DR. 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.
