ISAAC M. GEORGE. M. D.
    Dr. Isaac M. George, a specialist in the treatment of diseases of the eye,
ear, nose and throat, practicing successfully in El Dorado, was born in Clark
county, Arkansas. November 3, 1860, and is a son of Daniel and Martha (Reid)
George. The parents were natives of the state of Georgia and the father was of
English descent, while the mother came of Irish ancestry. The grandfather in the
maternal line assisted in building the first railroad ever constructed in
Georgia and in this way he made the money with which he purchased his first
negro slave. He served as captain of the Home Guards during the Civil war, while
nine of his ten sons served throughout the period of hostilities between the
north and the south and six of the number laid down their lives on the battle
fields. The grandfather was also seriously wounded, but lived through the
memorable struggle. The birth of Dr. George's parents occurred on adjoining
farms, but they were not married until their removal to Arkansas. Daniel George
came to this state in young manhood, while his future wife was brought to
Arkansas by her parents when twelve years of age, the family settling in Clark
county. Mr. George departed this life soon after the close of the Civil war, his
death resulting from exposure during the service.

     Dr. George was educated in the high school at Lanius, Texas, and in 1887 he
took up the study of medicine, which he read for two years before entering
college. In 1889 he enrolled as a student in the Louisville Medical College at
Louisville. Kentucky, where he attended one course of lectures that fall and in
the following spring he pursued a course in the Kentucky School of Medicine at
Louisville. In July, 1890, he, entered upon active practice in Clark county,
Arkansas, and in December of the same year he removed to Union county with the
coming of the railroad, settling in Smackover. In 1896 he completed his medical
studies in the University of Arkansas, which conferred upon him his professional
degree that year. He continued to practice in Smackover, in Union county, until
the fall of 1899, and through a period of two and a halt years thereafter he
made frequent removals and trips for the benefit of his wife's health. In 1902
he located at Jonesboro, Louisiana, where he was in active practice for five
years, and in 1907 he came to El Dorado, where he has remained. In 1900 and
again in 1907 he took postgraduate work on the eye, ear, nose and throat in the
Chicago Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat College, and in 1914 he pursued a special
course in the same department of the Tulane University at New Orleans. For the
past twenty years he has specialized in the treatment of diseases of the eye,
ear, nose and throat, but for fifteen years of that time also conducted general
practice. During the past five years, however, he has confined his attention
solely to his specialty and is recognized as an eminent authority upon this
branch of professional activity.

    On the 15th of May, 1892, Dr. George was married to Miss Anna Norton, a
daughter of Preston Norton, a farmer of Clark county. They are consistent
members of the Methodist Episcopal church. South, and Dr. George is identified
with El Dorado Lodge, No. 13, A. F. & A. M., and El Dorado Chapter, No. 114, R.
A. M. He is interested at all times in those forces which make for the benefit
and progress of the community and for the uplift of the individual. In his
practice he has performed his work in a most conscientious way and is zealous in
promoting his knowledge, that his labors may be of the greatest possible benefit
to those who seek his aid. He keeps in touch with the latest scientific
researches and discoveries and his methods are thoroughly modern in every
particular. He is a member of the Union and the Arkansas State Medical Societies.
