Biography

For thirty-two years, Dr. Richard Edward Bland practiced medicine in the city of St. Louis, and in his private profession came to hold, to the day of his death, the respect of all St. Louis as a beloved and thoroughly valued citizen and public servant in the service that only a physician can give to the people of his community. Dr. Bland died in 1867, when he was only fifty-four and at a time when the border state of Missouri needed high-class men of all kinds, especially professional men who had an altruistic sense of their callings and did command the public confidence.
