Foreman, imbued with the spirit of the times, has in his practice kept in constant touch with advanced thought, experiment and experience in the line of his chosen calling and is uniformly accounty [sic] one of the most capable physicians and surgeons of Greene county. He is practicing in Kane and is a native son of the county, his birth having occurred in White Hall, February 20, 1875, his parents being Abner W. and Elizabeth R. (Hayden) Foreman. The mother was born in Pike county, Illinois.
Dr. Claude B.
