Among those gentlemen who are doing
all in their power to advance the in
terests of dental surgery is DR.. G. ).
Boyette, Of Clinton He is one of its
most progressive citizerr. ana is es-
teemed by all who know him.
DR.. Boyette was born in DupEn coun-
ty, in 1864. He received a liberal edu-
cation at the Warsaw High School, and
then turned his attention to the study
of dentistry, at Clinton, under his
brother, DR.. L. Boyette. During the
fall term of 1899, he entered the den
tistry department of the University of
Maryland Returning home during the
summer of 1890, he stood the examina-
ton before the State Board of Examin-
ers, and secured State license to prac-
tice dentistry.
During the summer of 1890 in order to
further complete his dental education he
returned to the University and gradu-
ated the following year, seventh out of
a class of seventy-two students. In view
of the very fine examination passed be-
fore the State Board he was given a
scholarship. After graduating from the
University he went to Mount Olive,
Wayne county, and successfully prac-
ticed his profession there for four years.
January, 1895, he came to Clinton, and
has built up a very fine practice.
The Doctor married in 1893 Miss Lii
liam Pryor, Magnolia, Duplin county.
This union has been blessed with three
boys. His offices are splendidly equip
ped. He has four rooms, consisting of
a waiting room, operating room and two
laboratories. He has all the latest and
newest instruments used in dental work.
The Doctor has in his possession the
pencil used in standing the State exam
nation, and also during the last year
of the University. He is a thorough
student, perfectly welded 70 his pro-
fession, and is considered one of the
most energetic and progressive citizens
of Clinton. He is thoroughly alive to
the needs and requirements for the
building up of Clinton, and is always
ready and willing to do all in his power
to push the city forward. The Doctor
is member of the State Dental So
ciety, and one of its most ardent sup
porters.
