LOUIS ARCHIE MILNE, M.D.
Vol. 3, p. 1222

A very capable physician and surgeon at Lawton, Dr. MILNE in
addition to his private practice has for about ten years been one of
the Government physicians at the Indian Agency in Fort Sill. For the
past eight years he has practiced with success at Lawton, and is
secretary and manager of Southwestern Hospital Association of that
city and local surgeon for the Frisco Railway.

Louis Archie Milne was born at Sumner County, Kansas, August 16,
1879, a son of George W. and Margaret (ANDERSON) Milne. As the name
implies, the Milne family is of Scotch origin. Grandfather George
Milne left Scotland and located in New York City a short time before
the Civil war. He was a contractor and builder, moved out to Iowa,
and during the war served as a lieutenant with an Iowa regiment. A
short time after the war closed he took up a claim near Kansas City,
lived there as an early settler and farmer until his death in 1879.
The maternal grandfather was Archie R Anderson, also from Scotland,
in early life a sailor, who finally settled on a farm near
Monticello, Iowa, and served from that state during the war in a
Union regiment. He died in advanced years of Wellington, Kansas in
1914. George W. Milne was born near Monticello, Iowa, in 1859, and
now lives at Verden, Oklahoma. Abut the time he reached his majority
he went to Sumner County, Kansas, in 1879, lived there until 1901,
and has since been engaged in the real estate loan and general land
business at Verden, Oklahoma is an active member of the Presbyterian
Church. By his marriage to Margaret Anderson, who was born in Iowa in
1861 and died at Wellington, Kansas, in 1900, the following children
were born: Dr. Louis Archie; Delmer, who died at Wichita, Kansas, at
the age of twenty-three; William F., who is a merchant at Anadarko,
Oklahoma; Blanche, wife of Joe SWABA, a cattleman at Pocasset,
Oklahoma; and Rozella, wife of Mr. RODY, a merchant at Bells, Texas.

Doctor Milne was educated in the public schools of Sumner County,
Kansas, where he had the usual training of a farmer boy. He graduated
from a high school there in 1900, and in 1904 graduated M. D. From
the medical department of the University of Kansas. The first year of
practice was spent in Anadarko, Oklahoma, and in 1905 he accepted the
post as Government physician for the Indians at Fort Sill in Comanche
County. He had his residence at Fort Sill until 1908, since which
year he has kept his home at Lawton, where he has a general medical
and surgical practice, but still looks after the duties of his office
as physician to the Indians at Fort Sill. His Lawton offices are at
328 1/2 D Avenue.

Doctor Milne is independent in politics, is a member of the First
Presbyterian Church at Lawton, and takes much interest in Masonry,
being affiliated with Lawton Lodge No. 183, Ancient Free and Accepted
Masons, of which he was master in 1913, and has taken fourteen
degrees of the Scottish Rite in the Valley of Guthrie Consistory No.
1. He is also a member of Lawton Lodge No. 1056 Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks.

At Fort Sill in 1906 Doctor Milne married Miss Sue MADERA, of
Gainesville, Texas. They have one daughter, Sue Estelle, who was born
August 9, 1907, and is now a schoolgirl.
