H. L. SWAN, D. D. S.
     Dentistry may be said to be almost unique among other occupations, as it is
at once a profession, a trade and a business. Such being the case, it follows
that in order to attain the highest success in it one must be thoroughly
conversant with the theory of the sciences, must be expert with the many tools
and appliances incidental to the practice of modern dentistry and must possess
business qualifications adequate to dealing with the financial side of the
profession. In all of these particulars Dr. H. L. Swan is well qualified and
therefore has attained prestige among the able representatives of dentistry in
Hot Springs. His birth occurred in Kalamazoo, Michigan, on the 14th of January,
1877, his parents being William L. and Sarah J. (Rouse) Swan, the former a
native of New York, while the latter was horn in Canada. The father, who was a
minister of the Universalist church, came to Arkansas after putting aside the
active work of his holy calling and spent his last days in retirement at Hot
Springs, where he died January 19, 1921. The mother, who survives, now makes her
home with her son, Dr. Swan.

    In the acquirement of his education H. L. Swan attended the public schools
of Michigan and Iowa, while his professional training was received in the Kansas
City Dental College, which institution conferred upon him the degree of D. D. S.
Following his graduation he at once located in Hot Springs and has here remained
throughout the intervening years, building up an extensive and profitable
practice which has been accorded him in recognition of his marked skill and
ability as a representative of the dental profession. He belongs to both the
Arkansas State Dental Association and the Southwestern Dental Association.

    On the 28th of May, 1901, Dr. Swan was united in marriage to Miss Loretta
Power of Jackson, Michigan, and they have become parents of a daughter, Mabel L.
The Doctor is a member of the Business Men's League and is highly esteemed as a
citizen, while his reputation as a practitioner of dentistry is a most enviable
one.
