R. M. Enders, M. D., ranks among the foremost of the leading physicians of Little Rock, and his career as a physician, no less than as a citizen, has been of widespread benefit to the community. He was born in Baton Rouge, La., in 1846, and there, at an early age laid the foundation for a good literary education, under Prof. McGruder, one of the most eminent educators of the South. At the age of nineteen years, he commenced the study of medicine under his father, Dr. P. M. Enders, and later attended medical lectures at the University of Louisiana at New Orleans, and upon leaving this institution, in 1869, he bore with honor the title of Doctor. His first location was made on the Arkansas River, below Pine Bluff, but after a residence there of a few years he removed to Dardanelle, remaining in this location four years. He has established an enviable reputation over a large portion of the State during his practice here, but at this point in his career, he was obliged to seek a more congenial climate on account of the health of his family, and with this end in view, he went to Orange County, Fla. After remaining here five years and finding his wife’s health no better, be removed to Southern Texas, and finally came to Little Rock, where he at once began the practice of his profession. Dr. Enders was married in Arkansas, to Miss Editha Kimbrough, by whom he has the following children: John K., Samuel M., Ethel B., Eddie N., Robert M., Jr., Griffith and Henry Bennett.
