     DR. CHARLES J. DEAN, M. D., D. S., F. A. S. PR., who has been engaged in 
the practice of medicine in Portland for seventeen years, has earned a place 
in the front rank of his profession through his ability and success as a 
practitioner, particularly in his special field of work, in which he is 
regarded as an authority. Dr. Dean was born in Mitchell, South Dakota, in 
December, 1883, and is the only child of Ogden W. and Mary W. (Dowdell) Dean, 
who were married in that city. His father, who was long actively engaged in 
business affairs, is now retired, though still enjoying vigorous health. His 
mother, who is a direct descendant of Lord Willoughby, a passenger on 
the "Mayflower," has always been very active in civic affairs. She formerly 
published the Cheeryble Magazine in Chicago and was a candidate for alderman 
in that city.

     Dr. Dean received his early educational training in the public schools of 
Chicago, and St. Ignatius College, then entered the medical department of 
Loyola University, from which he was graduated with the degree of Doctor of 
Medicine in 1909. In June of the following year he came to Oregon, locating in 
Baker City, where he practiced for about a year, and in 1811 he opened an 
office in Portland, where he has practiced continuously to the present time. 
He specializes in proctology and diseases of the colon, in the treatment of 
which he has met with remarkable success, and commands a large and lucrative 
practice. He is now at the head of the Dean Rectal and Colon Clinic, the 
largest medical association of its kind in the country, having offices in 
Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Portland, each branch being in charge 
of a local managing physician. The organization has been very successful, its 
patients coming from all over the country.

     Dr. Dean married Miss Flo Thornton, of Evanston, Illinois, who died in 
January, 1925. To them was born a son, Ogden T., who is now a student at 
Columbia University. On the completion of his preliminary education, he will 
take up the study of medicine. On July 9, 1927, Dr. Dean married Miss Marie R. 
Rogers, of Canton, Illinois. He is a member of the Benevolent Protective Order 
of Elks, and the Alderwood Country Club and is a Fellow of the American 
Academy of Ambunant Proctologists. He is a great lover of outdoor life, golf 
and fishing being his favorite forms of recreation. Though a busy man 
professionally, he maintains a constant interest in the welfare of his 
community and can always be counted upon to support measures for the 
advancement of the public good. Kindly and gracious in manner, he has a large 
circle of loyal friends throughout Portland, who esteem him highly because of 
his ability and success, as well as for his many excellent qualities.
