JAMES W. STEPHENS, D. D. S.
    Dr. James W. Stephens, a representative of the dental profession practicing
in Pine Bluff, was born in Sheridan, Arkansas, in April, 1885, and is a son of
J. G. and S. E. (Sudduth) Stephens. The grandfather in the paternal line served
in the Confederate army and on removing westward from Georgia took up his abode
in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Dr. J. E. Stephens, a brother of Dr. James W. Stephens,
is a successful dentist practicing at Benton, this state.

    Dr. James W. Stephens was educated in the Vanderbilt University and entered
upon the practice of his profession at Sheridan, Arkansas, after having
completed a thorough and comprehensive course of study well qualifying him for
the onerous and difficult duties of the profession. He has an office well
supplied with the latest equipments and the multitudinous delicate little
instruments that are used in dental practice and he is regarded as a most
capable dental surgeon. He served as a member of the state board of dental
examiners from 1913 until 1918 and he is a prominent and valued member of the
Arkansas State Dental Society, of which he was treasurer from 1909 until 1911.
It was in the latter year that he came to Pine Bluff, where he has since
practiced, and his patronage has grown year by year.

    In 1907 Dr. Stephens was united in marriage to Miss Janie Hayes, a daughter
of W. F. Hayes of Nashville, Tennessee, and they are parents of two children:
Louise and Wilma Jean. In his fraternal relations Dr. Stephens is a Mason and
also an Odd Fellow, loyally following the teachings and purposes of these
orders, while his religious faith is that of the Baptist church. The sterling
traits of his character and the principles of his manhood have insured him a
creditable and enviable position in the regard of his fellow townsmen.
