOORE ROBERTSON, a prominent young physician, was born in Louisa County, Iowa, on the 1st day of February, 1865, and is a son of Dr. W. S. Robertson, whose sketch appears in this work. In the month of June 1869, he came with his parents to Muscatine, where he was reared to manhood. His father was a physician, and as Charles had access to his library, he commenced reading medicine when quite young, desiring to make its practice his profession through life. His literary education was received in the High Schools of Muscatine, from which he was graduated in the class of '82, and subsequently attending the literary department of the State University at Iowa City, he was graduated in January, 1885. He then attended the medical department of the same institution, receiving his degree in March, 1888, since which time he has been in practice at Chicago, Ill. He is a member of the County Medical Society and also of the State Medical Society, and is known as a man of sterling integrity, decided character, and untiring energy, and has every promise of a prosperous and honorable career. It will be generally found that similar cases lead to like results in whatever branch of human activity a man's genious and enterprise may be employed.

The essentials of success are courage, patience and perseverance. Success brings honor in every honest occupation, and when achieved by a man as young as Dr. Robertson, the fact deserves especial mention, and may well be cited as an example worthy to be followed by anyone.
