POTTENGER, Francis Marion physician was born at Sater, O., Sept. 27, 1869, son of Thomas and Hanna Ellen Sater Pottenger. According to Burke and other genealogical authorities the family claims descent from Egbert, King of England, and many of its members sat in the early British parliament. The first of the family in America was John Pottenger, who came from Berkshire, England, in 1665, and settled in Calvert county, Md.; from him and his wife, Elizabeth Magruder, Francis Marion Pottenger is descended through their son Samuel and his wife Elizabeth Tyler; their son Samuel and his wife Eleanor Willett; their son Samuel S. and his wife Susan Winthrow; their son Thomas and his wife Margaret Radcliffe, who were the grandparents of Francis M. Pottenger. The subject of this sketch received his early education at the Sater public schools and the preparatory department of Otterbein University, Westerville, O., and was graduated at the collegiate department of the latter institution in 1892. Subsequently he studied for a year at the Ohio Medical College and then entered the Cincinnati College of Medicine and Surgery, where he was graduated in 1894. During his senior year he held a position as assistant at the Cincinnati Free Hospital for Women. After his graduation he went abroad and did post graduate work in the hospitals of Vienna, Berlin, Munich, and London. Upon his return he entered upon a general practice at Norwood, O., and for a time acted as assistant at Dr C. A. L. Reed's private hospital in Cincinnati. Soon afterward he was chosen assistant to the chair of surgery in the Cincinnati College of Medicine and Surgery, but was compelled to leave this position and go to California on account of the ill health of his wife. He practiced at Monrovia Cal for eighteen months and then returned to Germantown, O., where for two years he devoted himself to caring for his wife and studying the subject of tuberculosis. Upon the death of his wife in 1898, he returned to Monrovia where he has since been engaged in practice and in the study of tuberculosis. In 1900 he pursued special studies in this disease in New York and at the Wynyah Sanatorium, Ashville, N. Y., under Dr. von Ruck. In the following year he opened an office in Los Angeles for the treatment of diseases of the chest and throat, and two years later he established the Pottenger Sanatorium at Monrovia, of which he is medical director. He was the first physician on the Pacific Coast to limit his work exclusively to the treatment of tuberculosis, and his sanatorium was the first successful institution of its kind to be established in California. In 1903 he was instrumental in founding the Southern California Anti-Tuberculosis League, and he was its president until 1906. His position is now that of an internationally recognized authority on tuberculosis. He has added many original observations to the clinical side of tuberculosis and has brought out new methods of diagnosis that have gained wide recognition. He was a lecturer on tuberculosis and climatology in the medical department of the University of Southern California in 1904-05, a professor of clinical medicine there in 1905-09, and in 1914 was made professor of diseases of the chest in the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Los Angeles. During 1902-12, he was assistant editor of the Southern California Practitioner. His published books include "Pulmonary Tuberculosis" (1908); "Muskelspasmus und Degeneration Ihre Bedeutung für die Diagnose intrathorazischer Entzündung und als Kausalfaktor bei der Produktion von Veränderungen des knöchernen Thorax und Leichte Tastpaltation,? published in Brauer?s "Beiträge zur Klinik Tuberkulose," vol. 22, part 1; "Muscle Spasm and Degeneration and Light Touch Palpitation" (1912); "Tuberculin in Diagnosis and Treatment," (1913). He was chairman of the tuberculosis committee of the Medical Society of the State of California in 1903-06; president of the Los Angeles County Medical Society in 1906, of the Southern California Medical Society in 1913, and of the American Therapeutic Society in 1915; member of the Los Angeles Medical Association the Los Angeles Clinical and Pathological Society, the Southern California Medical Society, the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Medicine, the American Climatological Association, the American Public Health Association, the American Association of Immunologists, the Mississippi Valley Medicine Association, the Seventh Pan American Medical Congress, the Medical Society of the State of California, the Los Angeles Society for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, the National and International Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, and the American Sanatorium Association. Dr. Pottenger is president of the Pottenger Sanatorium Co. and a director of the American National Bank and the Granite Savings Bank of Monrovia. He is a first lieutenant of the medical reserve corps of the United States army and is a member of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, the Archaeological Institute of America, the Society of Colonial Wars, the Sons of the American Revolution, and the California University and Gamut clubs. He was married (1) at Germantown, O., in 1894 to Carrie, daughter of Abraham K. Burtner of that town; (2) at Sacramento, Cal., in 1900 to Adelaide G., daughter of Emily Babbitt of Southern Pasadena. There are three children: Francis Marion, Jr., Robert Thomas, and Adelaide Marie Pottenger.
