	JOHN H. DUMON, M.D., a physician of Centralia, is well-known throughout
southwestern Washington as an able practitioner. He is a native of the State of
Michigan, born September 26, 1850, the son of Canadian parents, John F. and
Sarah (Rice) Dumon; his father removed from the Dominion to the United States in
1845, and settled in Michigan. Dr. Dumon is the fifth of a family of seven
children. He was reared according to the simple habits of farm life, and
acquired his literary education in the common schools. In 1873 he began studying
for his profession under the preceptorship of his brother, D.L. Dumon, M.D., an
eminently successful physician of Evart, Michigan. When he was ready to attend
lectures he entered the medical department of the State University of Michigan
at Ann Arbor, and was graduated from this renowned institution in 1877. He began
practicing in Crystal, Montcalm county, Michigan, where he resided until 1888.
In this year he came to the Pacific coast, and decided to locate in Centralia.
He has built up a large and lucrative practice, extending throughout Lewis and
into adjoining counties. Ambitious for his profession as well as for his own
attainments, he is a faithful reader of current medical publications, and is
thoroughly well posted upon the recent scientific discoveries.
	In politics he adheres to the principles of the Republican party, and
represents that body as City Health Officer. He is an honored member of the
Royal Order of Good Fellows and United Workmen.
	Dr. Dumon was united in marriage in Michigan, September 20, 1874, to Miss
Adell Watters, who was also a native of Michigan.
