WALTER DWIGGINS, who is now so successfully engaged in the practice of osteopathy in Danville, was born in Waytown, Indiana, July 17, 1874, his parents ageing John C. and Susannah (Fouts) Dwiggins, a sketch of whom appears on another page of this volume.  They were married in Indiana, where the father was engaged in business as a stock dealer until failing health caused his retirement and he removed to Vermilion county, Illinois, in 1889.  In March, 1901, he came to Danville, where he now makes his home, enjoying a well earned rest, free from the cares and responsibilities of business life.  In his political affiliations he is a Republican.  He is the father of four sons but one died in infancy.  The others are Howard, a resident of Danville and the secretary of the shoe factory at Gibson City, Illinois; Charles, a grain dealer of Newport, Indiana; and Walter.      The Doctor acquired his early education in public schools of Crawfordsville, Indiana, and later attended the public schools of Selma, Kansas, and Rossville, Illinois, graduating at the high school in the latter place in 1893.  Later he matriculated at the American School of Osteopathy, where he was graduated in 1900.  He first opened an office at Terre Haute, Indiana, but at  the end of two months he came to Danville and has since engaged in practice at this place with most gratifying success, having a nice office in the Temple block.  He thoroughly understands his chosen profession and although his residence here has been of shore duration he has already secured in liberal patronage which is constantly increasing.  Fraternally he is an honored member of lodge, No. 527, F. & A. M., and Vermilion Lodge, No. 432, K. P., both of Rossville, and politically he is identified with the Republican party. (Source: The Past & Present of Vermilion County, Illinois- Chicago - The S. J.
