DOTY, E.J., D.M.D.

	Dr. E. J. Doty, engaged in the practice of dentistry at Winlock, where 
he has an office thoroughly modern in its equipment, was well trained for his 
profession as a student in the North Pacific Dental College at Portland, 
Oregon, from which he was graduated with the calss of 1902.  He is a native of 
Marshalltown, Iowa, his birth having there occurred in 1876.  His father, 
Floyd A. Doty, was a native of New York abut became one of the early settlers 
of Iowa and engaged in business as a contractor at Marshalltown.  Removing 
westward in 1895, he settled at Kalama, Washington, where he passed away in 
November, 1916, at the advanced age of eighty-six years.  His wife bore the 
maiden name of Lillis Marion Johnson and was a native of New York.
	E. J. Doty was a youth of nineteen years when in 1895 he became a 
resident of western Washington.  He afterward engaged in merchandising at 
Kelso, Washington, for several years but determined upon the practice of 
dentistry in a life work and went to Portland to enter college there.  
Following his graduation he located in Aberdeen in May, 1902, and there began 
practice with S. C. Maker.  A few months later he removed to Tacoma, where he 
was associated in practice with Dr. E. H. Lenox until 1904, when he came to 
Winlock, where he took up his permanent abode.  He has since practiced 
dentistry in Winlock and reading and study have kept him in touch with the 
trend of modern scientific progress and investigation along professional 
lines.  His standing among his professional colleagues is indicated in the 
fact that he was elected for two years as secretary of the Southwestern 
Washington Dental Society and he is also a member of the State Dental 
Association.
	Dr. Doty was married in Westport, Oregon, in 1901, to Miss Effie June 
Ayres, of that state, and they have three children: Wallace Ray, Maxine Erle 
and Denice Marion.  Fraternally Dr. Doty is connected with the Elks and is a 
Royal Arch mason, belonging to the lodge in Winlock and the chapter at 
Chehalis.  In politics he is a republican and for one term was a member of the 
city council, where he served for three years on the school board, but the 
honors and emoluments of office have little attraction to him, as he prefers 
to concentrate his efforts and attention upon his professional duties, which 
he discharges with expert skill and a sense of conscientious obligation.
