    CLEMENT RITTER, M. D., a young and promising medical practitioner at Selma,
Ala., was born in Carthage, Moore county, N. C., in 1867. His father, Thomas
Wesley Ritter, now deceased, was a prominent citizen and politician in North
Carolina, in which state he was born. He was descended from an old and highly
respected North Carolina family, which was probably of German origin. The mother
of Dr. Ritter was Julia Ann (Caddell) Ritter, who also was a native of North
Carolina and of an ancient North Carolina family. The doctor is one of a family
of three children, two sons and one daughter. He was reared in his native
county, and received his literary education at Wake Forest college, N. C. He
left college at the age of twenty years, and began the study of medicine at High
Point, N. C., under Dr. J. R. Brown. He entered the Louisville Medical college,
in 1888, where he took one course of lectures, and then entered Jefferson
Medical college at Philadelphia, graduating in 1890. He then spent a short time
in North Carolina. From May 1 to October, 1890, he practiced his profession at
Fort Payne, Ala., and in October, 1890, located at Selma, where he has since
remained. He has, in a comparatively short time, secured a large and profitable
practice, which is steadily increasing, and his reputation as a successful
physician and surgeon is rapidly extending. He is a member of the Alabama State
Medical association, of the Dallas county Medical society, and of the latter is
a vice-president. He is also an Odd Fellow and Knight of Pythias, and a
reputable citizen.
