      DR. WALLACE C. SHEARER, D. D. S., who has long held a leading place 
among the skilled and capable dentists of Portland, where he commands a large 
and lucrative practice, was born in Prairie City, Oregon, on the 18th of 
April, 1880, and is a son of George and Georgiana (Gillenwater) Shearer, who 
were married in Prairie City in 1878. The father came to Oregon in 1872 and 
was for a number of years successfully engaged in general merchandising, but 
died in 1923.

     Wallace C. Shearer attended the public schools of Canyon City, Oregon, 
and in 1896 entered the North Pacific Dental College, in Portland, from which 
he was graduated with the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery in 1902. He did 
postgraduate work in the dental department of Columbia University, New York 
city, and then entered upon the practice of his profession in Portland. He 
specializes in X-ray work, dental surgery and extraction, and in these lines 
has no superiors in this part of the country, owing to his exact technical 
knowledge, his careful and painstaking methods and his conscientious 
determination to always give the best service within his power. For these 
reasons he has commanded the respect of his professional colleagues and the 
confidence of the public. He has a nicely furnished and well equipped office 
in the Medical Arts building and his career has been crowned with marked 
success.

     In 1906, Dr. Shearer was united in marriage to Miss Edna Boss, and they 
are the parents of two children, Wallace C., Jr., who is a student in the 
University of Oregon, and Richard Albert, who is a pupil in the Grant high 
school, of Portland. The Doctor is a member of the Oregon Dental Association, 
of which he was president, and he belongs to the Portland Chamber of Commerce. 
Candid and straightforward in manner, and kindly and courteous in his 
relations with those who seek his services, he is highly regarded wherever 
known and is accounted one of Portland's representative professional men.
