CHARLES H. FREEMAN, M.D.  


	One of the outstanding members of the medical profession in Moose
Jaw is Dr. Charles H. Freeman, who has been practicing here as a spe-
cialist in eye, ear, nose and throat disorders for about sixteen years. The
son of Ira and Mary (Harlow) Freeman, he was born in Nova Scotia
in 1876, and there spent the first years of his life. His father and mother
are natives of that province, where they have always lived and still make
their home.  Ira Freeman has celebrated his ninety-third birthday an-
niversary, while his wife is eighty-eight. Mr. Freeman is a communi-
cant of the Christian church, a Mason and a stanch Conservative and
has also been a justice of the peace. He is a lumberman by occupation
and has been connected with that industry all of his life. Mrs. Freeman
has been a lifelong member of the Ohristian church.  This venerable
couple are the parents of five children, of whom Dr. Freeman is the fourth
in order of birth.
	Charles H. Freeman is a graduate of Acadia University at Wolfville,
Nova Scotia, which granted him the B. A. degree in 1896, and following
the completion of his general college course he went to McGill University,
which is closely associated with Acadia University, to take his medical
work. Four years later he obtained his Doctor of Medicine degree from
McGill and returned to Nova Scotia to enter into the practice of his pro-
fession. Locating at Londonderry, he enjoyed a lucrative general prac-
tice in that place for about six years and finally disposed of his practice
in order to pursue some special studies in the United States. In 1906
he went tQ Cambridge to enter Harvard University, where he took work
in the eye, ear, nose and throat department of the Medical School and at
the same time enjoyed the advantages of the clinics at the Massachusetts
General Hospital, Boston Eye and Ear Infirmary and the Boston City
Hospital. Later he went to New York to study in the Manhattan Eye
and Ear Hospital and the Post Graduate School of that city, spending
about a year and a half in the United States altogether.
	Dr. Freeman located in Moose Jaw at the end of this period of grad-
uate study and since opening an office here has specialized in the sub-
jects he studied in Boston and New York. He has built up an excellent
practice and has many patients who come to him from out-of-town, as
well as residents of Moose Jaw. From the foregoing sketch of his life it
may be readily seen that Dr. Freeman has had exceptional advantages
in the way of preparation for his life work and it is characteristic of
him that he has never ceased to consider himself a student of his branch
of science. He keeps in touch with much of the progress that is being
made in his field through his memberships in the Dominion and Saskat-
chewan Medical Associations and the Moose Jaw Medical Society and is
constantly reading professional journals and books that bring him the
news of other men's accomplishments in the work of conserving human
health and life.
	In 1918 Dr. Freeman and Miss Edith Campbell were united in mar-
riage.  Mrs. Freeman is the daughter of James Campbell, one of the
pioneer farmers of the Moose Jaw district, and she was born in this city.
Two children have been born to Dr. and Mrs. Freeman: Mary and Camp-
bell. The Doctor adheres to the faith of the Anglican church, in which
he was reared, while his wife is a member of the Presbyterian church.
Dr. Freeman is a York Rite Mason, a Shriner and a prominent member
of the local Kiwanis Club. Most of his time and energy is devoted to his
profession, but he finds that a liberal amount of recreation and exercise
is necessary if he is to keep fit and able to carry on the exacting work
that is his. Thus he plays a great deal of tennis in the summer and in
the winter enjoys the invigorating Scotch sport of curling.
