     Dr. James Gordon DeVane was a general practioner in the years

he was born in 1886.
     He was a graduate of Southern College of Medicine and Surgery in
Atlanta.  He married Miss Lottie Bell Patills of Atlanta in 1911. 
They had 2 children, Mrs. Margaret (Jack) Parrish, and James G.

     Before coming to Adel, Dr. DeVane practived in Winter Garden,
Florida, and in Nashville, Georgia.  Preparations had been made for
his entering World War I when the Armistice was signed.
     When adel was hit by the "flu" epidemic in November, 1918, he
administered and cared for his stroicken patients - entire families
in some cases.  Nearing collapse, he brought prescriptions in to the
drug store for his patients and went home for his first night's rest
in several days.  Within 24 hours the young doctor died -- a victim 
of the terrible epidemic.
