WILLIAM M. GARNER, M. D.
    Dr. William M. Garner, an active and successful representative of the
medical fraternity at Hope, is numbered among the worthy native sons of
Arkansas, his birth having occurred in Crawford county, this state, on the 16th
of May, 1883. He was reared on a farm and supplemented his early education,
which was obtained in a country school, by a high school course at Van Buren.
When nineteen years of age he taught school during one summer term. Having
determined to become a physician, he entered the medical department of the
University of Arkansas at Little Rock and following his graduation from that
institution spent the years of 1906 and 1907 as an interne in the City Hospital
of Little Rock. He then opened an office at Catcher, this state, but a few
months later removed to Dean Springs, where he remained for a year and a half,
after which he spent six months as a medical practitioner of Uniontown.
Subsequently he was identified with the Nashville Lumber Company of Nashville
for two years, and in 1918 entered the medical department of the United States
army as first lieutenant, doing hospital duty at Fort Riley, Kansas, for ninety
days. On the expiration of his military service he opened an office at Hope,
where he has since been engaged in the general practice of medicine and surgery
with gratifying success, the number of his patients steadily increasing as he
has demonstrated his professional skill and ability. He keeps in close touch
with the most advanced thought and work of the profession through his membership
in the Hempstead County Medical Society, the Arkansas State Medical Society, the
Southern Medical Association and the American Medical Association.

    Dr. Garner wedded Miss Maude Daly and they have become the parents of three
children, namely: Fern L., Mary, who passed away at the age of five years, and
one who died in infancy. Fraternally the Doctor is identified with the Masons
and the Odd Fellows, while his religious faith is that of the Baptist church. He
conforms to the highest standard of professional ethics and is most
conscientious in the performance of his professional duties, so that his
reputation is an enviable one and his practice has assumed extensive proportions.
