L. S. MADDEN, M. D.

     who is engaged in the practice of medicine in Weston and is building his
success upon broad and accurate knowledge of the scientific principles of
medical practice, was born at Absecon, Atlantic county, New Jersey, January 1,
1885. His parents, E. H. and T. C. (Weeks) Madden, are natives of New Jersey,
where they still reside. The father is a physician, having made the practice of
medicine his life work.
     Dr. Madden of this review is one a family of eleven children, eight of whom
are yet living. He resided with his parents until 1906 and pursued his early
education in the public schools of his native town, after which he attended the
Peddie Institute of Hightstown, New Jersey, from which he was graduated with the
class of 1902. His broad literary learning served as an excellent foundation on
which to build his professional knowledge, which was largely acquired in the
Medico-Chirurgical College of Philadelphia, from which he was graduated in 1906.
After a year's broad and beneficial experience in hospital practice he left the
east and came to Oregon in 1907 and in June, 1909, settled in Weston, where he
has since engaged in general practice. His standing with the profession is
indicated in the fact that he has been honored with the vice presidency of the
Eastern Oregon District Medical Society. He is accorded a liberal practice and
his work has been very gratifying in its results.
     In 1909, Dr. Madden was married to Miss Florence Porter, a native of
Weiser, Idaho, and a daughter of O. W. Porter. They have one child, Bertram S.
Dr. Madden holds membership with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and has
attractive social qualities, which render him popular, but he subordinates all
interests of his life to his professional duties, which are performed with a
sense of conscientious obligation, producing excellent results.
