Carleton Lakey Vanderboget was the only child of Richard and Adeline Lakey Vanderboget. Born in Palmyra, New York in 1883, Vanderboget graduated from the University of Buffalo in 1910. A physician, he completed his internship at Seattle General Hospital and later practiced at the Cobb Building alongside many of Seattle's medical practitioners until 1916. As a member of the Washington National Guard, and later the Army Reserve, Vanderboget first served with General John Pershing along the Mexican border from 1916-1917. He was later called to active service in the regular army and ordered to act as the recruiting officer for Base Hospital 50 on December 3, 1917.
Vanderboget -- by then a Colonel -- later served in World War II, in the Pacific Theater, where he was captured by the Japanese after the Battle of Corregidor, in the Philippines. He held as a prisoner of war from May 1942, until Bilibid, the prison where he was being held outside Manila, was liberated in March 1945. At the time of his capture, Vanderboget was the chief medical officer of a laboratory facility for Army General Hospital #2 near Cabcaban, Bataan.
Two years later, in 1947, he would retire from the military to a small farm near Edmonds, Washington. He died in Edmonds on March 7, 1970. Among his honors, Vanderboget received the Legion of Merit, Purple Heart, and Mexican Service Award. He is buried at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia.
