DAPHNEY E. WHITE, M. D.
    Dr. Daphney E. White, a well known physician and surgeon of El Dorado, was
born in Monticello, Arkansas, February 22, 1898. His parents, John W. and
Elizabeth (Rog-land) White, are both representatives of old southern families.
The father was born in Drew county, Arkansas, while the mother's birth occurred
in Macon, Georgia. They have resided continuously in Drew county and in
Monticello since their marriage, having for the last thirty years made their
home in Monticello. Mr. White served as sheriff of Drew county for a period of
four years and has long been prominently known throughout the southern part of
the state as a leading dealer in live stock.

    Dr. White, having completed a course in the Monticello high school, spent
one year in the pursuit of a premedical course in the University of Arkansas and
then devoted four years to the study of medicine in Vanderbilt University of
Tennessee. There he won his M. D. degree as a member of the class of 1919 and
made high standing, becoming the honor man of the class, being awarded the
Founder's Medal, which is conferred upon the scholar having the highest average
during the four years' course. He was also further honored by being made
president of the scholarship fraternity known as the Phi Kappa Chi, membership
in this fraternity requiring a yearly average of not less than ninety for the
first three years. These high positions to which he attained indicates the
splendid work he did through his university course, thus qualifying for the
great responsibilities that devolve upon the physician and surgeon. Following
his graduation he served as interne for eighteen months in Vassar Brothers
Hospital at Poughkeepsie, New York, and during that period took special
instruction in eye, ear, nose and throat work. In June, 1921, be came to El
Dorado and entered upon the active practice of the profession in partnership
with Dr. Cathey, thus forming the medical firm of Cathey and White. In this
connection Dr. White specializes upon diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat,
while his partner gives his attention to other divisions of medical and surgical
practice, mainly surgery. The firm is recognized as one of prominence in
southern Arkansas and Dr. White is accorded high rank by reason of his
splendidly developed ability in his chosen field. He belongs to the medical
fraternity, the Phi Beta Pi. also has membership in the Union County Medical
Society, the Arkansas State Medical Society, the Tri-State Medical Society, the
Nashville Academy of Medicine and the American Medical Association.

    On the 29th of June. 1919, Dr. White was united in marriage to Miss Mary
Lynn Jaggers of Monticello, Arkansas. Dr. and Mrs. White occupy an enviable
social position and they hold membership in the Presbyterian church, their
interest centering in those channels through which flows the greatest good to
the greatest number.
