Although a comparatively young man Dr. Alexander Kemp De Jarnette has already made for himself a recognized place among the physicians and surgeons of Sheridan, Wyoming, where he is now located, enjoying a gratifying practice. Dr. De Jarnette well merits the clientage which is accorded him, for while undertaking his medical studies he has seriously occupied himself with the problems of the profession and has become efficient along lines of general medicine.
    He is a Missourian by birth, his native city being Rich Hill, where he was born January 31, 1889, a son of James Kemp and Nancy Florence De Jarnette. After having completed his preliminary studies he entered the University of Louisville with the intention of making the practice of medicine his life work and became a student in the medical department of that university at Louisville, Kentucky. On June 8, 1916, he received his degree and subsequently located in Sheridan, considering that the great west of this country would hold for a young physician greater opportunities than the east. Although Dr. De Jarnette has been established in Wyoming for only a few years he has made for himself a respected place in the profession, for he always closely follows the highest ethics and standards of the same. His colleagues have readily welcomed him among them and the general public has come to know him and many have sought his services, which have always been rendered efficiently. He has remained a student and is interested in the latest discoveries and procedures along medical lines and keeps in contact with these through reading and also by attending experimental cases. He brings to bear upon the investigations and solutions of professional problems a highly trained intellect and skill in scientific thinking, and his earnest efforts have borne fruit, for while he has gained a number of grateful patients whom he has successfully treated, he has also established and added to his professional prestige.
    Dr. De Jarnette is a democrat and gives faithful support to the candidates and measures of the party. He has, however, never sought political office for himself, preferring to give his time to his professional duties. In the professional and social circles of Sheridan he is decidedly a welcome addition and although he has been located here for only a comparatively short time he has already gained a great many friends, who appreciate him for his sterling qualities of character and the interest which he takes in all measures which are undertaken for the moral, mental and material betterment of the community.
