DR. J. M. GALLEHUE, dentist, Chenoa. In the practice of dentistry, perhaps more than in any other profession, superior ability is necessary to success in a country town, owing to the prevalent idea in the public mind that first-class dental work is only to be obtained in the larger cities; but notwithstanding this mistaken notion, Dr. Gallehue has, during his five years practice in Chenoa, satisfied the people that they cannot only obtain as fine work, but at much lower prices than in the cities; he is the only dentist in the place, has an extensive practice, and ail his work is warranted to give entire satisfaction to his customers. Dr. Gallehue was born in Madison Co., Va., Nov. 16, 1852, being a son of John Gallehue, now of Lexington, in this county. He came to McLean Co. with his parents at the age of 7 years; he left home in 1870, and the next year began the study of dentistry in Lexington; after one year, he went to El Paso, Ill., and continued his studies with Dr. M. H. Patton, of that place; after completing which, he practiced with him about eight months, coming to Chenoa in 1874. He was married March 25, __, to Miss Mary McLean, of Lexington, and has one child — Herbert Glenn.
