GEORGE SIMENTON, M. D. This skillful physician, who, although not yet bowed down
with the weight of years, has still acquired a reputation in the vicinity in
which he has located for his professional knowledge and devotion to his chosen
calling. Mr. Simenton was born in Haldimand County, Ontario, Canada, March 11,
1863. He is a son of Arthur and Eliza Simenton, both natives of Ireland, the
father being born in the year 1831. He left his native land when about twelve
years of age and came with his parents to Ontario, he was reared on a farm and
followed the agricultural calling all his life.

  Our subject's father was married at the age of twenty-two to Eliza Ramsay,
daughter of Abraham Ramsay of Ireland. From this union nine children were born,
all of whom yet survive. They are Anna, Mary J., John, George, Abraham, William,
Rebecca, Maggie and Laura. The father and mother of these children were
Presbyterians in faith and brought up their family with a reverence for the
creed as taught by that church.

  Our subject began in life as a teacher and followed that work for three years.
He had meantime conceived the idea of devoting himself to the medical profession
and later became a student at the Toronto School of Medicine. He there spent
three years and graduated in 1885. Almost immediately after he came to Michigan
and located in Kingston, where he now resides and enjoys a fine practice. He has
an extensive ride in the country to many patrons who have unlimited confidence
in his knowledge and skill.

  Our subject was married December 21, 1887, to Miss Minnie Hart, a native of
Kingston. She is a daughter of Nicholas and Mary Hart and is an estimable and
attractive woman. To Dr. and Mrs. Simenton have been born two children-Murrel
and Arthur. Of these the eldest died in August, 1889. Socially our subject
belongs to Marlett Lodge, No. 343, F. & A. M. He also belongs to Newbury Lodge,
