UNA W. CARY
UNA W. CARY.--Una W. Cary, daughter of J. S. Cary and Mary K. Waggoner, was born in McGregor, Texas, and early in life came to California. After attending the public schools of Texas and California, she took up professional nursing, which work she followed for several years. Being of an ambitious nature she decided to become an osteopathic physician and in 1912 was graduated from the Los Angeles College of Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons. Since her graduation from that institution she has practiced her profession in Sacramento. From time to time she has taken special courses, interesting herself especially in women's and children's diseases.
Not only has Dr. Cary been interested in her chosen field, but she has found time to be forcefully identified with the upbuilding of Sacramento, helping to organize the Business and Professional Women's Club and acting as its first president; she also worked with the Y. W. C. A., serving as a board member. She is a member of the California State Osteopathic Association, and has served on a number of its boards. Fraternally, she belongs to the Eastern Star, and is also a member of the Soroptomists Club. Dr. Cary is a very popular woman, and is always welcome in business, religious and fraternal circles.
