        Numbered among the successful members of the Medical profession is N. 
Genevieve Chipman, M.D., of Livingston. Dr. Chipman is held in high esteem for 
the ability she has evinced in her profession, the earnestness and thought she 
gives to her work, and the spirit in which she ministers to the needs of 
suffering humanity. Her birth occurred at Savanna, Ill., and she was graduated 
from the high school at that place, after which she entered the Lewis Institute 
at Chicago, Ill., where she began her preparation for the practice of medicine. 
Completing her course there she entered the Chicago College of Medicine and was 
graduated with the class of 1915. She began practice in Chicago and continued 
until 1917. When the call came for doctors and nurses for government service she 
went into the United States Public Health service and was assigned to Nitro, W. 
Va., near Charleston, where the munition plant of the government was located. 
Dr. Chipman was honorably discharged from the service on December 11, 1918, and 
returned to Chicago, where she resumed general practice. In November, 1919, she 
removed to California and settled at Turlock, where she became associated with 
the doctors Julien, continuing until November 1, 1923, when she took over the 
office and practice of Dr. Gilbert C. Saunders in Livingston. Dr. Chipman keeps 
abreast of the times and is an active member of the County Medical Society, the 
State Medical Society, the American Association and the National Woman's Medical 
Association.
