J. Clarke Publishing Company HENRY CLINE FIXOTT, D. M. D., F. A. C. D. Dr. Henry Cline Fixott holds a foremost place in the dental profession in Portland, being not only a skillful practitioner but also an able diagnostician and an expert X-ray operator. He was born in Arichat, Nova Scotia, in 1879, and is a son of John St. George and Maretta (Treen) Fixott. His father crossed the border into the United States in 1880 and was successful in his affairs. In 1898 he joined the gold rush to the Klondike. He was a railroad contractor, with which exception six generations of the family were physicians. Both parents are deceased, the mother dying in 1921 and the father in 1924. Two of their sons are living, Henry Cline and John Henry Gruchy. Henry C. Fixott received his early education in the public schools of St. Paul, Minnesota, where the family lived first after arriving in this country. From there he made his way westward to the coast, locating in Seattle, Washington, and subsequently taking up his permanent abode in Portland. Here he entered the North Pacific Dental College, from which he was graduated with the degree of Doctor of Dental Medicine in 1906. He devoted his attention to the active practice of his profession until 1917, when he took up dental diagnosis and X-ray work, which now demands his entire time. He has attractively furnished and well equipped offices in the Medical-Dental building and is meeting with notable success. Along strictly professional lines he has membership in the Portland District Dental Society, which he served as president in 1925; the Oregon State Dental Association, of which he was president in 1914-15; the American Dental Association; and Psi Omega Dental Fraternity and Omicron Kappa Upsilon Honorary Dental Fraternity. In 1927 he was made a Fellow of the American College of Dentists. Dr. Fixott takes an active interest in these organizations and is one of the prominent and influential representatives of his profession in Oregon. He was the founder of the Northwest Journal of Dentistry and is its present editor. In 1909, at Milwaukie, Oregon, Dr. Fixott was united in marriage to Miss Eva Jane Scott, who was born in Milwaukie, of which locality her father was a pioneer. Dr. and Mrs. Fixott are the parents of three sons, namely: Richard Scott, aged eighteen years, who is a student in Leland Stanford University; Henry Cline, Jr., aged fourteen years; and Rupert Edward, a lad of seven. In fraternal circles Dr. Fixott is known as a Knight Templar Mason and has also crossed the sands of the desert with the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. He is past grand senior master and the present grand secretary of the Trowel fraternity and is likewise affiliated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. His name is also on the membership rolls of the Portland Golf Club and the Portland Chamber of Commerce.
