Biography: Eugene Boise, M. D.
For forty-six years Dr. Eugene Boise has engaged in the practice of medicine and surgery at Grand Rapids, and through this period his skill and ability have been so marked as to win him recognition as one of the most careful and conscientious representatives of the profession in Kent county. There is no calling or business which imposes greater responsibility upon its followers, for life and death are in the hands of the physician, and that Dr. Boise enjoys the complete and unquestioned confidence of his large practice and has so held it during such a long period of years is a fact indicative of the standing which he enjoys in the community as well as in the ranks of his calling. Dr. Boise was born at Wellington, Lorain county, Ohio, Nov. 29, 1846. He received his early education in the public schools of his native place, and when a young man determined upon the medical profession as the calling to which he was to devote his life's activities. After some further preparation, he entered Oberlin College, which famous institution he attended from 1863 to 1867, taking a complete classical course, and then took up his medical studies in earnest in the medical department of the University of Michigan, at Ann Arbor, and was graduated with the class of 1869 and the degree of Doctor of Medicine. Still not satisfied with his training, he went to New York, where he attended the medical department of Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, completing a one-year course in 1870, and immediately thereafter began gaining his practical experience at the New York Charity Hospital, where he spent twelve months as interne. This was followed by six months of work in the same capacity and as head of the Fever Hospital, another charitable institution of New York City, but in 1871 he resumed his studies, leaving this country and going to Vienna, Austria, where he took post-graduate work in the medical department of the University of Vienna. Returning to this country in 1872, in that year Dr. Boise located at Grand Rapids, where he began practice in association with Dr. G. K. Johnson. This professional partnership proved so satisfactory and mutually agreeable that it continued to exist for a period of thirty-three years, and was then only terminated by the retirement of the elder man. Since 1905, Dr. Boise has been engaged in practice alone and the size and importance of his clientele has grown apace. He belongs to the Kent County Medical Society, the Michigan State Medical Society and the American Medical Association, and is a fellow of the Gynecological College and a member of the Gynecological Society. With his family, he attends the Park Congregational church, and among his social connections is membership in the Kent Country club. Dr. Boise is possessed of more than passing literary talent, has written a number of authoritative papers upon subjects in the line of his profession, and is advisory editor on the medical profession of Kent county as included in this work. To comment more fully upon his work seems unnecessary, for he is as well known to the people of Grand Rapids and of Kent county as any other of their prominent men, and to his profession as one of its most able exponents. A man of broad ideas, comprehensive knowledge and varied ability, he has put to good use the talents he has possessed and given to the world gifts of skill and scientific research not easily requited. Dr. Boise was married Nov. 30, 1875, to Miss Eva Lamont, daughter of Emmet Lamont, of Grand Rapids, and they have one son, Edward B., who is a successful attorney-at-law in New York City.
