John F. Patton, D. D. S., one of the well established
professional men of Virden, Macoupin County, was born in Iowa on November
15, 1875, and is a son of James and Huldah (Marx) Patton, who were born in
Pennsylvania and Ohio, respectively. James Patton, who was a farmer all his
life, was a man who was held in high esteem by his business and social
associates.
Dr. Patton was educated in the common schools of his
neighborhood, where he completed the high school course. He then entered the
Northwestern University Dental School at Chicago, and was there graduated in
dentistry in 1900, since which date he has been located at Virden, where he
has met with flattering success in practice, commanding some of the most
desirable patronage of the locality. Dr. Patton has introduced into his
practice all modern methods and has equipped his offices with appliances
which not only expedite work, but render some of the formerly painful
operations comparatively easy.
Dr. Patton was married in October,
1900, to Helen Gates, who is a daughter of Lee Gates, of Sangamon County,
Illinois, a prominent farmer of that section.
Fraternally, Dr.
Patton is a Mason. He belongs also to the Illinois State Dental Society and
the Northwestern Dental Society. Well equipped for his work, enthusiastic in
its pursuit, he is becoming one of the leading members of his profession. He
is very popular in Virden and enjoys the confidence and good wishes of the
majority of its citizens.
