- CHARLES C. DEVEREAUX is a fine example of the younger generation
of Wisconsin's native
- sons. He is a skilled dentist of Janesville, Rock County,
and has come to the practice of his profession trained in the
best schools of the country, representing the ripest scientific
culture of the times.
- Dr. DEVEREAUX was born in Evansville, Wis., Feb. 26, 1868,
son of Edward and Eva
- (WHALEY) DEVEREAUX, natives of New York and Ohio, respectively.
They were the parents of four sons and four daughters, and six
of their children are now living: Theodore E., of Fort Dodge,
Iowa; Harry C., of Algona, Iowa; Charles C.; Claude H., of Humboldt,
Iowa; Lula B., wife of Albert DIXON, of Evansville, Wis.; and
Kittie D., wife of Arthur SNASHALL, of the same place. The sons
are all dentists of high professional character and unusual ability.
Edward DEVEREAUX was a cheese and butter maker for many years,
and was an early settler in Rock County. The first few years
of his residence in Wisconsin were passed in Milwaukee. He moved
to Evansville, which city is still his home; his wife died there
Dec. 16, 1899. He is a member of the Baptist Church, as was also
Mrs. DEVEREAUX. His father, Theodore DEVEREAUX, spent his early
life in the State of New York, and died in Iowa, well advanced
in years. The DEVEREAUX family were originally French, but has
lived many generations in this country, and ranks among the oldest
and proudest in New England and New York. The maternal grandfather
of the subject of this writing died when a young man.
- Charles C. DEVEREAUX was reared on the farm near Evansville,
attended the public schools,
- and lived on the farm until he was twenty years old. He selected
dentistry as his life work, and went into the office of Dr. Theodore
DEVEREAUX where he studied until 1891. That fall he entered the
Haskell Post Graduate Dental College, and completed the course
there. He continued with his brother until 1893, in which year
he entered the Chicago College of Dental Surgery, and was graduated
with honor in the spring of 1896. He resumed practice with his
brother at Fort Dodge, Iowa, and remained with him until January,
1898, when he came to Janesville and opened an office, and at
once commanded a flattering clientage from among the best people
of the city.
- Dr. DEVEREAUX is popular in fraternal circles, and is a member
of Union Lodge, No. 32, A.F.
- & A.M.; Evansville Chapter, No. 5, R.A.M.; the A.O.U.W.;
the Royal Arcanum; and the Royal League; when at college he joined
the Delta Sigma, and retains an active interest in that fraternity,
holding his membership in Beta Chapter, and also in the Supreme
Chapter. In these various associations his manly and genial character
has never failed to command respect and win him warm personal
friends. He is an active worker in the Southern Wisconsin Dental
Association, where his learning and skill are recognized. In
politics he is a Republican.
