JAMES FRANK BLAKEMORE, D. D. S.
    One of the youngest members of the dental profession in Arkansas is Dr.
James Frank Blakemore, who has been practicing here since July, 1919. He is a
native of this state, his birth having occurred at Prairie Grove in 1898, a son
of T. M. and Jennie (Allen) Blakemore. His father is now engaged in farming at
Prairie Grove.

    James Frank Blakemore is the youngest of seven children born to his parents,
and he was reared in Prairie Grove. After graduating from the high school there
he entered the St. Louis University and received his degree of D. D. S. in June,
1919. During the World war he enlisted in the Medical Reserve Corps and upon
completion of his dental course he was to have received a commission in the
army. In 1918 he was transferred to the Students Army Training Corps. He never
received his commission in the army, becuse the armistice was signed before he
completed his course. In July, 1919, he came to Van Buren and in spite of his
youth he has built up a large and lucrative practice.

    On February 25, 1921, Dr. Blakemore was united in marriage to Miss Glenn
Goldsby, a daughter of Mrs. Lora Goldsby of Fort Smith. Fraternally Dr.
Blakemore is identified with the Masons and the Knights of Pythias, and he
likewise holds membership in Delta Sigma Delta, a college fraternity. In the
line of his profession he is indentified with the National and State Dental
Associations and as a citizen always interested in the development and
improvement of the community, he is active in the interests of the Rotary Club
and the Business Men's Club of Van Buren. In his practice he is always careful
and he is conscientious in the performance of his professional duties. His
colleagues recognize his worth and ability, and that public opinion is favorable
to him is indicated in the liberal patronage accorded him.
