EDWIN B. SWINDLER, M. D.
    Dr. Edwin B. Swindler, a physician of Stuttgart, whose ability in practice
has long been successfully demonstrated, was born in Dawson Springs, Kentucky,
in 1883. His father, M. N. Swindler, a native of Kentucky, was a son of David
and Nancy (Snider) Swindler, who on removing westward from West Virginia settled
in Livermore, Kentucky, and thus the family was planted in the Blue Grass state.
M. N. Swindler, after arriving at years of maturity, was married to Miss Sarah
E. Hildreth. The Hildreths were from Eddyville, Kentucky. The Snider family, of
which Dr. Swindler is a representative in the paternal line, came from
Pennsylvania, representatives of the name removing from that state to Fairmont,
West Virginia. To M. N. and Sarah E (Hildreth) Swindler there were born five
children: Arthur V., who is now a druggist of Memphis, Tennessee; Charles J., an
attorney living in Washington, D. C.; Edwin B.; Sarah M., who is also located in
the national capital; and Catherine, the wife of J. D. Bell of Crawfordsville,
Arkansas.

    Dr. Swindler pursued his professional education in the medical department of
the University of Tennessee and following his graduation located at Dardanelle,
Arkansas, where he remained until 1913. It was in this latter year that he came
to Stuttgart, Arkansas, and here he has continued in active and successful
practice. He offered his services to the government during the World war and was
commissioned a first lieutenant of the Medical Corps but was not called out for
active service. He filled the position of chairman of the local draft board and
was also examiner and at no time did he hesitate in the performance of any duty
that furthered American interests or upheld the policy of the government in
relation to the World war.

    Dr. Swindler was united in marriage to Miss Mary E. Dunlap, a daughter of
James Dunlap, and they have two children, a daughter and a son, Sarah May and
Charles Edwin. Dr. Swindler is a Mason, and his religious faith is indicated in
his membership in the Methodist Episcopal church. He takes a deep interest in
all forces that make for the uplift of the individual and the benefit of the
community at large and his aid and influence are ever given on the side of
right, progress, reform and improvement.
