Biography of Arch C. Wagner, D.D.S.

ARCH C. WAGNER, D. D. S., a young man of the sterling
character and professional ability that augur well for suc-
cessful achievement, is one of the representative dental
practitioners of McDowell County, with residence and of-
fice in the Village of Iaeger, he having been for two years
a valued member of the McDowell County Dental Clinic.
The doctor was graduated in the dental department of the
Medical College of Virginia, in the City of Richmond, on
the 16th of June, 1919. In the World war period he gained
special training and valuable experience in the regimental
infirmary of the Three Hundred and Seventeenth United
States Infantry, and after receiving his discharge he re-
turned to the college at Richmond and became a member of
the Medical Reserve Corps. After his graduation Dr. Wag-
ner was engaged in practice for a few months in his native
county of Highland, Virginia, where he worked with a
portable dental outfit. Ho then came to McDowell County,
West Virginia, where he has since continued in successful
practice. Since becoming a member of the County Dental
Clinic he has visited nearly every school in the county, the
work of this clinic being largely in the examination of and
directing the care of the teeth of children, a matter of
major importance. The doctor maintains affiliation with
the Masonic fraternity, Knights of Pythias, Junior Order
United American Mechanics, and the Xi Psi Phi college
fraternity.

Doctor Wagner was born on a farm near Monterey,
Highland County, Virginia, March 16, 1895, and is a son
of James A. and Lou Ida (Suddarth) Wagner, who still
reside on their fine homestead farm in Highland County,
where their circle of friends is coincident with that of their
acquaintances. Doctor Wagner was reared on the farm and
gained his preliminary education in a private school. For
four years thereafter he walked four miles night and morn-
ing to attend high school, and after his graduation he was
engaged in teaching in the rural schools for two years.
He then began his preparation for his chosen profession, as
already noted in the preceding paragraph. The doctor is
one of the loyal and progressive citizens of McDowell
County, has here won a host of friends and he still permits
his name to be enrolled on the list of eligible young bache-
lors in the county.
