        JOHNSON N. McCARTNEY. M. D. A resident of Florida since 1908, Doctor 
McCartney for several years abandon his profession as a physician and surgeon
to engage in business on the west coast, and while there he answered the call 
of patriotic duty, served as a medical officer in the World war in France. For
the past two years he has been busily engaged in the work of his profession at
Buena Vista, the choicest suburban and residential section of Miami.
	Doctor McCartney was born in 1875 at Grant in Montgomery County, Iowa,
and was reared and acquired his early education there. He pursued the study of
medicine in the Hahnemann Medical College at Chicago, where he graduated in
1897. Though he trained as a homeopath, he has been a practitioner of the
regular school for a number of years and is a member of the American Medical
Association. Doctor McCartney was engaged in practice at Sioux City, Iowa,
until 1908, and on coming to Florida it was his intention to retire from his
profession and engage in business and development projects on the west coast.
He built the first completed house at Lynn Haven on St. Andrews Bay in Bay
County. For some time he was also located at Melrose in Alachua County.
	While at Melrose he enlisted, on August 1, 1917, in the Medical Corps 
of the United States Army, entered the Medical Officers Training Camp at Fort 
Oglethorpe, Georgia, and was commissioned first lieutenant. In December, 1917, 
he was promoted to captain, went to France the same month, and was assigned to 
duty in Base Hospital No. 66 at Neufchateau in the Department of the Vosges in 
an advanced sector of the American front. While there he was promoted to major,
and for several months his duties were largely executive. Major McCartney
return to America in command of Base Hospital No. 66 in March, 1917, and was
discharged the same month.
	In April, 1919, he established himself in the practice of his
profession at Buena Vista, the prosperous northern suburb of the City of Miami.
He handles a general practice, but to some degree makes a specialty of
obstetrics and is regarded as one of the most competent and successful
physicians in the city. He is a member of the County and State as well is the
American Medical associations.
	Doctor McCartney married Miss WAVIE KINZER, of Savannah, Missouri.
Their four children are MARY KATE, LUCY, JANE and ERNEST.
