WILLIAM WESLEY TROUT, M.D. —Since 1886 Dr. William Wesley Trout has been actively engaged in the practice of medicine in Spring Lake, New Jersey. These thirty-five years have been spent in keeping in touch with the most advanced practical thought, in consequence of which his ability is widely recognized in professional circles.
Dr. Trout was born in Cumberland county, Pennsylvania, March 5, 1854, the son of Abraham and Eliza (Grubb) Trout, the former a farmer until his death in 1862. Mrs. Trout died in 1899, at the age of seventy-seven years. Mr. and Mrs. Trout were the parents of six children: 1. George W., served with Company H, Third Pennsylvania Cavalry, during the Civil War, and was killed near Fredericksburg in October, 1863. 2. John Grubb, served in the infantry during the Civil War, and was taken prisoner; he died from malnutrition, December 25, 1865. 3. David Harry, living retired n Philadelphia, having been for many years a successful carpenter in that region. 4. Anna, married Michael Wolff, a farmer near Carlisle, Pennsylvania. 5. Abraham G., deceased. 6. William Wesley, of further mention.
Dr. William Wesley Trout received his early education in the public schools of his native place and then entered the Carlisle High School, from which he was subsequently graduated with the class of 1872. Having in the meantime determined to enter the drug business, and with this end in view, he entered the employ of Henry Blair & Sons Company, and later matriculated at the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, completing the prescribed course in 1876, when he secured a position with Charles W. Hancock, remaining there until 1878. The summer of this year he came to Spring Lake and opened a drug store for George I. McKelvey, but in the winters of 1879 and 1880 he returned to Philadelphia and again employed by George I. McKelvey. In 1881 he bought out Mr. McKelvey's store in Spring Lake, and formed a partnership with Charles A. Bye, of Spring Lake, and the business continued thus until 1888, when Dr. Trout sold out his interests. In the meantime, however, Dr. Trout had decided to engage in the practice of medicine and therefore entered Jefferson Medical College, graduating with the degree of Doctor of Medicine in the class of 1886. After completing this course, he returned immediately to Spring Lake and established himself in his chosen profession, which venture has proved most successful.
Professionally, he holds membership in the New Jersey State Medical Association and the Monmouth County Medical Society. He is an Independent Democrat in politics. He has been a member of the Wall Township Board of Health for many years, treasurer of the borough of Spring Lake since 1903, councilman of the old borough of Spring Lake for several years, one of the organizers of the school district, and an active member of the local school board almost continuously since its inception. He is a member of Wall Lodge, No. 72, Free and Accepted Masons; Goodwin Chapter, Royal Arch Masons; Lulu Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine; and holds the thirty-second degree, Camden Consistory, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite. He is also affiliated with the Knights of the Golden Eagle, Junior Order of United American Mechanics, and the Daughters of Liberty.
Dr. Trout married (first) Irene Coates, a daughter of Chalkley and Mary Anne (Walton) Coates, old Chester county, Pennsylvania, residents. Mrs. Trout died in 1888. From this union were born three children: Eva Coates, who died in infancy; Harry William, born August 8, 1880, is now in the manufacturing business in Syracuse, New York, and is married to Anna Schanck, of Spring Lake; Irene Coates, born January 12, 1883, married Albert H. Ziegler, of Riverton, New Jersey. Dr. Trout married (second) Rebecca Riley Porter, granddaughterof ex-Governor Porter, of Pennsylvania, and daughter of Dr. George V. and Emma (Riley) Porter, the former a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, and a practicing physician of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Dr. and Mrs. Trout are the parents of one child, Elsie Porter, born September 20, 1895, the wife of Richard Ham, of Pulaski, Virginia.
Dr. Trout is ardently devoted to fishing and hunting, and until 1918 had gone South to North Carolina, quail shooting. It is interesting to note here that he is very fond of children, and on each of his trips South never forgot his young friends there, always carrying them a gift of some sort. Children are his hobby, and his young friends of Spring Lake are numbered among the many who readily speak of his generosity and consideration.
