				J. S. GOODMANSON, D. D. S. 

	Dr. J. S. Goodmanson, a prominent and successful dentist of 
Aberdeen, was born in Scotland, October 24, 1868. He is a son of G. and 
Sarah Goodmanson, who went to Nova Scotia from Scotland in 1878. They 
now reside in Duluth, Minnesota. 

	Dr. Goodmanson acquired his preliminary education in the public 
schools of Nova Scotia and afterward entered the American College of 
Dental Surgery, from which he was graduated in 1891. He later took a 
one year's course in the Northwestern Dental College and in 1892 began 
the practice of his profession in Illinois. From that state he moved to 
Omaha, Nebraska, and thence to Webster, South Dakota, in 1898. He went 
to Aberdeen in 1908 and has since been engaged in professional practice 
in that city. His ability is evident in the large and representative 
patronage which is accorded him and this is constantly increasing as 
his skill and ability become more widely known. 

	On the 26th of June, 1908, Dr. Goodmanson married Miss Nettie P. 
O'Donald of Marshall, Minnesota and both are well known in social 
circles of Aberdeen. Dr. Goodmanson affiliates with the Episcopal 
church belongs to the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks and the 
knights of Pythias, and is vice president of the local dental 
association. His personal characteristics have gained him the warm 
regard and friendship of many, while in professional circles he has won 
that success which comes only in recognition of merit and ability.
