ROBERT HERMANN HENRY, M. D.
Vol. 3, p. 1226-1227

In point of equipment, experience, and broad ability and attainments
there is no member of the medical profession at Ardmore who enjoys
higher prestige and rank than Doctor Henry. A native of Germany, but
for more that thirty years a resident of America, a product of the
best schools in this country and abroad, he has steadily been engaged
in practice for over twenty years, chiefly in Texas and Oklahoma.

Born in Wurzen, Saxony, Germany, December 24, 1866, he is a son of
Christian Gottlob and Augusta A. (LAUSCH) HEINRICH, as the family
name was spelled in the old country. His father was born in Wurzen in
1831 and died there in 1882. The same town was his home all his life
and his active career was spent in the cigar business as owner of a
cigar factory. He was a member of the German Lutheran Church. His
mother, Augusta A. Lausch, was born in Tammenhain, Saxony, in 1845,
and is still living at Wurzen. She spent the years 1900-01 in the
United States with her son, Doctor Henry. Doctor Henry was the oldest
of four children. Augusta died at Wurzen in 1866, of diphtheria, and
the next youngest Hermann, died of the same disease at the same time.
The youngest, Oscar, died in Wurzen, in 1906.

Doctor Henry attended the public schools in Wurzen, graduated in
1878 at Doenges College, and in the winter of 1883 came to America.
For a time he followed the drug business in the State of Texas and
then entered the University of Nashville, Tennessee, where after a
full course he was graduated M. D. with the class of 1896. In the
meantime as early as 1892 he had secured a license for practice from
the State Board of Examiners of Texas and was a physician in Quanah,
that state, from 1892 to 1896. After his graduation at Nashville he
spent a year in Europe, taking a general course in Leipsic. From 1896
to 1903 he was in practice at Cisco, Texas, and in the latter year
moved to Ardmore, where he has since conducted a large general
medical and surgical practice. His offices are at 17 1/2 North
Washington Street. Doctor Henry has always been keenly alert in
professional matters and has taken advantage of every opportunity to
improve his own knowledge and skill. In 1900 he took post-graduate
studies in the Chicago Policlinic, in 1901 was in the Eye and Ear
Infirmary at New York City, and again in the Chicago Policlinic in
1910, and has made not infrequent sojourns in the larger cities of
America. As a student and a builder of clinics and other advantages.\t

In politics he is an independent democrat. He is secretary of the
Carter County Medical Society, and a member of the State Medical
Society and the American Medical Association. For a great many years
doctor Henry has been very much interested in the work of the Masonic
fraternity, and has enjoyed many of the distinctions in the various
branches of the order. In 1888 he took his first degrees in Lodge No.
666, A. F. & A. M., in Margaret, Texas. He is a past master of
Ardmore Lodge No. 31, A. F. & A. M.; and took his Royal Arch work in
Quanah Chapter No. 195, R. A. M., at Quanah Texas, in 1890; is past
thrice illustrious master of Ardmore Council, R. & S. M., also past
grand master R. & S. M; is past eminent commander of Ardmore
Commandery No. 9, K. T., and also past grand commander, having
received his degrees in the commander at Ardmore in 1905; belongs to
India Temple of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine at Oklahoma City; and
is a thirty-second degree Scottish Rite with Indian Consistory No. 2
in McAlester. He is also affiliated with Ardmore Camp of the Woodmen
of the World, and is a member of the Baptist Church.

March 27, 1890, at Quanah, Texas, Doctor Henry married Miss Lou
INGRAM. Her father was W. I. Ingram, a farmer of Green county,
Kentucky. Doctor Henry and wife have two children: Rowena A., who in
June, 1915 married Charles R. MCCLAIN, and they live with Doctor
Henry and wife, Mr. McClain having charge of the Carter County
Abstract Company; Ingram, now a sophomore in the Ardmore High School.
