JAMES P. BALMER, D. D. S. This popular dentist of Fenton, whose elegantly
equipped dental parlors have the latest improvements in electrical appointments,
stands high in the social circles of this place and deserves marked credit for
having attained by his own struggles his present excellent position, both
professionally and socially. He was born in Kent County, Ontario, Canada,
September 30, 1858, and is a son of John and Margaret (Cameron) Balmer.

  The father was born in Roxbyshire, Scotland and at the age of eleven came to
America with his parents where he grew to manhood in the township of Caledon,
Peel County, Canada and he still resides on a farm in Kent County. The mother
died in 1858, leaving three children, all of whom are now living. By a second
marriage the father had three children.

  Our subject was reared upon a farm and received a district school education
and in 1881 entered the Philadelphia Dental College, graduating therefrom in the
spring of 1883. In October of that year he located in Fenton where he has since
practiced his profession. He was married in October, 1882, to Mary Jane Walters,
who was also born in Kent County in the township of Harwich and is a daughter of
Henry Walters, a native of the same county, and a farmer by occupation. Both
parents are still living. The two children of our subject are Arthur J. and
Lester W.

  The political views which receive the endorsement of our subject are those
which are advanced by the Republican party. He is a member of the Foresters and
of the order of Odd Fellows. Both he and his wife are members of the Baptist
Church and prominent members of the social circles of Fenton.
