Dr. William Chivous Bostic, Sr. (December 20, 1877 – September 23, 1957), was a prominent American doctor.
He assisted Dr. Guilford E. Young in caring for the affected patients, and became known to the residents as "Doc".
His father experienced financial difficulties later in life, and Bostic worked as a custodian to support himself while he attended Grant University in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
[1] In 1900, Bostic married Mossie Arledge with whom he had four children: Margaret, William Chivous Jr., Dorothy, and Kenneth.
William Chivous Bostic Jr. became an accomplished physician like his father,[2] and graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with honors in 1926.
