"John E. Anthony"

JOHN E. ANTHONY, D.D.S., of Evansville, Rock County, is a very successful dentist, and has
a large patronage. He is a man of irreproachable personal habits, a genial and social gentleman, and is fully abreast of the times in everything that relates to his profession.
Dr. ANTHONY was born in Watertown, N.Y., April 19, 1845, and was reared in his native
State, near Watertown. He attended the public schools, and was well educated along general lines of culture. He selected dentistry for his life work, took a course in a dentist school in Philadelphia, and finished in the city of New York. Opening a dental office at Carthage, in his native State, he there followed his profession for about a year, but was compelled to seek other employment on account of ill health, and be outside of the office for three years. He was at Niles, Mich., for about one year, and in 1868 spent a few months at Evansville. Six years later he came back to this prairie city, and engaged in his profession, and here he has made his home to the present time.
Dr. ANTHONY and Miss Katie R. WHALEY, daughter of John WHALEY, were married Jan.
12, 1879. They occupy a pleasant home on Main street, and are highly thought of in the community. Dr. ANTHONY is prominent in fraternal circles, and belongs to various orders. He stands high in Masonic associations, and holds membership in Union Lodge, No. 32, A.F. & A.M.; Chapter No. 35, R.A.M., at Evansville; and Janesville Commandery, No. 2, K.T. He is also a member of Evansville Lodge, K.P.; T.L. Sutphen Post, No. 41, G.A.R.; and the Modern Woodmen, and is popular and welcome in these various associations. Dr. ANTHONY is a Republican. He enlisted at Watertown, N.Y., early in 1862, as a member of Battery D, 1st New York Light Artillery, and was discharged Dec. 4, same year, on account of serious disability. He took part in the battle of Malvern Hill, and in a number of skirmishes.
