        One of the young, promising physicians and surgeons of Lindsay, 
California, is Dr. James C. McClure, who came to the city about the beginning of 
the year 1924. He was born in Alpena, Michigan, September 22, 1896, son of John 
and Marian (Munro) McClure. He was educated in the Alpena high school and the 
University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. In 1922 he was a member of the graduating 
class in the medical department of the last named institution, having spent six 
years in a thorough preparation for the practice of medicine.
        While in college Dr. McClure acquired considerable notoriety as an 
athlete, especially in wrestling. In 1918 he was the champion lightweight 
wrestler in the university. He is a member of the Phi Chi Medical fraternity, 
which he joined while a student, and has won a membership in the Alpha Omega 
Alpha National honorary society. He also belongs to the Tulare county, 
California State and American Medical Associations.
        Upon receiving his degree of M.D., Dr. McClure came to California and 
practiced in Fresno for about a year. He then located in Lindsay, where he has 
formed many acquaintances and is on the road to a successful practice. The 
Doctor is associated in practice with Dr. E. R. Scarboro, who is also a young 
man of ability.
        In 1923 Dr. McClure was married to Miss Florence R. Williams, a native 
of Oroville, California, and an accomplished young woman. He is a republican in 
politics and belongs to the Congregational church. He is a member of the Masonic 
fraternity, which is the only secret order to claim his allegiance.
