ARTHUR H. DOUGLAS, D. D. S., was born near Richfield, Macomb County, this State,
November 8, 1865, and is the son of Henry F. and Mary (Inwood) Douglas, the
former being a native of Michigan and the latter of England. The father was born
in Troy, in 1832, and was a farmer until he was thirty-two years of age, at
which time he took up the study of dentistry. Having fitted himself for practice
he located at Richmond and undertook his profession and in 1869 he removed to
Fenton where he practiced until his death, in December, 1890. He was a Deacon in
the Baptist Church and a prominent and highly respected citizen and was of
Scotch extraction. The mother, who is still living, is also a zealous member of
the Baptist Church.

  Every one of the five children of these parents is still in this life. The
public schools of Fenton furnished the educational advantages of which our
subject was able to avail himself, and he worked with his father and
familiarized himself with the work of dentistry. In the fall of 1888 he entered
the Vanderbuilt University at Nashville, Tenn., and took a full course in the
Dental Department, graduating in the spring of 1890. He then entered upon the
practice of dentistry in the office with his father, and since the death of that
parent he has carried on the business.

  In the spring of 1891 Dr. Douglas was united in marriage with Miss Mary Smith,
daughter of Deveraux Smith, a prominent farmer of Tyrone, and a native of
England. Our subject is a young man of much promise, as he is both intelligent
and enterprising and has a fine command of his profession. In his neat office he
has a well stocked library, both professional and literary, and he and his bride
are honored members of society.
