ticed in his native city until 1874, when he removed to Jacksonville and began the practice of his profession in that city ; he has been closely attentive to his business, and has established an extensive practice ; he is a member of the Peoria local and State Dental Society ; his office is supplied with all the necessary appliances known to the profession ; the operating rooms are sep- arated from the reception rooms, and every convenience is offered to those desiring his professional services; especial attention is given to the preservation of the natural teeth and their filling; his plate work in- cludes artificial teeth made on any base : mineral, whalebone, celuloid, gold, or sil- ver. Those in want of good work, neatly and accurately executed, will do well to call and see Dr. Widenham. Wm.

The family are descendants from Widen- ham Castle, 18 miles from Cork, Ireland. The old castle is still standing. They have had ten children, of whom the following only are living: John C. Widenham, den- tist, in Jacksonville; Wm. W. jr., carpet store, Peoria, Ill .; Miss Lizzie W., Peoria, Ill., and Margaret W. (now Mrs. James M. Hadley) of Peoria, Ill.
