     DR. DANIEL 0. WEBSTER, M. D. has been an active representative of the 
medical profession in Portland during the past quarter of a century and is the 
oldest physician in point of residence on the "Peninsula." He was born at 
Lakeport, New Hampshire, May 20, 1876, his parents being Daniel E. and Abbie 
A. (Buzzell) Webster, the former born at Lake Village, New Hampshire, April 
10, 1850, and the latter at Cape Elizabeth, Maine, April 1, 1850. He comes of 
Scotch and Welsh descent on the paternal side and of English lineage in the 
maternal line.

     Daniel 0. Webster acquired his early education in the public schools of 
Lakeport and pursued a preparatory college course in the Tilton School at 
Tilton, New Hampshire. In 1900 he was graduated from Brown University with the 
A. B. degree, while three years later, in 1903, he received the degree of M. 
D. from Boston University on the completion of a course in medicine. Portland 
has remained the scene of his professional labors during the past twenty-five 
years and throughout the entire period he has devoted his time to the general 
practice of medicine and surgery, with particular attention to obstetrics. He 
has built up an enviable patronage and his high standing in professional ranks 
is indicated in the fact that he is the president of the Oregon State 
Homeopathic Medical Society. As above stated, Dr. Webster is the oldest 
physician on the "Peninsula" in point of years of residence, for he opened his 
office in the University Park district of Portland when there were no streets, 
the city gradually growing out to this locality. Travel at first was on foot 
and an occasional suburban car, then by bicycle and on horseback and with 
horse and buggy until eventually the automobile came into general use. The 
Doctor has witnessed the growth of the district until the bulk of the 
residence population of Portland is now on the east side, where he came as a 
pioneer twenty-five years ago.

     On the 2d of October, 1912, Dr. Webster was married to Amy Keen, of 
Aberdeen, Washington, a native of Oregon and a lady of English descent. She is 
past grand marshal of the grand chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star of 
Oregon and is a member of Nydia Temple, Daughters of the Nile, and of the 
Women's Club. Dr. Webster belongs to Peninsula Lodge, No. 128, of the 
Independent Order of Odd Fellows and is also a worthy exemplar of the 
teachings and purposes of the Masonic fraternity, being a member of Doric 
Lodge, No. 132, A. F. & A. M., and of the chapter, commandery and Mystic 
Shrine. He is past grand patron and present grand lecturer of the grand 
chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star in Oregon. Dr. Webster also has 
membership in the Columbia Country Club and is highly esteemed in both social 
and professional circles of his adopted city.
