     WALTER FISK BOGGESS, M. D.  Graduated in medicine in 1886, Doctor
Boggess has been a tireless worker in his profession for thirty-five
years and is one of the physicians of real eminence in Kentucky.  He has
been in private practice at Louisville for thirty years and his
attainments have brought him such a reputation that his work is now
largely confined to consultation.
     Doctor Boggess was born on his grandfather's plantation in
Jefferson County, Kentucky, January 19, 1863.  His grandfather was
Robert Boggess, a native of North Carolina, a Kentucky pioneer who
settled in Muhlenberg County in 1801.  The father of Doctor Boggess was
Rev. Charles Young Boggess, who was born in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky
in 1827, finished his college education at Greenville, Kentucky, and for
sixty years pursued with little rest or interruption the career of a
minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church.  He was one of the prominent
members of the Louisville Conference, and his last charge was at
Bardstown, Kentucky.  He joined the Louisville Conference in 1854, and
spent his least years in Jefferson County, where he died in 1913, at the
age of eighty-seven.  Rev. Mr. Boggess married Rose M. Moorman, who was
born in 1836 and died in 1905.  Her father, Alanson Moorman, was a
native of Lynchburg, Virginia, was an early settler in Meade County,
Kentucky, and in 1858 moved to Jefferson County where he died in 1895,
at the age of eighty-eight.
     Doctor Boggess is the younger of two sons, his brother being Olin
Boggess.  His youth was spent in the several communities where his
father was minister, and in those places he attended public school.  He
prepared for college in Forrest Academy, and then pursued the classical
course and graduated with the A.B. degree in 1882.  While he had planned
a medical career, he remained at Vanderbilt two years as assistant
instructor in Greek.  He studied medicine at Louisville and New York,
received his degree in 1886, and for four years was assistant physician
to the State Institution for the Insane at Lakeland.  Doctor Boggess
began active practice at Louisville in 1890, and his practice is now
limited to internal medicine and diagnosis.  He held the chair of
professor of practice and diagnosis of medicine in the Louisville
Medical College.  He has been consulting physician at the Louisville
City Hospital and the Deaconess Hospital.  He is a member of the
Jefferson County, Kentucky State and American Medical associations, also
of te Mississippi Valley Medical and Southern Medical and Surgical
societies.  He is a member of the Pendennis Club, and has always given
much time to the Methodist Church.  He is a member of the executive
committee of the board of church extension of the Southern Methodist
Episcopal Church.  On April 20, 1896, he married Miss Liebie Jones,
daughter of Col. Stephen Jones of Abingdon, Virginia.  Doctor and Mrs.
Boggess have two daughters, Elizabeth Fish and Katherine Larned.
