East has engaged in the practice of medicine in Denver, making a specialty of electro therapeutics and applied methods. He was born in Elvira, Clinton county, Iowa, December 14, 1857. His father, Thomas East, was a native of Scotland and came to America in 1857, first settling in Chicago where he purchased one hundred and sixty acres of land where now the Chamber of Commerce is situated, in the very heart of the city. He sold this property about a year later at a profit of five thousand dollars and removed to Iowa, settling in Clinton county, where he purchased a farm, and throughout his remaining days he devoted his attention to agricultural pursuits there, becoming one of the representative and well-to-do farmers of that region. In politics he was a democrat and his worth and ability led to his selection for several local offices, including that of county assessor. He remained active in political and civic affairs for many years. He came of a family noted for longevity, his father having lived to the age of one hundred and eight years, when he died as a result of a broken hip. The death of Thomas East occurred in Elvira, Iowa, when he had reached the age of ninety-seven years, nine months and twenty-seven days. His wife, who bore the maiden name of Anna Killam, was also a native of Scotland, having been born in that country just over the line from England. She came to America with her husband and to them were born three children, two sons and a daughter. The eldest was Thomas East, now a resident of Bridgeport, Washington, and John H. was the second of the family, while the daughter is Alma, who became the wife of John E. Kellogg and resides at Santa Ana, California. The wife and mother passed away in Tarkio, Missouri, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. John E. Kellogg in 1895, being at the time eighty-five years of age. Dr. East of this review pursued his early education under the direction of his mother. He afterward spent two years in school at Carthage, Illinois, and two years at Ames, Iowa, and then, entering the University of Iowa as a medical student, won his professional degree in March, 1883. His early life was spent upon the home farm, with the usual experiences that fall to the lot of a farmbred boy, his time being divided between the task of acquiring an education, the work of the fields and the pleasures of the playground. He took up the profession of teaching before reaching the age of seventeen years and after graduating from the State University he entered upon the practice of medicine at Rising City, Nebraska, where he remained until 1902, when he removed to Denver, where for the past sixteen years he has made his home. During this period he has continuously and successfully engaged in active practice, specializing in electro therapeutics. He keeps in touch with the trend of modern professional thought, research and investigation and employs the latest discoveries which he believes will prove of practical value in the treatment of disease. During the period of his residence in Nebraska he held the position of health officer for fifteen years. On September 21, 1918, Dr. East was elected vice president of The American Association for Medico-Physical Research at the La Salle Hotel in Chicago, Illinois, an on September 18th vice president of The American Association of Orificial Surgeons. In 1884, in Marshalltown, Iowa, Dr. East was united in marriage to Miss May Emerson, who was born at Stratford, Iowa, and was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Levi P. Emerson. The father was a real estate dealer, banker and broker of that locality and was of a very prominent and influential family there. To Dr. and Mrs. East were born the following named. May, born in 1885, became the wife of Harvey Hart and died in September, 1915. Ethel Maude died in infancy and was laid to rest beside her mother in Rising City, Nebraska. John H. is connected with the Chile Exploration Company, being safety engineer in charge of all explosives for that company in South America. The wife and mother passed away in Rising City, Nebraska, and on the 14th of December, 1917, Dr. East was again married. His present wife was Miss Mame Esther Sanford, before her marriage, a native of Sundance, Wyoming, her father being a well known rancher of that state. Dr. East is a prominent Mason, belonging to Arapahoe Lodge, No. 130, A.F. & A.M.; King David Chapter, R.A.M., of David City, Nebraska; Commandery, No. 25, K.T.; Rocky Mountain Consistory, S.P.R.S.; and to El Jebel Temple of the Mystic Shrine. He is also connected with the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks and with the Knights of Pythias lodge in Denver. He is well known in club circles as a member of the Denver Athletic Club, the Kiwanis Club and the Denver Civic and Commercial Association. He is likewise connected with the Manufacturers Association. His political allegiance is given to the republican party and he is well informed concerning the questions and issues of the day but has never sought or desired office. Without special advantages at the outset of his career, he has worked his way steadily upward in professional connections, while the sterling traits of his character have gained him the high regard, goodwill and confidence of all those whom he has met in social and club relations.
