CHARLES H. FREEMAN
A man enjoying the esteem of his
fellow citizens and worthily taking a prominent position in his profession, is the subject of the present review, Charles H.
Freeman, M.D., a physician residing in Angel’s Camp, Calaveras County,
California. He is a native son of
California, born in Oakland, April 30, 1870, a son of W. A. Freeman, a resident
of Auburn, Placer County, the builder and proprietor of the Freeman Hotel, a
well known hostelry of that locality, who is also an experienced mining man and
a responsible citizen of Auburn. Another
page of the history gives a record of W. A. Freeman.
Dr. Freeman received his education
in the University of California, graduating in the class of 1893, practicing
for a year in the hospitals of San Francisco and the county, locating a year in
St. Luke’s Hospital and professionally visiting the city receiving
hospital. These exceptional advantages
have given Dr. Freeman experience that is most valuable and made him a welcome
citizen of Angel’s Camp when he located there in 1896. By courtesy and faithfulness to duty as well
as by medical skill, he has built up a lucrative practice, and he is already
looked upon by many residents of the town as not only a physician but also as a
wise friend and adviser.
Dr. Freeman was united in marriage
to Miss Lilian McGarrey, of
Angel’s Camp, June 7, 1897, and on January 18, 1898, a son was born to them,
named Leslie, who died November 15, 1898; and they now have a charming little
daughter named Gertrude, who was born December 10, 1899. Mrs. Freeman was born March 23, 1873, and is
a lovely character, refined and accomplished, and both she and her husband are
deserving of the high esteem in which they are held by hosts of friends and
admirers.
Politically Dr. Freeman affiliates
with the Republican Party, giving an intelligent attention to the great issues
before the country. Socially he is
connected with the A. O. U. W., of the K. of P. and the I. O. of R. M., being
examining surgeon for all these orders.
He is a man who readily makes friends and as easily keeps them,
possessing those qualities which command the respect and affection of those
with whom he comes into contact.
