MOSES SHAW THOMAS, M. D., son of Jacob R. Thomas and Ann (Shaw) Thomas. He was born in Baltimore MD, January 3 1830. His father died when he was only six years of age, and he was placed in the care of relatives then living in VA, where he was partially educated, subsequently completing a course of medical study at the University of MD at Baltimore. After graduating, he commenced the practice of his chosen profession in the Shennandoah Valley VA, where he remained two years. In 1856 he came to KS and settled in Leavenworth, which place has since been his home. During the intervening years he has evinced such ability as to entitle him to rank with the most skillful physicians and surgeons in the West.
His professional life in Leavenworth was interrupted by the Rebellion. At its beginning, having been educated in the South, and his sympathies and convictions being with the Confederacy in the pending struggle, he left the position of surgeon at Fort Leavenworth, went to Richmond VA, and entered the Confederate Army as a surgeon, serving in such capacity in the Army of Northern Virginia until the close of the war.
The war being over, he returned to Leavenworth, and resumed the practice of medicine and surgery, which he has continued with marked success up to the present time. Dr. Thomas became a Catholic at the age of eighteen years, and has since remained unswerving in the faith he then embraced.
He was married at Leavenworth, April 22 1868 to Miss Alice A. Clark, daughter of Malcolm Clark. She is of Scotch descent, and was educated at the academy of the Convent of the Sisters of the Sacred Heart, at St. Joseph MO. They have four children - Francis Meige, Moses Shaw, Theodore Clark and Genevieve Seraphine.
