Dr. James M. Barstow
Dr. James M. Barstow, 64, died of heart trouble at his home, 221 South Sixth Street, after a short indisposition. He had been a resident of this city and county for nearly a half century and had been prominently identified with the medical profession for many years.
Dr. Barstow was born in Peoria, IL, September 10, 1854. At the age of 1 year he came to Mills County with his parents. He first attended a subscription school in a slab house in Mills County, afterward the district and public schools. He also attended the Bellevue High School at Bellevue, NE, for two terms. He taught during the summers and attended school during the winters. He also attended college at the Methodist Seminary at Glenwood.
He then taught four years and accumulated money sufficient to take his first course of lectures at the Keokuk College of Physicians and Surgeons. He continued to earn money during vacations to pay for his tuition and expenses at the college, from which he graduated in March 1880. After his graduation he immediately began the practice of medicine at Council Bluffs. Being ambitious he took the first opportunity of going to Bellevue Medical College, New York City, where he had the advantage of instruction, both theorectical and practical, of the most eminent physicians and surgeons of the day, and also the advantages of hospital practice. He graduated from this institution in March 1884. He then resumed his practice at Council Bluffs. Dr. Barstow has been a professor in Creighton Medical College for twenty years, was medical member of the insanity commission of Pottawattamie County, member of the American Medical Association, the State Medical Society, Medical Society of the Missouri Valley and Council Bluffs Medical Society.
He is survived by a wife; three sons, James M. Barstow, Jr., Richard S. Barstow and Robert W. Barstow all at home; one brother, G. E. Barstow of Council Bluffs and three sisters, Mrs. N. C. Burchard, Medford, OR; Mrs. Ed McIntire of Logan, IA, and Mrs. Fred Barton of Council Bluffs. Burial will take place in Walnut Hill Cemetery.
The son, Richard, was a member of Mobile Hospital No. 1 (Unit K) and returned with that organization about two weeks ago. Dr. Barstow's condition had been precarious for some months and it was feared he might not live to see his son return, one of his most ardent wishes in recent months. (Walnut Hill, Sec. 10, Row 19, 1854-1919)
