F. P. VINES, M. D.
    Dr. F. P. Vines, a well-known representative of the medical profession at El
Dorado, was born in Hillsboro, Arkansas, on the 4th of October, 1877. His
youthful days were spent as a farm-bred boy. He worked in the fields through the
summer months and until the harvests were gathered in the late autumn, and he
also assisted in the operation of a sawmill and cotton gin. His educational
privileges were those accorded by the public schools of Junction City, and later
he attended Ouachita College, while afterward he became a student in the
Westminster College at Dallas, Texas. Still ambitious to promote his
intellectual development and thus qualify for responsible and important duties
in life, he matriculated in the Memphis College of Memphis, Tennessee, and was
graduated in 1903. He next attended Tulane University as a medical student. and
since graduating there he has pursued five postgraduate courses in Tulane. Wide
reading has kept him in touch with the trend of modern professional advancement,
and he has been very successful in the field of general medical practice and
surgery.

    Dr. Vines first opened an office in Hillsboro, his native town, where he
remained from 1903 until 1905. The succeeding seven years were spent at Strong,
Arkansas, and in 1912 he went to Hot Springs, where he remained until 1917. In
that year he removed to Bauxite, where he practiced until coming to El Dorado in
July, 1921. Already he has gained a good practice here. He belongs to the Union
County Medical Society, the Arkansas State Medical Society, the Southern Medical
Association and the American Medical Association. He is conscientious in the
performance of all of his professional duties, carefully diagnosing his cases
and meeting all the requirements that are made upon the physician of the modern
day.

    Dr. Vines is likewise widely known through his fraternal connections, having
membership with the Masons, the Knights of Pythias and the Modern Woodmen.
