Bowen & Co., Chicago, Ill. --------------------------------------- Dr. Warren Hugh Twining Dr. Warren Hugh Twining, of Aspen, Pitkin county, is one of the leading and most highly esteemed professional men and citizens of his section of the state, having a high rank in his profession and holding an elevated and enviable place in the regard and good will of his fellow men. He is a native of Dane county, Wisconsin, where he was born on January 12, 1875, and is the son of Hugh A. and Elmira A. (Field) Twining, the former born in Buffalo, New York, and the latter at Mount Vernon, Vermont. At an early age the father migrated to Wisconsin where he was engaged in farming with success until 1880, when he came to Colorado and located on Clear creek, near the town of Georgetown. Here he was occupied in the real-estate business and mining until his death, in 1898. He was a prominent Freemason and a Patriotic Son of America, holding the office of state master of forms and ceremonies in the organization of the latter order. In religious affiliation he was an Episcopalian. His widow survived him two years, passing away in 1900. They had three children, Sarah L. Florence A., and Warren Hugh, the Doctor, all of whom are living. The last named was educated at the public schools, taking an elementary and a high-school course. After leaving school he served as assistant postmaster at Georgetown, and in 1896 entered the Gross Medical College at Denver, where he was graduated in 1900. He served a year as house physician at St. Joseph's Hospital in Denver, and afterward as assistant surgeon at the Rock Springs (Wyoming) Hospital. In the latter part of 1901 he located at Aspen, and since then has been actively engaged in the practice of his profession in and around that city. Although the time of his residence and work at this point has been short, he has built up a good patronage and won an excellent reputation as a physician and surgeon. He is secretary of the United States board of examining surgeons of Pitkin county, and in all professional lines is energetic and diligent. He is also interested in mining and owns a fruit ranch of great productiveness at Montrose. In the fraternal life of the community he takes a zealous and helpful interest, being connected with several of the benevolent associations. He was married December 31, 1903, to Miss Lula B. Goodson, a native of Hopkins, Missouri, and the daughter of the late Dr. Goodson, a well known physician and public spirited citizen of that place. =================================================== Contributed for use by the USGenWeb Archive Project (http://www.usgenweb.org) and by the COGenWeb Archive Project USGENWEB NOTICE: These electronic pages may NOT be reproduced in any format for profit or presentation by other organization or persons.
