H. DUDLEY W. PINEO, D. D. S.

Very few young men in Oregon have attained a higher place socially and
professionally than Dr. H. D. W. Pineo, a well known dentist of Hood River, at
present filling the important position of dental examiner of the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance and chaplain of the Hood River Chapter of the American Legion.
He is a native of the Dominion of Canada, born in Nova Scotia in 1880.

His father, George E. Pineo, was a descendant of a sturdy French family, who
made their home in Canada before the treaty between France and Great Britain was
effected. He established and operated an iron manufacturing plant in Berwick,
Nova Scotia, which had few equals in the province. It was destroyed by fire and
he is now living in Hood River, Oregon. He married Amanda Woodworth, a daughter
of a captain in the English army, who having retired from the service under the
age rule, moved his family to the North American continent and settled in
Berwick, Canada. There he became the owner of half the townsite and became a
prominent factor in the development of the town and district.

Dr. Pineo was educated in the public schools of Berwick and at the Mount Hermon
Academy, at Mount Hermon, Massachusetts. His professional course was obtained at
the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, from which he was graduated in 1905
with the degree of D. D. S. and with a high standing to his credit. He first
opened an office at Boston, Massachusetts, but remained in that city for only
one year. Determined to go to the far west, he was attracted to Oregon by a
visit made to the Lewis & Clark Exposition at Portland and liking the country he
decided to locate in this state. After making a survey of all sections, he
selected Hood River as offering the best opportunity for a young and ambitious
man.

In 1906 Dr. Pineo opened an office at Hood River and at once secured an
excellent practice, which continued to grow with the passing years until 1917,
when the World war disturbed the tranquillity of existing conditions. With
French and English blood in his veins, coupled to American ideas, he enlisted
for service in February, 1917, and when the United States declared war, he was
sent to Fort Flagler, Washington, in June of the same year for examination and
in July was commissioned first lieutenant of the dental corps. In September of
that year he was sent on duty to Camp Lewis, Washington, and served there until
June, 1918. About that time he contracted pneumonia and was sent to the camp
hospital, where he was compelled to remain for seventy-five days, at the end of
this period being fully restored to his normal health. In April, 1918, following
his recovery, he was ordered to the Hawaiian islands, where he spent the next
twelve months, and in April, 1919, he was ordered to the Presidio, San
Francisco, for demobilization.

Dr. Pineo returned to Hood River and with his family made a trip to Nova Scotia
to attend a family reunion, which was saddened by the death of a brother,
Marshall Wilder Pineo, who was killed in France while serving with the Canadian
medical corps. During his visit the Doctor availed himself of the opportunity to
take a postgraduate course at Harvard University dental department, following
which he returned to his home and practice in Hood River.

In 1907 Dr. Pineo was married to Miss Delphine Terrio, a member of an old French
family, of Halifax, Nova Scotia, her father, Jeffrey Terrio, being one of the
leading merchants of that city. They are the parents of one child, Margaret
Delphine Pineo, who is a student in the grade schools.

The Doctor is a member of the Oregon Dental Society and of the National Dental
Association. He is a member of the Masonic order, being a Knight Templar and a
Noble of the Mystic Shrine, and also holds membership in the Odd Fellows. He is
proud of the fact that he is chaplain of the Hood River Chapter of the American
Legion and a captain in the Dental Reserve Corps of the United States Army. He
has recently been appointed dental examiner of the United States public health
service for Hood River county and adjacent territory.
