WILLIAM CORPRON, M. D.

Dr. William Corpron has been actively and successfully engaged in the general
practice of medicine in Yakima for the past eleven years and has won an enviable
reputation as a skilled representative of his profession. His birth occurred in
Middlesex county, Ontario. Canada, on the 7th of January, 1864, his parents
being William H. and Matilda M. Corpron, both of whom have passed away. The
father followed farming as a life work.

In preparation for his chosen profession William Corpron entered the medical
department of the University of Michigan, which institution conferred upon him
the degree of M. D. in 1891. He then began practice at Minnesota Lake in
Faribault county, Minnesota, and there remained continuously until 1901 with the
exception of the year 1898, which he spent in post-graduate work in New York.
After leaving Minnesota Lake he opened an office at Redwood Falls, Minnesota,
where he followed his profession for a period of six years or until the time of
his removal to the Pacific northwest. It was on the 4th of September, 1907, that
he arrived in Yakima and here he has remained active as a general practitioner
of medicine to the present time. Merited success has come to him. He is a member
of the American Medical Association and is widely recognized as a representative
and able physician and surgeon.

On the 16th of August, 1893, Dr. Corpron was united in marriage to Miss Anna
Victoria Douglas, a native of Strathroy, Ontario, Canada, by whom he has three
children, namely: Douglas, who is a student in the medical department of the
University of Michigan; Mae Victoria, who is attending the University of Oregon;
and Bernice Winifred, now attending the Spokane University. All of the children
are graduates of the Yakima high school.

Dr. Corpron exercises his right of franchise in support of the men and treasures
of the democratic party, while his religious faith is that of the Christian
church. Fraternally he is identified with the Modern Woodmen of America, the
Modern Brotherhood, the Independent Order of Foresters and the Ancient Order of
United Workmen.
