         FREDERICK H. HURLBURT, M.D.  

         
   One of the leading members of the medical profession in North Battle-
ford, the district and prdvince is Dr. Frederick H. Hurlburt, a member
of the well known firm of Hamelin, Panton & Hurlburt.  He was born
at Mitchell, Perth county, Ontario, on the 17th of September, 1874, a
son of Thomas George and Jane (Honey) Hurlburt, both natives of the
province of Ontario. The father farmed for the greater part of his life
in Perth county and there his death occurred in September, 1917, at the
age of seventy-seven years. His widow survives him and is making her
home with her children, who reside in North Battleford, Lashford and
Aberdeen, spending some time with each of them.
   The public schools of Mitchell afforded Frederick H. Hurlburt his
early education and after graduating from high school he taught in the
public schools of the proviYice for five years.  He then enrolled in the
University of Toronto and the M. B. degree was conferred upon him
by that institution in 1907. He then came west and located at Lashburn,
Saskatchewan, where he practiced for five years. In 1912 he came to the
old town of Battleford and practiced until 1915, when he enlisted in the
Royal Army Medical Corps and was given a lieutenant's commission.
He went overseas in January of the following year, was in a training
camp for a short time and then was sent to Mesopotamia, where he re-
mained until March, 191.7.  He then returned to Canada, received his
honorable discharge and commenced to practice in North Battleford
On the 1st of December, 1919, he became a partner of Drs. J. J. Hamelin
and L. A. C. Panton, under the firm name of Hamelin, Panton & Hurl-
burt and that association has since been maintained. Each of the doctors
is a specialist and has been remarkably successful in his branch of the
profession.  Dr. Hurlburt specializes in internal medicine.  He is also
actively interested in farming and has extensive interests in association
with his brother. The firm is known as Huriburt Brothers and the head-
quarters are in Lashburn. They operate three-quarters of a section and
have two hundred and fifty acres in cultivation.
     On the 7th of June, 1911, Dr. Huriburt was married to Miss Esther
Beatrix Buckingham of Stratford, Ontario, and they are the parents of
two children: Edith Elizabeth, born on the 13th of June, 1914; and
Frederick William Buckingham, born on the 13th of July, 1916.  Dr.
Hurlburt is a Liberal in his political views and he maintains an active
interest in party affairs. He has never sought nor desired political pref-
erment, but is ever cognizant of the duties and responsibilities as well
as the privileges of good citizenship and to that end is never too busy to
land his aid in the furtherance of any movement for the benefit of the
community.  He is chairman of the Collegiate School board and was
medical health officer of the old town of Battleford for two years. He is
a member of the Canadian and Saskatchewan Medical Societies and fra-
ternally is a Mason, belonging to the chapter. He is an active member
of the Rotary Club an~ the Canadian Club and socially is connected with
the Curling Club. His religious faith is that of the Anglican church.
