The profession
was followed in Hamilton as early as 1839 by D C.
White, surgeon dentist, who was to be found at all
times at the Hamilton Hotel. On Mar. 22, 1842,
Dr. J. B. Allen, of Cincinnati, originator of
Allen's continuous gum work, visited Hamilton, and
remained a short time for the purpose of rendering his
professional services to such as required his aid.
His references were: Rev. D. Whitcomb,
Rev. H. Payne, Dr. Laomi Rigdon, Dr. S. Walker, Dr.
Cyrus Falconer, Jesse Corwin and Isaac Fisher.
His room was at the Hamilton Hotel. On June 9,
1842, Dr. Louis respectfully tendered his
professional services to the citizens of Hamilton,
Rossville and vicinity. He was at all times to be
found at the drug store of Louis & Breaden,
except when not professionally engaged. On Jan. 9,
1844, Dr. H. C. Howells was located over
Joseph Howell's drug store in the room formerly
occupied by Corwin & Smith as a law office.
Dr. Howells has continued to practice at this
same location over fifty years. He was the first
dentist to permanently locate in this city. His
long experience and intimate knowledge of the
requirements of his profession has made him acurate and
reliable. As a citizen and professional man, no
one possesses the confidence or stands higher in the
community than Dr. Howells. We next have
Drs. W. B. & S. W. Ludlow in the room over John
Marr's store, on High street, now occupied by
Fred. Egry as an insurance office. Early in
the sixties S. Tolbert and L. M. Griffis
opened offices in Hamilton. Following are the
practicing dentists of this city today: H. C. Howells,
132 High street; L. M. & E. S. Griffis, 239 High
street; Charles I. Keely, Third and High streets;
A. T. Good, 238 High street; James E.
Rothenbush, Third and Court streets; C. C. Carle,
No. 10 Reily block; D. E. Sheehan, jr.,
230 High street; C. G. Lockwood, Frechtling
