DR. STEPHEN FLATT, who is now successfully engaged in the practice of medicine at Hardin, Calhoun county, Illinois, and is also conducting a drug store at that place, was born in Greene county on the 5th of June, 1872, and is a son of Daniel Flatt, whose sketch appears elsewhere in this volume. His primary education was obtained in the district schools of this county and he later attended the Carrollton high school, where he was graduated with honors in 1895, being valedictorian of his class. Desiring to enter the medical fraternity he matriculated at the College of Physicians and Surgeons at St. Louis and was graduated at that institution March 16, 1898, standing third in a class of one hundred and five. He then located for practice in Hardin, Calhoun county, Illinois, and for a time was in partnership with Dr. McGibbins, both in the practice of medicine and in the drug business, but later bought out his partner and is now alone. As a druggist, he has built up a good trade and as a physician he stands high among his professional brethren, securing a liberal share of the public patronage.

On the 10th of April, 1901, in St. Louis, Dr. Flatt was married by Bishop Tuttle to Miss Marie E. Carruthers, a daughter of George and Hattie Carruthers. Her father is a commission merchant of St. Louis. The Doctor and his wife have a little son, S. Ford, born December 26, 1901.

Politically Dr. Flatt is a Democrat, and religiously is a member of the Baptist church, and fraternally is connected with Hardin lodge, A.F. & A.M. He has in his possession a certificate of Masonry issued to his great-grandfather, John Gibson, in England and a silver medal given to the same gentleman, June 15, 1815, for bravery while in the king's service in the battle of Waterloo.
