"CHARLES HENRY WILSON, M. D.—Holding a prominent position in the ranks of the medical profession, and also a sportsman of international note, Dr. Charles Henry Wilson, of Pittsburgh, Pa., is a figure of general interest.

Dr. Wilson was bor n in New Brighton, Pa., Dec. 11, 1871, a son of Joseph F. and Rebecca J. (Fetter) Wilson. Joseph F. Wilson, who was a plasterer by trade, is now deceased, but his wife is a resident of New Brighton.

Receiving his early education in the public schools of New Brighton, Charles H. Wilson took a preparatory course at Geneva College, following this with a business course in Beaver Valley Business College. His choice of a career being the medical profession, he entered the Western Pennsylvania Medical College, now the University of Pittsburgh, from which he was graduated in 1906 with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. During the latter part of his education he taught penmanship and did various kinds of work, as his time would permit, to keep in funds for the completion of his course. After his graduation Dr. Wilson was connected with the South Side Hospital, in the capacity of interne, and began the general practice of medicine, Dec. 11, 1906. He was successful from the beginning, and has built up a very large and lucrative practice. He is furthermore surgeon for the Baltimore & Ohio Rail

road. In political matters, Dr. Wilson takes only the interest of the progressive and broad-minded citizen, and supports the Republican party. He is a member of the Phi Rho Sigma fraternity. His church membership is with the Lutheran denomination.

Dr. Wilson's principal interest, outside the duties of his profession, is in sport. He is prominent in hunting circles, and is an expert pistol shot. He goes big game hunting every year in Canada, and his residence and offices are full of trophies of the chase, deer and moose heads and skins being the most numerous. In 101.2 Dr. Wilson won the United States pistol championship, and in 1913 established the indoor pistol shooting record of the world. He scored four hundred and eighty-eight out of a possible five hundred in this last contest . the highest score ever made. A feature of this victory, which is perhaps unique, is the fact that the pistol ht used was one made entirely by himself. Dr. Wilson takes great pride in the exploit of his elder son, Donald A., now twelve years of age, who in 1920 shot and killed a fine moose in Canada. The head was presented to the Young Men's Christian Association of New Brighton, Pa., and accepted by the Association.

On Dec. 11, 1906, Dr. Wilson married Pearl King, daughter of H. A. King, a prominent merchant of Armstrong county, Pa. Dr. and Mrs. Wilson have two sons: Donald Alvin and Loyal King."
