     DR. J. DORMAN LEONARD, M. D., a veteran of the World war, is one of the 
younger members of Portland's medical fraternity and is well equipped for the 
profession of his choice. He was born March 25, 1897, in Burns, Oregon, and is 
a son of C. H. and Madge (Byrd) Leonard, who were married in this state. Dr. 
Leonard's maternal grandfather was William Calhoun Byrd, one of Oregon's 
earliest settlers. C. H. Leonard came to eastern Oregon in the '70s, when this 
region was largely undeveloped, and is now a successful lawyer. For many years 
he has practiced at Burns, of which city he was formerly mayor and prosecuting 
attorney.

     Dr. Leonard attended the public schools of his native town and pursued 
his scientific studies in the University of Oregon, which he left in March, 
1917, to enter the service of his country. He went to France with the United 
States Medical Corps, spending six months in that country, and his term of 
service covered two years and eleven days. After his honorable discharge Dr. 
Leonard returned to the University of Oregon and was graduated with the class 
of 1923, winning the M. D. degree. He was an interne of St. Vincent's Hospital 
for about a year and in 1924 began the practice of Medicine in Portland. Since 
July, 1925, Dr. Leonard has been a member of the local staff of physicians and 
surgeons connected with the National Hospital Association and devotes much of 
his time to surgical work in association with Dr. Slocum.

     	Dr. Leonard was married April 21, 1921, to Miss Hazel Haines, of 
Burns, Oregon, and they now have two children, Anna Jean and Hazel Irene. Dr. 
Leonard gives his political allegiance to the republican party and 
conscientiously discharges the duties and obligations of citizenship. He is a 
member of the American Legion, the Sigma Chi and Nu Sigma Nu fraternities, the 
Multnomah County and Oregon State Medical Societies, and the American Medical 
Association. His interest centers in his profession and his ability, energy 
and determination insure his continued progress therein, while his personal 
attributes are such as inspire respect and confidence.
