   Dr. Francis Milton Mahin, of Cheney, Kan., is a practitioner of the regular
school. He was born August 4, 1869, in White county, Indiana. His remote
ancestors on the maternal side are traced to Germany and on the paternal side to
Scotland. His parents emigrated from Indiana to Elk county, Kansas, in 1880, and
resided there twelve years, when the father went to Arkansas City, Kan., and
resided until 1908, and from there to Chicago, Ill., where he now lives and is
engaged in the commission business. The early education of Dr. Mahin was
acquired in the schools of Elk county and at the Baker University, at Baldwin,
Kan. He graduated in the State Normal School at Emporia in the class of 1898,
and while there represented the State Normal School in the Interstate Oratorical
contest. He then entered the University of Louisville, Ky., from which he was
graduated in the class of 1904, with the degree of M. D. After the doctor
acquired his education he began practice in Baldwin, Kan., where he remained one
year; then in Arkansas City one year, and came to Cheney in 1906. Dr. Mahin is a
member of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Cheney, a member of the board of
trustees, and the choral leader of the Sunday School. He is a Republican in
politics but not a hide-bound one, as if he thinks there are better men
nominated on the opposing tickets he will vote for them. Dr. Mahin was married
on June 13, 1905, to Miss Margaret Tangeman, daughter of William and Margaret
Tangeman, both natives of Germany. Mrs. Mahin is a cultured and literary lady.
Her education was acquired in the public schools of Newton county. Kansas, and
at the State Normal School at Emporia. Dr. and Mrs. Mahin have two
children—Margaret and Jane.

   The doctor is specially fitted to treat chronic diseases, having all the
latest equipment, such as is found in the larger cities. He keeps his reading up
to date through his large library and the leading scientific and medical
journals of the day. He now controls a large general practice.

   Fraternally the doctor is a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows
and the Modern Woodmen of America. He is the medical examiner for the following
life insurance companies: Union Central, Hartford Life, Bankers' Life of Iowa,
Mutual of New York and the Modern Woodmen.
