WALCOTT, H. GILMER, MD
Among the medical men of Dallas County whose skill and accomplishments have raised them to high place in their profession and served to contribute materially to the prestige of this section in scientific advancement, H. Gilmer Walcott, M. D., has won a recognized position. A native son of Texas, and a descendant of old families whose members have distinguished themselves in various walks of life, he has proven himself a worthy representative of the name and today is known as one of the leading specialists in diseases of the stomach and intestines in the Southwest. Dr. Walcott was born at Honey Grove, Fannin County, Texas, in 1878, and is a son of Benjamin O. and Mattie (Wilson) Walcott, natives of Honey Grove, where the father was for many years engaged in business, and, while now retired from active pursuits, is still vice president of the First National Bank of that place. The paternal grandfather of Dr. Walcott, Benjamin S. Walcott, was a native of New York and one of the earliest settlers of Honey Grove, where he erected the first store, in about 1848. On the maternal side, Dr. Walcott's great-grandfather was Col. George Wilson, who settled at Cedar Hill, Dallas County, Texas, during the early forties and participated in much Indian fighting in the early days. His name was prominently connected with the history of Northern Texas for many years. One of his sons, Tom Wilson, was an inventor of some prominence, and while a soldier in the Confederate service during the War between the States, built the first American submarine vessel, at Mobile. This boat was sunk in the Gulf, and another was commenced, and when Mobile was captured by the Union forces the boat was hauled overland to Charleston, and there completed. Dr. Walcott's mother belonged to the well known George family, also pioneers of Texas, on the maternal side.
After securing his preliminary training in Staunton (Virginia) Military Academy, H. Gilmer Walcott entered Austin College, Sherman, Texas, and subsequently took a course at Holbrook College, Knoxville, Tennessee. He entered upon his medical studies at Baltimore Medical College, Baltimore, Maryland, where he was graduated in 1901. For one year he was an intern in the Maryland General Hospital, and for a like period was associate professor of Physiological Chemistry at Baltimore Medical College. Succeeding this, for seven months he was assistant to Dr. Fenton B. Turck, the distinguished specialist in diseases of the stomach and intestines at the Post-Graduate Hospital, Chicago. Dr. Walcott located in the practice of his profession in Dallas in 1903, and since that time has specialized in diseases of the stomach and intestines, gaining an eminent place in this department of medicine. He is an active member of the County and State Medical Societies and of the American Medical Association, and is professor of Diseases of the Stomach and Intestines in the medical department of the Southern Methodist University, formerly Southwestern University Medical College, of Dallas. With his family, he attends the First Presbyterian church of Dallas. He is a member of Dallas Lodge No. 760, A. F. & A. M., the Knights of Pythias, the Modern Order of Praetorians, the Dallas Club, Dallas Golf and Country Club and the Chamber of Commerce.
On October 18, 1895, Dr. Walcott was united in marriage with Miss Wayne Howeth, daughter of Robert B. Howeth, of Gainesville, Texas, and to this union there has been born one daughter: Martha Walcott. The family home is located at No. 3308 Oak Lawn avenue, Dallas. Dr. Walcott has taken a decided and active interest in all that has affected the welfare of his adopted city, and may be counted upon to support progressive movements. Alert to all the changes and advancement of his profession, he occupies an enviable position among medical men of Texas, while his personality is such that he has gained a wide circle of friends both in and outside of the profession.
