The distinction of being the only woman physician in Oklahoma, and probably in the entire Southwest, to be appointed county commissioner of health, is held by Dr. Catherine Threlkeld, who holds this preferment in Pontotoc County and who is engaged in the successful practice of her profession at Ada, the county seat.
On the 2d of June, 1913, she was graduated in the American Medical College, in the City of St. Louis, Missouri, this being the medical department of the National University of Arts and Sciences, from which splendid institution she thus received her coveted degree of Doctor of Medicine, her active practice as a physician and surgeon having been initiated at Ada in January, 1914.
