WILLIAM S. GREENLEAF, physician and surgeon, with a long and capable record of service at Atlantic, was born in that city October 3, 1872, and the Greenleafs are a family that have lived at Atlantic practically since it was
founded.
Doctor Greenleaf's parents were John Quincy and Paulian (Slater) Greenleaf,
New England people who came to Cass County, Iowa, in pioneer times and first
lived at the original county seat at Lewis. John Quincy Greenleaf, who was a
painter by trade, subsequently moved to Omaha, but after Atlantic had been
established as the county seat returned to that town and lived there the rest
of his life. He died in 1915 and his wife in 1922. He was a member of the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows. There were three children in the family:
Minnie, wife of C. E. Hartshorn, of Logan, Kansas; Mrs. Lula Whitted, of Los
Angeles; and William S.
Doctor Greenleaf is a graduate of the Atlantic High School. He completed
his medical course at the University of Iowa in 1895, and then returned to his
native county and for over twenty years practiced in the town of Massena.
Since 1916 he has had his offices and home at Atlantic. He acts as local
surgeon for the Rock Island Railway Company, and a large part of his time and attention are devoted to X-Ray work. He has a laboratory and complete equipment for X-Ray examination and diagnosis. Doctor Greenleaf is a member of the Cass County, Iowa State and American Medical Associations, the Missouri Valley Medical Society, Radiological Society of North America, the American
Association of Railway Surgeons, is secretary of Atlantic Hospital Corporation and is a Fellow of the College of Science of Physical Therapy. He has membership in all the Masonic bodies at Atlantic and the Mystic Shrine at Des Moines, is a member of the Rotary Club and the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Doctor Greenleaf married, June 15, 1898, Miss Bessie M. Henshaw, of
Atlantic. Her father, W. H. Henshaw, was a stock and grain buyer, and served as a Union soldier in the Civil war, enlisting in Company B of the Second Iowa Cavalry. Mrs. Greenleaf graduated from the Atlantic High School and attended the State Teachers College at Iowa Falls. She is a member of the P. E. O., the Eastern Star and White Shrine of Jerusalem, the Priscilla Club and the Methodist Episcopal Church. Doctor and Mrs. Greenleaf have a daughter, Eloise J., born January 22, 1914, now in the senior class of the Atlantic High School.
