James North, M.D., D.D.S., was born in West Waterville, Kennebec County, Maine, September 2, 1855. Came to Hammonton in 1859, in whose schools, together with the State Normal School at West Chester, Pa., and Bryant & Stratton's Business College in Philadelphia, he was educated. He graduated from Jefferson Medical College in 1880, and practiced the profession of medicine in Hammonton for two years with signal success, giving up the same for the profession of dentistry, taking the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery from the Philadelphia Dental College in 1883.

He located in Atlantic City in the spring of that year, and has by skill and attention built up the largest and most lucrative practice in South Jersey. The Doctor is a Past Grand Chancellor of the Scottish Rite and a thirty-second degree Mason, Past Master of Trinity Lodge, Past High Priest of Trinity Chapter, Past Sachem of Pequod Tribe, Past Grand of American Star Lodge, Past Chief of Ocean Castle, Past Regent of the R.A., and a popular member of some twenty other secret, fraternal and social societies. As a speaker he has few equals, his speeches being models of beauty and eloquence.

He enjoys the title of "Poet Laureate of Atlantic County," though his reputation as a master of verse is not limited by its boundaries. The Doctor is a Republican in principle and profession, but not an office seeker. He was married in 1883 to Miss Cora E. Faunce, and has two daughters, Mary Eliza and Cora Marguerite.
