DR. ROY EUGENE FELL

American Flag.jpg Dr. Roy Eugene FELL was born on July 27, 1923, Walnut, Iowa, the son of Glen and Gladys FELL and a brother of Max who was born in 1918. Dr. FELL grew up on the farm and attending school, participating in football, basketball, the Glee Club, school plays, and played the trumpet in the school band. He graduated from Walnut High School in 1940. After attending 18 months of classes at Iowa State College, his grades were not high enough to enter into veterinary college. He sought employment in Napa, California with the Basalt Rock Shipyards, spending two years building mine layers and destroyers. He then joined the U.S. Navy. After boot camp in Idaho, Dr. FELL was sent to Panama to guard the Panama Sea Frontier at the Naval Base there.

Upon his discharge from the Navy, Dr. FELL returned to his parental home and worked on the farm.

In 1950 Dr. FELL returned to college, earning a B.A. from Drake University, Des Moines. He was admitted to the Still Osteopathic College, graduating in 1954 with an internship at Des Moines General Hospital and Broadlawns Hospital.

Dr. FELL married Frances Ann THOMPSON from Clarion Iowa, in 1950. They became the parents of six children: Fay (FELL) HOWIE, Paul, John, Eric, Mary (FELL) ROBINSON, and Jim.

In 1954, the FELLS came to Mount Ayr where he worked with Dr. MOFFETT. After a few years, Dr. FELL built his own office building at 207 North Taylor Street. During his career, Dr. FELL brought numerous babies into this world. He often took his own children with him when making evening house calls to his patients. Dr. FELL was highly regarded not only for his bedside manner but his concern with his patients' problems, joys, and concerns.
