JOHN WILLIAM SEYBOLD, M.D., D.D.S.

	Dr. John William Seybold, one of the best known dental surgeons 
of the west, devoting practically his entire time to dental surgery, 
occupies a fine suite of rooms in the Mack block in Denver, where he 
has several assistants. Constant study and experience have placed him 
in the front rank of the representatives of the profession, for he has 
a nature that could never be content with mediocrity.

	Dr. Seybold was born in Kearney, Nebraska, February 26, 1882, a 
son of William Leonard and Alice (Garnett) Seybold, the former a native 
of Ohio, while the latter was born in Alabama. They were early pioneers 
of Nebraska, where the father established himself in the cattle 
business. He continued to reside in that state for many years and 
afterward came to Colorado, where he spent three years. On the 
expiration of that period he returned to Nebraska and is still living 
at Kearney, where he is now active in cattle raising. His wife passed 
away there in 1895. William L. Seybold has been married twice and has 
become the father of five children, two of whom were born of the first 
marriage and three of the second. They are John W., Oscar, Samuel, 
Alice and Fred.

	Dr. John W. Seybold attended the public schools of Kearney, 
Nebraska, and afterward entered the University of Illinois, from which 
he was graduated with the Bachelor of Arts degree. He then took up the 
study of medicine in that institution and won his professional degree 
as a member of the class of 1903. The same year he came to Denver and 
matriculated in the University of Denver, in which he won the degree of 
Doctor of Dental Surgery in 1908. Since that time he has devoted his 
entire attention to dental surgery, specializing in oral surgery and in 
gas oxygen anaesthesia. He is a progressive young professional man 
whose reputation as an anesthetist already has spread far beyond the 
boundaries of Colorado. He is making very rapid strides in oral surgery 
and his progress will place him at the top before many years go by. His 
success is due to his own personality and stability of purpose and his 
qualities are such that he will never stand still but will keep pushing 
his business to the limit, ambitious to acquire the highest degree of 
efficiency possible. He belongs to the National Dental Association, the 
State and City Dental Associations, the Interstate Association of 
Anesthetists and the American Association of Anesthetists, and he 
practices in all of the hospitals in Denver.

	On the 4th of May, 1916. Dr. Seybold was married in Littleton, 
Colorado, to Miss Julia E. Fisher, whose father is well known as the 
deputy county clerk of Fairplay, Colorado. Mrs. Seybold has a wide 
acquaintance in hospital circles, tor she is a graduate nurse of the 
Park Avenue Hospital of Denver and she is head assistant of her husband 
in his surgical clinic.

	Fraternally Dr. Seybold is connected with the Benevolent 
Protective Order of Elks and he is an active and prominent member of 
the Denver Athletic Club. He enjoys sports of all kinds but is not 
active in secret organizations although a member of a few. He finds 
great pleasure, however, in bowling and in almost everything in the 
sporting line. He is an easy and fluent public speaker and when he 
expresses an opinion in public it is always worth while. His religion 
finds expression in his generosity and benevolence to the poor and 
needy. His professional colleagues and contemporaries speak of him in 
terms of high regard, while those who meet him socially entertain for 
him the warmest esteem.
