JOHN NEVINS, M. D.
Dr. John Nevins, a resident of Greene for the past thirty years and today accounted one of the most prominent and representative members of the medical profession in Butler county, was born in Laporte, Indiana, June 11, 1857. His parents afterward moved to Valparaiso, where he began his education, later taking a high school course in Hampton. His parents passed away when he was a mere boy, and his progress in the world has been due to his own efforts and determination. There were three small children at the time of the parents' death. Our subject attended Lombard University at Galesburg and after leaving he taught school two years in various places, after which he moved to Greene. In this city he engaged in the drug business for some time, being a registered pharmacist, and this led to his interest in the science of medicine, which he studied under a preceptor for two years. He then took three courses of lectures at Rush Medical College in Chicago and was graduated from that institution with the degree of M. D. in 1886. Immediately afterward he formed a partnership with Dr. Huckins and engaged in general practice. After four years the association was discontinued and since that time Dr. Nevins has been alone. In the course of years he has built up a large and representative practice and has won a high place in public regard, for he has become known as a conscientious, skillful and able physician, well versed in underlying medical principles and keenly alive to the responsibilities which his profession entails upon him. He has remained always a close and earnest student, keeping in touch with the most advanced medical thought, and in addition to this he completed in 1900 an extensive post-graduate course. He built and operates a hospital in Greene and is greatly interested in the growth of the institution, which is completely appointed, being provided with neat and well furnished apartments for patients and a well equipped operating room.
In Greene, in 1901, Dr. Nevins was united in marriage to Miss Bessie Haggerty, who was born in the vicinity of that city. Dr. Nevins is independent in his political views, supporting men and measures rather than parties. He has never sought public office, however, for his attention is centered upon his profession, in which he has won that distinction and prominence which come only as the result of unusual merit and ability and which are especially praiseworthy when, as in the case of Dr. Nevins, they have been gained by one who from early youth has been compelled to rely solely upon his own powers and resources.
