He later took a post graduate course in the Chicago Post Graduate College. He practiced medicine at Decatur City for a time and began practice in Leon in 1905. He was married to Miss Edith Hendrickson in the fall of 1907. He was a local examiner in 1917 for U.S. recruits for the army service. In 1931 he was elected president of the Iowa State Medical Society. Dr. Eiker had served this county as representative in the state legislature and was a candidate before the coming primary election for state senator on the republican ticket from this district. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity, the Order of Eastern Star, and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. His chief interest, however, lay in organizations connected with his profession. He was a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and an active member of the Decatur County Medical Society.
