JAMES EDWIN WILLIAMS, M. D.

	Dr. James Edwin Williams, actively engaged in the practice of 
medicine and surgery in Denver, was born in Columbus, Ohio, June 1, 
1883, and in professional ranks has attained a position that many a man 
of twice his years might well envy. His father, George W. Williams, was 
born in Newark, Ohio, prepared for the bar and devoted many years of 
his life to the active practice of law. He also served for a time as 
county judge but is now living retired in Columbus, Ohio. He married 
Eva Shoemaker, a native of Columbus, and she too, survives. They were 
the parents of tour children but only two are living, James Edwin and a 
sister.

	At the usual age J. Edwin Williams became a pupil in the public 
schools of his native city and passed through consecutive grades to his 
graduation from the, high school with the class of 1903. He afterward 
entered the Starling Medical College of Columbus and won his 
professional degree upon graduation with the class of 1907. He then did 
special work in the treatment of diseases of the eye, ear, nose and 
throat in Columbus for a year and devoted a year and a half to general 
surgery. He later gave his attention to the general practice of 
medicine and in 1908 he left Ohio to become a resident of Denver, 
Colorado, where he has since remained. During the intervening period of 
ten years he has built up a large and successful practice and is 
regarded as one of the most capable physicians of the city. He has 
studied broadly, thinks deeply and is conversant with the most advanced 
ideas and scientific research work of the profession, and he is quick 
to adapt any new thought or discovery to the particular needs of his 
practice.

	In 1908 Dr. Williams was married to Miss Alnette Austin, a native 
of Ohio and a daughter of W. P. Austin, of Denver. She has, however, 
been a resident of Colorado for twenty years. Their children are: Edwin 
Austin, born in the old Shoemaker residence on Cleveland avenue, 
Columbus, Ohio, October 8, 1908; and Ainette Evelyn, born April 19, 
1911, in Denver. Both are now in school. Dr. Williams is a Mason, 
belonging to Henry M. Teller Lodge, No. 144, A. F. & A. M.; also to 
South Denver Chapter, No. 42, R. A. M.; and to Ascalon Commandery, No. 
31, K. T. He is likewise a member of Phi Beta Phi, Phi Sigma Psi, Alpha 
Kappa Kappa and Theta Nu Epsilon, Greek letter fraternities. He is a 
man of fine physique, of excellent presence and genial manner and his 
social qualities as well as his professional ability have made for 
popularity during the period of his residence in Denver.
