Clyde T. Hockett, M. D., is one of the well known physicians and surgeons of Enterprise, where he has been identified with the medical fraternity for the past four years. A son of Jesse M. and Sarah (Booth) Hockett, he was born on his father's ranch in Douglas county, Oregon, on the 26th of February, 1878.

Dr. Hockett was reared at home, attending the common schools of that vicinity in the acquirement of an education until graduated from the Grants Pass high school. He then went to Ashland Normal College, but in his sophomore year the Spanish-American war broke out and in common with many of his classmates he responded to his country's call for troops.

Enlisting in Company B., Second Oregon Volunteer Infantry, he was assigned duty in the Philippines, his being the first regiment to land on the islands. He continued in the service for a little more than a year, having enlisted on May 10, 1898, and being discharged at San Francisco on the 7th of August, 1899.

In the fall of 1900, he matriculated in the medical department of Willamette University, being awarded the degree of M. D. from this institution with the class of 1904. He was an excellent student and early gave evidence of possessing more than average skill both as a diagnostician and surgeon and during his senior year he was house physician in the city hospital, the experience be there received proving of inestimable value to him later when he began practicing.

Immediately following his graduation he went to Cottage Grove, Lane county, this state, where he established an office that he successfully maintained for three years.

In July, 1907, he removed to the eastern part of the state, settling in Enterprise, and during the five years of his residence here he has succeeded in building up a large and lucrative practice. Dr. Hockett in the choice of a profession very happily decided in favor of a vocation to which he is most ably adapted by nature, possessing the pleasing personality, optimistic temperament, and acute mental faculties so essential to both physician and surgeon.

In 1903, Dr. Hockett was united in marriage to Miss Grace Suter of Salem, Oregon, a daughter of E. O. Suter, who died at Jervis, this state, when his daughter was a child of but two years.

Mrs. Hockett, who passed away in May, 1911, was also a niece of Senator Ben Harding, one of the prominent men of the northwest. Two children were born to Dr. and Mrs. Hockett, Asabel J. and Wayfe E.

On the 11th of December, 1911, Dr. Hockett was married to Mrs. Louise Wade Long, a daughter of Aaron Wade, one of the prominent and influential ranchmen of Wallowa county.

Dr. Hockett is a member of the Presbyterian church, and fraternally he is affiliated with Wallowa Lodge, No. 82, A. F. & A. M., and the Enterprise Chapter, R. A. M. He is also a member of Enterprise Lodge, No. 94, K. of P., while he maintains relations with his fellow practitioners through the medium of his connection with the Wallowa County Medical Society of which he is vice president. In politics he is a republican and during the greater part of his residence in Enterprise he has represented his ward in the town council, and in the last election he was a candidate for state representative but was defeated by Jerry Rusk.

Dr. Hockett is very popular both socially and professionally, and is meeting with excellent success in his practice, having had ample opportunity during the period of his residence here to demonstrate his skill both as a physician and surgeon.
