GLEN YEAMANS, D. D. S.
Dr. Glen Yeamans, one of the leading dentists of Minneapolis, was born in
Mil­waukee, Wisconsin, January 16, 1881, the son of Merton L. and Carrie
(LaCraft) Yeamans. His parents moved to Watertown, South Dakota, while he was in
his infancy, so it was in the public schools of that place that he received his
early education. He studied dentistry in the dental college of Northwestern
University, at Chicago, Illinois, graduating in 1903, with the D. D. S. degree.
By way of rounding out his preparation for his life's work he took a special
course at Rochester, Minnesota, at the famous hospital and clinics under the
direction of the Mayo brothers. He has always specialized in extraction work and
oral surgery, to which he devoted especial attention during; his student
courses. Dr. Yeamans started his active practice as a partner of Dr. C. W.
Stutenroth of Watertown, South Dakota, with whom he had already formed pleasant
professional relations. In 1899, before he went to Northwestern, Glen Yeamans
entered Dr. Stutenroth's office as an understudy and assisted him in his
practice throughout the long college vacations, gaining a considerable
experience in his chosen profession which aided him greatly in making a
practical application of the scientfic knowledge gained in the class room and
laboratory. After a long period of work in Watertown, during which he enjoyed a
large clientele drawn from the entire surrounding territory, Dr. Yeamans sought
a wider field for his activities. Accordingly, in 1920, he moved to Minneapolis
to open an office and establish a new practice in the larger city. Here he has
met with unequivocal success and was shortly recognized as one of the foremost
men in the dental profession in the city.
Dr. Yeamans is an Episcopalian in his religious belief and holds republican
views on politics. He is a Mason of high rank, belonging to the blue lodge,
chapter and com-mandery of Watertown, South Dakota, and Zuhrah Temple of the
Mystic Shrine in Minneapolis. He is also a life member of the Watertown Lodge,
No. 838, Benevolent Protective Order of Elks and during his student days was
initiated into the brotherhood of Delta Sigma Delta, a dental fraternity. He is
likewise affiliated with the Knights of Pythias. In connection with his
professional work Dr. Yeamans maintains member­ship in the state and national
dental associations and the Minneapolis District Dental Society. At college he
was an enthusiastic participant in all the outdoor athletics and was the
half-back on the college football team for three years. He still retains his
love of the open-air sports and is particularly fond of golf. Realizing the many
benefits to be derived from the proper recreation and physical exercise, as well
as the game's attractions purely as a pastime, Dr. Yeamans spends many hours at
golf in the summer time and is a player of no mean skill. He is a man of high
character and fine personality and has won many friends in the few years he has
made his home in Minneapolis.
