Doggett, Franklin County, Missouri >From "History of Franklin, Jefferson, Washington, Crawford and Gasconade Counties", Biographical Appendix, Goodspeed Publishing Company, 1888. ********************************************************************** Dr. G. W. Doggett, a resident dentist at New Haven, was born in Frank- lin County, Mo., in 1856, and is the son of Miller and Lillie Ann (Garner) Doggett, natives of Tennessee, who came to Missouri when young and were married about 1848. They located two and a half miles below New Haven, and there passed the remainder of their lives, both dying about 1872, and both members of the Christian Church. Our subject re- ceived a fair education, and remained at home until after the death of his parents. He worked on a farm for a while, and then went to New Haven, where he had the advantage of a school for some time. He then went to Kansas, where he remained two years, then returned to New Haven, worked on a farm during the summer and attended school during the winter. In 1877 and 1878 he began the study of dentistry under Dr. Hamilton Clute, and in 1880 and 1881 attended the Dental College at St. Louis. He commenced the practice of his profession in 1878 and for some years had an extensive traveling practice in Osage and Gasconade Counties. In 1882 he bought out his former preceptor and has since been located at New Haven, where he has an excellent practice. In 1882 he married Miss Etta S. Bendel, a native of Illinois, and the daughter of H. R. and Eliza Bendel. To the Doctor and wife were born three children, two now living: Elmore E., Ella and Hattie (twins, the latter deceased). In 1885 the Doctor was elected city alderman, re-elected in 1887, and has since held the office. He is a Democrat in his political views, and cast his first presidential vote for Gen. Hancock, in 1880. He is a prominent member of the A. O. U. W., and Mrs. Doggett is a member of the Christian Church. ==================================================================== USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, data may be used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
