HARRY H. BLODGETT, Physician. A decision to make Honolulu his home, and to 
carry on his life work here, was reached by Dr. H. H. Blodgett after two years 
of service at Fort Shafter and Schofield Barracks as a captain in the Medical 
Corps of the United States Army.
  Leaving the military service in 1917, Dr. Blodgett began the practice of his 
profession in Honolulu with constantly growing success. In 1923-1924 he was 
associated with Dr. Nelson R. Hatt, assisting in the operations performed upon 
crippled children at the Shriners’ Hospital in Honolulu, and in 1918 and 1919, 
during the World War period, he returned to army service and was again 
assigned to Fort Shafter. He was president of the Medical Society of Hawaii in 
1919. In his earlier military service he was in Vera Cruz, Mexico; Galveston, 
Texas, and for nearly a year had various stations in Mexico, South Dakota and 
Washington, D.C.
  Dr. Blodgett was an interne at St. Joseph’s Hospital, Chicago, from 1907 to 
1908, was a surgeon with the Burlington railroad at Omaha, Neb., for a year 
and was continuously in the United States Army Medical Corps from 1911 to 
1917. He was educated at the Indianola High School, Iowa, Simpson College, 
Iowa, and received his M.D. degree from Rush Medical College, Chicago, in 1907.
  Alpha Kappa Kappa medical fraternity and Sigma Nu College fraternity are 
among Dr. Blodgett’s affiliations, and he is a member of the Oahu Country and 
University Clubs. He was born at Ida Grove, Iowa, Sept. 18, 1882, the son of 
Oscar Jerome and Mary Viola (Hoagland) Blodgett. In 1908 he married Esther 
Lyons of Chicago and they have three sons, Harry L., Jr., Julian R. and James 
Arthur Blodgett.
