"Dr. James Gordon Kidd, his son*, who has followed in serving the medical needs of this community, was born June 24, 1889. He graduated from Roann High School in 1907, and received his M. D. degree from Indiana University in 1913. Following his internship at Indianapolis General Hospital, he engaged in general practice with his father in Roann from 1914 to 1917 when he enlisted in the Army Medical Corps with the commission of First Lieutenant. After his discharge in 1919 as a Captain he resumed his practice in Roann for about a year. He then entered the U. S. Public Health Service and served in the Veterans' Administration until 1926."
"In that year, Dr. Kidd returned to Roann and has since served the community true to the highest priciples of the medical profession. He has been materially assisted through the years by his wife, Orlena Kidd, a registered nurse, who has generously contributed her services when needed."
