WILLIAM R. PAULES, M. D. The subject of this narrative is one of the foremost
physicians of the Seventeenth Congressional District of Pennsylvania and is a
valued citizen of Danville, in which town he owns and conducts a large drug
store. He was born in Marietta, Lancaster County, Pa., November 24, 1863, and is
a son of David and Elizabeth (Rumbaugh) Paules

  David Paules is of German descent and was born in Lancaster County, Pa. His
father was one of the leading agriculturists of his community and, having been
reared upon the farm, it was but natural that David should follow that
occupation. Attaining his majority he purchased a farm near the village of
Marietta and by his good management and industrious efforts he has accumulated a
small fortune and has one of the best farms in Lancaster County. In the spring
of 1898 Mr. Paules retired to the town of Marietta to enjoy the emoluments of
his past progressive and honored life. He formed a matrimonial alliance with
Elizabeth Rumbaugh and a family of eight children was born to them, all of whom
received a liberal education and are popular and well-to-do citizens in the
communities in which they reside.

  Dr. Paules was reared upon his father's farm, attended the district school
until he was twelve years of age and then entered the high school and was
graduated four years later. He then continued his studies at the Millersville
State Normal School, from which he graduated with the class of 1883. He then
engaged as a teacher, but not being satisfied with a position that afforded work
only a few months in the year, he decided upon a medical career, and accordingly
took up his studies with Dr. Norris, a prominent physician of Marietta. In 1886
he located in Danville and clerked in the drug store owned by Dr. S. Y.
Thompson. He next entered the Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia and was
graduated with the class of 1890. He soon after entered upon the practice of his
profession at Danville, and has since followed it continuously with marked
success. He also owns a neat and well-kept drug store, which has proven a
profitable venture. He purchased the Grier property on the corner of Bloom and
Ferry streets and has enlarged and rebuilt the same into a handsome residence.

  Our subject wedded Florence Peifer, a daughter of George W. Peifer, and the
following children have blessed their happy home, namely: Parvin Elwood, born
July 24, 1892; and Mary Elizabeth, born June 15, 1897.

  Dr. Paules is a member of Danville Lodge No. 780, I. O. O. F., and Lotus
Conclave, I. O. H. His wife is a member of the Lutheran Church of Danville. Dr.
Paules has labored diligently and industriously to perfect himself in his
profession and has been remarkably successful. He is a popular man, has built up
an extensive practice, and has won a place among the foremost of his profession.
