     DR. J. R. TALBERT, D. M. D., who enjoys a large and remunerative dental 
practice in Beaverton, Oregon, has been successful because of his exact 
technical knowledge, his careful and painstaking work and his kindly and 
courteous manner. The Doctor was born at Morristown, Shelby county, Indiana, 
on the 12th of August, 1894, and is a son of W. and Anna Viola (Robinson) 
Talbert, the former now deceased, while the latter resides at Aloha, Oregon. 
In both paternal and maternal lines the Doctor is a scion of old American 
stock, the families having been established in this country prior to the war 
of the Revolution. They first located in the Carolinas, but subsequently 
became pioneer settlers of Indiana. In 1907 the Doctor's family came to the 
Pacific coast, living for about a year in Washington, and from 1908 to 1915 in 
Portland, from which city they came to Aloha, Washington county, in 1915, and 
here the father followed farming until his death.

     J. R. Talbert received his public school education in Indiana and 
Washington and graduated from the high school at Portland, after which he 
entered the North Pacific Dental College, from which he was graduated, with 
the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery, in 1923. He was, for the purpose of 
gaining additional practical experience, employed for a short time in dental 
offices in Portland, then came to Beaverton. He has a nicely furnished and 
well equipped office, has closely followed his profession and has well merited 
the success which has crowned his efforts. 

     Dr. Talbert was united in marriage to Miss Marion Gould, who was born in 
Portland and is a daughter of O. J. and Margaret (Garson) Gould, both of whom 
are natives of Portland and now reside at Medford, Oregon. The Gould family 
were pioneer settlers of Portland but later moved to San Diego, California. 
Mrs. Gould is a daughter of James and Caroline Garson, who on coming to Oregon 
first settled in Beaverton in 1872, lived there two years, and then moved to 
Portland, where their deaths occurred. Dr. Talbert is a Knight Templar Mason, 
and Shriner and a member of the Order of the Eastern Star of which is worthy 
patron. He also belongs to the Masonic Trowell fraternity, the American 
Legion, the Portland Dental Society, the Oregon State Dental Society and the 
American Dental Association. He is a stanch supporter of the republican party. 
The Doctor is a veteran of the World war, for which he enlisted in September, 
1917. He was first stationed at San Francisco, but was transferred to Boston, 
where he took a course in radio at Harvard University, for which he was well 
adapted, having been previously a close student of radio. From Boston he was 
sent to Asbury Park, New Jersey, where for three months he was in the 
transatlantic radio service, and was then assigned to sea duty, being on 
convoy and supply ships on the Atlantic ocean. He was honorably discharged 
from the service in August, 1919, with the rank of radio electrician second 
class. A man of sterling character, pleasing address and affable manner, he 
has made a host of warm friends since coming to Beaverton and commands the 
sincere respect of the entire community.
