JOSEPH CARTER HEARNE, A. M., M. D., 32.

Dr. Hearne was born near Versailles, Woodford Co., Mar. 26, 1851. He is the son of Frank P. Hearne of Hannibal, Mo., and Catherine Hieatte Hearne. His mother died while he was an infant, and he lived with his grandfather, Allen Hieatte, on the farm. In the fall of 1862 he enlisted with General Jno. H. Morgan, as a courier boy, and was with him at the battle of Perryville, Ky. His career as a Confederate soldier was of short duration, as his grandfather, on account of his extreme youth, had him return home.

Indeed it is not too much to say that he is well recognized as one of the leading, if not the leading, surgeon of Southern California. Soon after his arrival at San Diego he was appointed local surgeon to the Southern California railway, which position he still retains. He confines himself to his profession, which is very large, but, as he is recognized as one of the most prominent citizens, he is constantly being called upon to take an active part in all matters pertaining to the interest and advancement of the community in which he resides. He is a man of indomitable will and great energy, and easily attends to matters outside his profession that a man possessed of these qualities in a lesser degree would find too burdensome to undertake. The doctor is a member and lieutenant of Jno. H. Morgan Camp No. 1198, United Veterans of the Confederacy, located at
