TURPIN, THOMAS JEFFERSON
Thomas Jefferson Turpin, M. D., is one of the foremost physicians and surgeons of southeast Texas. He has done pioneer work in his profession and was among the earliest physicians to locate in the town of Corpus Christi, where he is now engaged in a general practice. He was elected county physician of Nueces County in 1908.
Dr. Turpin was born at Carrollton, Kentucky, December 28, 1847. His father, Philip Osborn Turpin, was born in Virginia and settled in Kentucky in 1820. He was a planter and died at Corpus Christi in 1881. The mother, who died in 1861, was Mary Ellen Butler, daughter of Major Thomas Butler of the United States army.
His early education in the public schools and the academy at Carrollton was interrupted on account of the war, so that he did not graduate from the academy. In the office of Dr. Prentice Mead, of Carrollton, he began the study of medicine, then attended the Kentucky School of Medicine at Louisville, where he graduated in 1869, and in 1870 did post-graduate work in the Jefferson Medical College, also spending a year in the Louisville Hospital. After a brief practice in Kentucky he located at Corpus Christi in 1871.
His practice at Corpus Christi continued until 1890, and during the following decade his home was in Laredo. From 1890 to 1898 he was state quarantine officer, and also city and county physician and acting surgeon in the United States marine hospital. In the service of the latter institution he was sent to Mexico in 1900, and for several years was surgeon for the Mexican International Railroad Company. He was the first surgeon in Mexico outside of the City of Mexico to perform a successful operation of ovariotomy. In 1906 he returned to Corpus Christi and has continued his practice here. He was elected county physician in 1908.
He is a member of the American Medical Association, the Texas State Medical Association and the Nueces County Medical Society. He is a Democrat in politics, is affiliated with the Knights of Pythias, and allied with the Episcopal church.
Dr. Turpin married, in 1878, Miss Fidie Buckner. She is a daughter of William Buckner, of Kentucky. They have one daughter, Katherine, wife of John N. Goddard, of Missouri.
