J. G. RENAKER.  Among the younger physicians of Grant County, Dr. J. G.
Renaker, of Dry Ridge, takes high rank.  While he is one of the youngest
engaged in active practice, he is up among the leaders of the
profession.  Dr. Renaker is a Grant County boy, born and bred.  He is a 
son of G. P. Renaker and Nancy Jane (Levesque) Renaker, and was born on 
his father's farm about one mile north of Dry Ridge, November 19, 1877. 
In the Renaker family there were five boys and two girls, all of whom 
are living excepting two.  Dr. Renaker was raised on a farm and there 
learned the industrious and studious habits which G. P. Renaker 
instilled into all of his children.  He attended the common school at 
Dry Ridge, and later the Covington High School.  When only a boy he had 
an ambition to study medicine and became a physician.  He attended the 
Louisville Medical College and graduated in March of 1898 at the head 
of the class of that year, receiving a gold medal for his proficiency 
in nervous diseases, and also one for his thorough knowledge of Materia 
Medica.  After leaving school well equipped for the battle of life in 
his chosen profession, he returned to his old home, Dry Ridge, and hung 
out his shingle.  He has met with fair success and is now one of the 
leading physicians in that vicinity.  Dr. Renaker is an excellent young 
man and is ambitious to do the best he can in life.  He is a staunch 
Democrat and a member of the Red Men's Lodge at Dry Ridge.  His 
continued success in his profession is reasonably assured.
