Oliver P. McCartney, M.D.

	Dr. O.P. McCartney was born at Louisville, Kentucky, on September 6, 1869, and

is the son of Joseph C. and Mary F. (Perry) McCartney, the father a native of

Kentucky and the mother of Georgia.  She moved to Kentucky when she was a young

lady and was married there.  The father was a physician and surgeon and

practiced at Louisville and later at North Fork, Indiana, where he and his wife

are now living.  Three of their five children are living, Dr. Oliver being the

youngest.  He grew to manhood in his native city and was educated in its public

schools.  In 1887 he began the study of medicine, but on account of failing

eyesight was obliged to abandon it for a time.  In 1892 he came to Colorado and

located at Denver, dividing his time between that city and points in Boulder

county.  He was graduated from the Gross Medical College at Denver in 1901, and

for two years thereafter practiced in Boulder county, then moved to Delta where

he has since been actively engaged in practice with an expanding patronage and a

growing reputation, both in his profession and as a progressive, wise and useful

citizen.  In politics he is independent.  On April 19, 1893, he was married to

Miss Annie Barnes Mason, a native of Port Hope, Canada.  They have one child,

Vera Florence.  Dr. McCartney has the interest of the community in which he has

cast his lot earnestly at heart and omits no effort on his part to push forward

its development and enduring welfare.
