WARD, JOHN G., son of Dr. George W. and Emma M. (GILMAN) WARD, was born in St. Johnsbury in 1878. Dr. George W. WARD is well known in this section as a successful veterinary surgeon and horse breeder, and is at present located at Newport, Vermont, as government inspector of live stock, at five points of entry.  John G. began in early boyhood to assist his father and to study and observe practical veterinary work, and for the past eight years has practiced, either with his father or by himself, and at present has a large and increasing patronage in this section. 

      He is a veterinary by birth and training, a practical man. His home and office is in Summerville, near the Ely works, where his father was in practice many years. The veterinary practice is steadily increasing, and the practitioner is regarded with favor and esteem as an indispensable factor in the community. Mr. WARD married Miss Lizzie BLAIR of Canada.
