Since 1908 Werner Adolph Reinhold Lagus has been practicing medicine in Astoria, where he has built up an extensive practice and has won the confidence and goodwill of all the people of the community. He is a native of Finland, in which country his birth took place on the 26th of December, 1865, a son of Wilhelm and Wilhelmina Lagus. The father was one of Finland's most distinguished educators, his fame as a teacher of Greek and Latin being recognized throughout Europe. He had also mastered the Oriental languages, being able to write and speak them fluently. Prof. Lagus was for many years professor of languages in the Imperial Alexander's University and for many years he served as rector (president) of that noted seat of learning.
Dr. Werner A. R. Lagus received his education in his native country and was graduated from the Imperial Alexander's University in 1896. He then went to Germany, where he took a two years' course at the Leipsic University, after which he returned to Finland where he practiced his profession until 1903 when he came to the United States. After practicing in Kansas City and Worcester, Massachusetts, for some time he removed to Astoria in 1908, where he has since practiced. Dr. Lagus is devoted to his profession and is a deep and earnest reader, ever keeping up with the progress being made throughout the world in the field of medicine. While his practice is general he makes a specialty of children's diseases and has won considerable fame along this line. He has won the confidence and respect of all with whom he comes into contact by his ability, kindness and his sterling traits of character.
In 1895 Dr. Lagus was united in marriage to Miss Sigrid Kroonquist, a native of his home city, and to them have been born three children: Sigrid, a graduate of Corvallis and a mining engineer of merit; Anna Maria, who is attending the Oregon Agricultural College; and Lorenzo, a student in the Astoria schools.
The greater portion of Dr. Lagos' time is devoted to his profession, in connection with which he is an active member of the Clatsop County Medical Society, the Oregon Medical Society and the American Medical Association. His standing in his profession is of the highest and as a citizen he is conceded to be one of the most progressive, public spirited and representative men of the county.
