Dr. Claude L. Rawlings was born in New Harmony, Ind., April 11, 1880. He is the son of Dr. Sam Rawlings, one of the old physicians of New Harmony, consequently Dr. Claude has breathed a medical atmosphere from childhood. He graduated from the Mt. Vernon High School in 1898, and was a student of DePauw University one year. He graduated in the medical department of Washington University in St. Louis in 1903. Afterwards he was interne in the St. Louis Female and City hospitals, then returned to his native town, the modern “Athens on the Wabash,” and began the practice of his profession in 1904; and has resided there ever since. He was married to Miss Catherine Barnes, of St. Louis, in 1905. To this union have been added three children, two boys and one girl. Since the doctor is young, industrious, intelligent and admirably equipped by education, training and association for his calling, his friends—and they are numerous—may well predict for him a large measure of success.
