McENANEY, JAMES B. M.D.

James B. McEnaney, M.D., who was born in Cleveland, Ohio, November 15, 1860, is a son of Joseph McEnaney, and comes of an old Scotch-Irish family. The Doctor is a recent acquisition to Lyon county, having settled in Larchwood in 1899, where he practices medicine.

Dr. McEnaney was brought by his parents to Fayette County, Iowa, when he was but seven years of age. There he attained a very good education before he was sent away to secure his medical training. In 1890 he settled at Ashton, Iowa, where he was engaged very successfully in professional work for nine years. At the end of this period he came into Lyon county, opening at that time an office for medical practice in Larchwood. In this he has been very successful, and has a large patronage from a wide circle around Larchwood.

Dr. McEnaney was married in the month of June, 1878, to Miss May Huff, a native of Chicago, where she was born in 1864. Their happy union has been blessed by the birth of a family of five children, as follows: Fred, Grace, Tine, William, and Florence, who was born in Osceola county, Iowa. All the others were born in Fayette county.

The Doctor is Republican in political affairs, and seeks to promote the best interests of the community through the wise exercise of the electoral franchise. His wife owns a good farm of one hundred and sixty acres, on which the buildings are very complete, and it is her pride to maintain this place beyond reasonable criticism.
