Walter Council was born on April 25, 1882, in Council, North Carolina, which was named for his father, John Pickett Council.[1] His mother was Johnanna Wooten Council. (Her first name, seen in various spellings, is listed as spelled in family records; it derives in part as a tribute to her father, John Wooten, who was thrown from a horse and killed before Johnanna's birth.)
He came to Alaska as a youth of 24 in 1905, less than a year after he was graduated with honors from the University of Virginia's medical school, and with a degree of Doctor of Philosophy from the University of North Carolina.[6] At the time of his death he was the Dean of Alaska surgeons, Commissioner of Health for the Territory.
