THEODORE F. ENGSTROM, D.O.
No school of medicine requires a more comprehensive and exact knowledge of anatomy than does osteopathy; and for the practice of this profession Dr. Theodore F. Engstrom, of Marysville, is thoroughly qualified. He is one of California’s native sons, and was born in Sacramento, November 21, 1886. His parents, F. E. and Hannah (Pearson) Engstrom, were natives of Sweden, and both have passed away. The father came to the Golden State in 1879, and his demise occurred in 1907.
In the acquirement of an education Dr. Engstrom attended the grammar and high schools of Sacramento and then entered the Pacific College of Osteopathy at Los Angeles, from which he was graduated in 1911. He began his professional career in Sacramento and remained there until 1916, when he opened an office in Marysville. After the United States entered the World War, on November 17, 1917, he enlisted in the Medical Corps of the United States Army and went over seas, serving in France with the 91st (Wild West) Division, with which he participated in many memorable battles, remaining in the service for two years. Returning to the United States, he was mustered out at the Presidio, San Francisco, May 13, 1919, as Medical Sergeant, and then resumed his practice at Marysville, where the general confidence in which he is held testifies eloquently to his skill. He has been honored with the presidency of the Sacramento Valley Osteopathic Association and also has membership in the California and American Osteopathic Associations.
Dr. Engstrom was united in marriage to Miss Bertha Collicott, a native of Indiana. He is commander of Bishop-Langenbach Post No. 948, Veterans of Foreign Wars, at Marysville, and his fraternal connections are with the Red Men; Marysville Lodge No. 783, B.P.O.E.; and Yuba City Lodge No. 187, I.O.O.F. He is deeply interested in everything that tends to raise the standards of his profession or promote the efficiency of its representatives, and supports every movement that contributes to the welfare of his community or the benefit of its citizens.

CHARLES HUST
A keen and alert young business man, Charles Hust is making his influence felt in automobile circles of Marysville, and every step he has taken toward a successful career has been in the right direction. He has spent his entire life in the Golden State and was born in Colton, San Bernardino County, April 17, 1888, a son of John and Mary (Miller) Hust. The father was a locomotive engineer and he saw service at the time of the Civil War under General Sherman and was captured by Confederate forces. The mother was of old pioneer stock. She was a second cousin of the explorer Clark, one of the leaders of the Lewis and Clark expedition, and accompanied her parents on their journey across the plains. Both Mr. and Mrs. Hust are deceased, the former passing away in 1916 and the latter in 1920.
Charles Hust attended the Long Beach Grammar School and the Berkeley High School, also completing a course in a business college. Like most American boys, he became deeply interested in baseball, devoting his leisure hours to that sport, and after completing his studies he became a professional player. For four years he followed that game and then turned to business pursuits, accepting a position with the Yuba Manufacturing Company, of Marysville. He remained with that concern for eight years, afterward spending a year with the Dodge Brothers Automobile Company, and in December, 1920, embarked in his present business. Later he was joined by his brother, S. G. Hust, who has since been associated with him in the business, which is conducted under the name of Hust Brothers. They carry a line of automobiles and tractors and truck and auto accessories and have already built up a large trade. They have made a careful study of the automobile business and their commercial transactions are characterized by strict integrity.
Mr. Hust was united in marriage to Miss Francis Dietz, of Marysville, also a native of this State, and they have a son, William. Mr. Hust is a Republican, and his fraternal relations are with the Woodmen of the World and the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks. He is a devotee of all athletic sports and his physical vigor serves as a stimulant to his mental powers. He stands for the better things in life in the way of citizenship and good government and has won the respect of his fellow men.
