MANOR-ISMS
By ETHELYN EVANS
Dirty and worn suede shoes
can be brushed with a metal
brush and steamed with
steam iron to raise the nap,
Among the greatly diversified
professions represented in the
Manor membership is the med
ical profession. I shall mention
two in that category this week,
by way of a change of pace
from writing about our many
educators, clergymen and mis
sionariesalthough those three
fields are by no means exhaust
ed. And the first who comes to
mind, naturally, is Dr. W. W. P.
Holt from Medford. This col
umn is written more, perhaps,
for the information of his fellow
members, as Dr. Holt is well
and widely known and belongs
to the State of Oregon and this
valley, as well as to the Manor.
Son of a Presbyterian mis
sionary (he was born in China),
Dr. Holt was graduated from
the University of Oregon Med
ical School in 1905 and practiced
medicine in the Rogue River
valley for more than 50 years.
He was a general practitioner in
the early days of the horse and
saddle era of transportation
over practically non-existent
roads. Many long-time valley
residents will recall his wry
sense of humor in telling of one
trip of more than 20 hours that
completely wore out four horses
and one doctor just about. We
have no follow-up on the recov
ery of the horses, but we do
know that the Doctor bounced
back and for many many years
thereafter answered every call
for help from anyone, at any
time and in any place he could
possibly reach. With no direct
means of communication, such
ingenious methods of signaling
for his help as bedsheets hang
ing from porches and tin cans
tied across the trails he traveled
were devised. At times he per
formed operations on kitchen
tables, with husband or wife
giving the anaesthetic and other
people holding uu lamDS for
light.
Dr. Holt is a charter mem
ber of both the Southern Ore
gon and Jackson County Med
ical Societies; he also served as
first Jackson County physician
and was active in the organiza
tion of county health services.
in recognition and gratitude, he
was chosen "Doctor of the
Year" in 1959.
He is also a long-time mem
ber of the Medford Rotary
Club. Each Tuesday he is off.
jubilantly, with his Manor
Rotary friends to attend the
luncheon at the Country Club.
He never misses a week.
Dr. Holt is the personification
of friendly, courteous kindliness
with never a word of complaint;
and the Manor is happy to have
had both him and the late Mrs.
Holt with us for their 60th wed
ding anniversary. We are glad,
indeed, to have him with us
now, receiving the best of care
and solicitous attention from
our staff and his friends and a
devoted daughter Helen Holt
Wilson who spends part of
each day here with him.
We think it quite unusual and
a source of pride for the Manor
to have two retired Oregon
physicians, both of whom were
early day general practitioners
a wonderful but rapidly disap
pearing species of the medical
profession. This is understand
ably so, since the phenomenal
advances in medical science is
forcing specialization and, ap
parently very soon, will force
specialization within a special
ity. The second doctor is Dr.
Bertha DeVore. And we feel it
is another distinction to have
one of the comparatively few
percentage wise woman doc
tors. Dr. DeVore was really
"doing what comes naturally"
in choosing medicine as a pro
fession, since her father, other
relatives and even a number of
ancestors were physicians.
After graduation, she started
practice with her father in
Drain, Oregon, in 1908, and very
soon continued alone because
of her father's failing health.
She was another horse and sad
dle doctor contending with the
same impassable ana impos
sible road conditions, and it was
necessary for her to travel to
patients fur many miles arouna,
since the nearest hospitals were
40 miles north or south. At
times Dr. DeVore used logging
engine and hand car rides to
reach those needing her even
resorting to "shank s mare
and trudging along on foot. She
reports that her one memorable
fright was on a very dark,
windy and rainy night when a
huge, black cow suddenly ap
peared "spank" in front of her
on the trail. Gradually it be
came possible to use a horse
and buggy and, eventually, a
car. But still those roads! When
accidents occurred, she also
performed minor surgery on
kitchen tables without electric
ity, running water or heat, and
with jittery relatives as her
only assistants.
The most remarkable feature
of these two life sketches of
two remarkable people is the
matter-of-fact, cheerful, uncom
plaining manner in which they
carried on in their dedicated
service to their fellow men and
their loyalty to their profes
sional creed. Their treatments,
of course, were as much psy
chological, mental and emo
tional as physical a form of
healing which is once again
coming into prominence.
As in the professional fields
mentioned in previous columns,
these are but two of the many
careers worthy of consideration
and admiration.
