Dr. F. H. Hostetler, who has since 1905 engaged in the practice of veterinary surgery at Nampa, was born in Elkhart county, Indiana, March 22, 1874, and when ten years of age accompanied his parents on their removal to McPherson county, Kansas, where he acquired his education together with considerable experience at farming. When nineteen years of age he entered upon a six years' experience as a school teacher and then took up the study of veterinary surgery. In 1905 he came to Nampa, Idaho, and at once entered upon the practice of his profession, which has steadily increased until it today extends throughout the entire Boise valley, his work recommending him wherever and whenever he has had an opportunity to show results. He is a specialist in parturient paresis, or what is commonly known as milk fever in cows, which disease is fatal if not treated at once. Dr. Hostetler has saved over ninety-five per cent of cases of this kind under the treatment which he pursues. His operating tables, rooms and surgical instruments are the best that can be procured and he is in a position to take care of his patronage as well as it could be cared for in the larger cities.

Dr. Hostetler's interest in the science of veterinary surgery was awakened at a very early age, for his father, Abraham Hostetler, was a veterinarian of Indiana and Kansas, practicing successfully for thirty years. He passed away in the latter state in 1905 and is still survived by his widow, who yet makes her home in Kansas.

On the 7th of April, 1898, Dr. Hostetler was married in Missouri to Miss Dessie Yoder, a native of Michigan, and they have become parents of five children: Virtie D., who was graduated from the Nampa high school in 1918 and became a teacher; Leo P., who completed a high school course in 1919; Orval H., attending high school; and Anna Velma and Adelia Lillian, who are also in school.

Dr. Hostetler and his family not only occupy a pleasant home in Nampa but he also owns a good ranch near the city. He is a member of the city council and is regarded as one of the substantial residents of Nampa and a prominent representative of its professional interests.

Son of Abraham and Drusilla Hostetler. Brother of Chancy, Herman, Adelia and Alvin.

He married Dessie Yoder at Garden City, MO in 1898. Together they had 5 children. He was a retired Veterinarian.
