H. Bentley Dr. Byron E. Artman, physician and surgeon, of Cheney, Kan., was born September 19, 1853, in Indianapolis, Ind. His parents were A. and Mary Artman, of Kansas. On the paternal side the ancestry of the family is traced back to the Puritan stock, the paternal great-grandmother of the doctor having come to this country from Holland with William Penn. The maternal ancestry is traced to Scotland. The parents of the doctor located in Westport, Mo., in 1851, but later moved to Olathe, Kan., where the elder Artman is now living, a successful carpenter and contractor, at the age of eighty. Byron E. Artman's education was acquired in the district schools of Kansas. He entered the Eclectic Medical College in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1880, and graduated in the class of 1888 with the degree of M. D. He began practice first in Henry county, Missouri, where he remained one year, and then removed to the state of Oregon, where he remained six years and built up a successful practice. He then returned to Kansas and located in Garden Plain, Sedgwick county, in 1894, and practiced his profession there nearly ten years, and in December, 1904, located in Cheney, where he enjoys a large and lucrative practice, built up by the successful treatment of his patients. In Cheney he maintains a hospital where he has from one to five patients all the time, and since the hospital was established he has never lost a patient. Fraternally the doctor is a member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. He is a member of the Eclectic Medical Association of Kansas and Oregon and the National Eclectic Association of the United States. He is entitled to practice in four different states by virtue of his diploma, viz., Kansas, Oregon, Missouri and Ohio.
