DR. IRVING J.
JOHNSON, well known as a leading physician in the town of
Constitution, Warren township, Washington County, Ohio, has been
prominently identified with the medical circles of that city
since 1887, and has large number of patrons. He enjoys a
reputation for energy, skill and determination, and these
qualities have given him a successful practice, and placed him
in a high position.
Dr. Johnson was born in Bolton, Ontario
province, Canada, but after undergoing primary instruction,
studied for a time at Dartmouth College, in New Hampshire.
Wishing to fit himself more thoroughly for his profession, he
took a post-graduate course at the university in Baltimore,
Maryland. His first work was done in Vermont, but not
being satisfied with matters there, he moved to his present
location, and soon found a suitable place for his practice in
Constitution. He has given his work in that place
undivided attention since 1887. Shortly after locating
there, he purchased the ground on which is his comfortable
residence, together with his office.
