CLYNE, M. D. Among the successful practitioners of Joliet may be mentioned Dr. Clyne, who located in the city in the fall of 1886. He is the surgeon of the Chicago & Alton Railroad, and aside from this enjoys a lucrative practice in the city and vicinity. He is also a member of St. Joseph's Hospital Staff. He was born at Cohoes, N. Y., March 2, 1860, and is the son of James Clyne. The latter was also a native of New York State, where he was reared to manhood and married Miss Catherine Quinn. The mother of our subject was born in the northern part of New York, near the early home of her husband, and both are still living at Cohoes. Dr. Clyne pursued his early studies in the common schools of his native city, and supplemented them by a course in the Business College at Cohoes, being a student in the class of 1878. He began the study of medicine in his native town, under the instruction of Dr. D. W. Houston and in due time entered upon a course of lectures at the Albany Medical College, which he commenced attending in the fall of 1883, and from which he was graduated in the class of 1886. While there, after a successful examination, he received a hospital appointment and remained in Albany until May, 1886, in the meantime having charge of a physicians practice in the northern part of the State. Soon after coming to Joliet, Dr. Clyne associated himself in partnership with Dr. G. C. Raynor, one of the prominent physicians of the city. Two years later he was appointed city physician, which position he still holds. He still belongs to Albany Medical Society, also the Will County Medical Society, and is the Medical Examiner for various life insurance companies. He is prominently connected with the Independent Order of Foresters, and is the court physician of the same. He has entered upon a successful career in connection with his chosen calling, to which he devotes his close attention and in which he is ambitious to excel. Politically, Dr. Clyne is a Democrat.
