MAJOR GATES RETURNS
After an absence of sixteen months, Dr. Eugene Gates has returned from
overseas where he was engaged as surgeon in the hospitals. He reached
Boston June 9th and after a visit with his family and relatives in Iowa
arrived here Monday with Mrs. Gates and daughters, Frances and Doris to
again take up their residence here. Dr. Gates will resume his practice here.
For ten months he had charge of a ward in American R.H. Military
Hospital No. 1. Among the pleasant experiences he enjoyed was that of
showing President Wilson around the hospital. He was also surgeon for
the 21st Regiment of Engineers for a time and in Camp Hospital 52. The
doctor has very little to say about his work in surgery over there which
however is known to have been of extraordinary merit.
