was ten years of age and of course could see nothing but the courthouse that
looked familiar. He is one of the leading Dentists of the West and regretted
his visit had to be so short on account of a lecturing engagement he has in
Chicago next week. They left yesterday by way of Ackerman and will visit a day
in the home of Dr. Weeks before leaving for Houston.

odd years ago, beginning at the very bottom, but through the faithfulness to

dependable, as well as poplar employees. He was married several years ago to
Miss Myrtle Hight, who with an adopted daughter survive, as well as his mother,
three sisters and two brothers.
