J. Clarke WARREN S. WHITTLE, D. D. S. Dr. Warren S. Whittle, engaged in the practice of dentistry in Pine Bluff, where his well equipped office is supplied with all the delicate little instruments that constitute the tools of dental surgery, has gained a liberal patronage during the period of his residence here and his business is steadily growing. A native of St. Louis, Missouri, Dr. Whittle was born in 1894, his parents being T. W. and Iva (Stewart) Whittle, the former a native of Columbia, Missouri, while the latter was born in Fulton, that state. The Whittle family is of English lineage and was founded in Missouri by the grandfather of Dr. Whittle, who settled there in pioneer days. The Stewarts were originally from Scotland, although the family has been found in America for a very extended period. In the family of T. W. and Iva (Stewart) Whittle there were three children: Thomas W., Jr., Sybil and Warren S. Spending his youthful days under the parental roof, Dr. Whittle pursued his education in the schools of Columbia, Missouri, and in the State University at that place, thus gaining a broad and liberal classical education before entering upon preparation for his professional activity. He also attended the Washington University of St. Louis and afterward became a student in the Kansas City Dental College, from which in due course of time he was graduated. Following America's entrance into the World war Dr. Whittle enlisted for service in the army and was commissioned a first lieutenant in the Dental Corps, with which, he served overseas for eight months as a member of the One Hundred and Thirty-eighfrh Infantry, while later he was with the Headquarters Company of the Seventh Army Corps. He remained with the army until mustered out with the rank of captain in July, 1919. With his return to America, Dr. Whittle settled in Pine Bluff, where he opened a dental office in the Citizens Bank building, and here he has remained in the active work of his profession. Fraternally he is connected with the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks and also with the American Legion, being in hearty sympathy with the plans of that organization to "carry on" just as earnestly and effectively in behalf of American institutions and ideals in times of peace as they did when serving on the western front in Europe, during the period of conflict with Germany. Dr. Whittle is also identified throngh membership relations with the local, state and national dental societies and thus keeps in touch with the proceedings of these bodies, whereby he is thoroughly informed concerning the results of modern scientific research and discovery in the field of dental practice.
