“Charles Harvey Stinnett was born February 26, 1934 and grew up in Horatio, Arkansas. He played linebacker for the Horatio Lions. He first attended the University of Arkansas in 1952 for agriculture, but with encouragement from Dr Dickinson, his hometown doctor, and Fred Sharp, the pharmacist he worked for in high school, he switched to pre-med. He was admitted to the University of Arkansas College of Medicine in February 1955 during his junior year. Charles completed residency in 1961 and joined Drs. Huskins and Puckett in Siloam Springs, Arkansas.
Charles practiced medicine in Siloam Springs for 44 years. It is estimated that he delivered over 1,500 babies, and he considered each and every one of his patients a part of his family. He had two nurses over the period, Willie Elliot and Connie Carter, who worked for him for 9 years and 35 years respectively. He was incredibly grateful for their help. Charles was a member of the National Guard from 1960 to 1968.
Charles Harvey Stinnett, M.D. died June 14 2019 at Circle of Life Hospice in Springdale, Arkansas.”1
