     MAUDE TANNER, D. M. S.  Among the capable and well known dentists of 
Portland is numbered Dr. Maude Tanner, who has not only achieved distinctive 
success as a practitioner, but is also widely known for her effective work in 
the educational field, largely through her writings. Dr. Tanner was born on a 
farm near Marion, Illinois, and is a daughter of Silas and Julia (Davis) 
Tanner, the latter now deceased. Her father, who is a farmer and contractor is 
living. To him and his wife were born five children, three sons and two 
daughters.

     Dr. Tanner received her early education in the public schools of her home 
neighborhood, after which she attended Barnes University, at St. Louis, two 
years. She spent the year 1906 in government service, and then entered the 
Pacific Dental College, at Portland, from which she was graduated, with the 
degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery, in 1909. In the following year she entered 
upon the practice of her profession in Portland, to which she has devoted her 
attention continuously since, with the exception of the year 1915, when she 
was engaged in educational work at the San Francisco exposition. She has a 
nicely furnished and well equipped office in the Broadway building and 
commands a large and representative practice. She is a member of the Portland 
District Dental Society and the Order of the Eastern Star. She was the first 
woman delegate to a National Dental Association convention, being sent to the 
meeting at New York in 1917, and in August, 1918, she attended the association 
meeting at Chicago, where she read an interesting and able paper on "Text 
Books for Schools." She has written a number of instructive books for 
children, and her paper read at Chicago was mainly concerned with the text 
books for children which she has written. She has now in preparation another 
book, entitled "For Children.” Dr. Tanner has two children, Theodore, aged 
seven years, and Mary, aged five years.  A woman of culture and refinement, 
closely devoted to her life work, and cordial and friendly in her social 
relations, she is held in the highest esteem by all who have come in contact 
with her.
