J. Clarke (Publisher, 1922) F. P. VINES, M. D. Dr. F. P. Vines, a well-known representative of the medical profession at El Dorado, was born in Hillsboro, Arkansas, on the 4th of October, 1877. His youthful days were spent as a farm-bred boy. He worked in the fields through the summer months and until the harvests were gathered in the late autumn, and he also assisted in the operation of a sawmill and cotton gin. His educational privileges were those accorded by the public schools of Junction City, and later he attended Ouachita College, while afterward he became a student in the Westminster College at Dallas, Texas. Still ambitious to promote his intellectual development and thus qualify for responsible and important duties in life, he matriculated in the Memphis College of Memphis, Tennessee, and was graduated in 1903. He next attended Tulane University as a medical student. and since graduating there he has pursued five postgraduate courses in Tulane. Wide reading has kept him in touch with the trend of modern professional advancement, and he has been very successful in the field of general medical practice and surgery. Dr. Vines first opened an office in Hillsboro, his native town, where he remained from 1903 until 1905. The succeeding seven years were spent at Strong, Arkansas, and in 1912 he went to Hot Springs, where he remained until 1917. In that year he removed to Bauxite, where he practiced until coming to El Dorado in July, 1921. Already he has gained a good practice here. He belongs to the Union County Medical Society, the Arkansas State Medical Society, the Southern Medical Association and the American Medical Association. He is conscientious in the performance of all of his professional duties, carefully diagnosing his cases and meeting all the requirements that are made upon the physician of the modern day. Dr. Vines is likewise widely known through his fraternal connections, having membership with the Masons, the Knights of Pythias and the Modern Woodmen.
