DR. GEORGE INGRAM DEANE

   Although born in San Francisco, Dr. Deane can really call Merced County his
home; for he is the descendant of a well-known family of this section, who for
three generations have been a part of the upbuilding of Merced County. Born in
San Francisco, on March 19, 1890, G. I. Deane is the son of George C. and Clara
(Ruby) Deane. The father, a native of Merced County, born in the Cottonwood
district, was one of the first men to run a threshing machine in this section of
the State. Grandfather B. H. Deane settled in Merced County in 1850, and was one
of the early miners at Copperopolis, in the mountains, later devoting his time
to agriculture. In 1892, B. H. Deane, in company with his sons George C. and
Charles H., colonized Deane Colony. Dr. Deane's mother, Clara Ruby Deane, was
also of an early pioneer family. Her parents crossed the plains in 1855 to reach
the far west frontier, and her birth occurred in Shasta County. She now resides
in San Francisco. G. C. Deane passed away February 16, 1924.

   George Ingram Deane was educated in the grammar and high schools of Merced,
and he then entered and was later graduated from the College of Optometry of San
Francisco, and also took a postgraduate course in the Los Angeles College of his
profession. He first practiced in Richmond, Cal., for one year, and then opened
his office in Merced, where he has gained the confidence of a large clientele as
a man who thoroughly understands his work and gives it his entire attention. He
has served one term as president of the California State Association of
Optometrists, and he was sent to Chicago and New York as a special delegate to
the Educational Congress.

   The marriage of Dr. Deane, which occurred June 28, 1911, united him with Miss
Louise Wright, of Newman, Cal., a native daughter. Fraternally, the doctor
belongs to the Masons, the Eastern Star, the Elks, the Knights of Pythias, and
the Odd Fellows, and has been through all the chairs of the last two orders. He
is a member of the Rotary Club. In professional organizations he belongs to the
Central California Association of Optometrists, the California State Association
of Optometrists and the American Optometric Association.
