     DR. DENNIS S. SWART, M. D., who for a decade has been actively engaged in 
the practice of medicine, making his home in St. Johns, Portland, since the 
fall of 1920, was born in Garland, Kansas, October 8, 1889, a son of Charles 
Swart, who in 1891 arrived in Washington, establishing his home in the Lewis 
river country. Dr. Swart, then but two years of age, afterward acquired a 
public school education and later attended the University of Washington at 
Seattle, where he completed a course in pharmacy by graduation with the class 
of 1912. He afterward devoted two years to the practice of pharmacy at 
Endicott and Albion, Washington, and it was a logical step from this to the 
study of medicine, upon which he entered in the University of Oregon in 1914, 
completing his course in the medical school with the class of 1918.

     In the meantime, through the period of America's connection with the 
World war, Dr. Swart was on active duty with the navy of Bremerton, 
Washington. Following the war and the completion of his medical course he 
spent a year and a half as interne in the King County Hospital at Seattle, 
Washington, where he gained broad and valuable practical experience while 
rendering efficient aid to the patients in that institution. In the fall of 
1920 he came to Portland and, opening an office in St. Johns, has here 
continued in active practice to the present time.

     Dr. Swart was married to Miss Janet Carlisle, of Seattle, who is a 
graduate nurse of the Seattle City Hospital, and as a war-nurse served in the 
government hospital at Camp Lewis, and after her discharge served as a 
graduate nurse at the King County Hospital. They now have one son, David. The 
Doctor is a member of Doric Lodge, A. F. & A. M., and the Woodmen of the World 
but gives the major part of his time, thought and attention to his 
professional duties, and that he may keep in close connection with the onward 
march of medical science he holds membership in the City and County, Oregon 
State and American Medical Associations.
