WILLIAM L. JUDKINS, M. D., a prominent physician of Barnesville, Ohio, who is associated in practice with his father, Dr. J. A. Judkins, was born in Barnesville. His mother, Marietta (Lewis) Judkins, was also born there. The medical profession has been an attractive one to the Judkins family, and the great-grandfather of the subject of this sketch, Dr. Carolus Judkins, was a pioneer settler in Barnesville, in 1809.      The birth of Dr. William L.

His medical reading had been done under the tutorship of his father, who is a leading physician of Belmont County. After quitting Oberlin, he entered the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania. from which he graduated in 1894. He entered into partnership with his father, the firm name being J. A. Judkins & Son, and has shown every indication of becoming as noted in the profession as his father. Politically, he is one of the leading young Republicans of the city. Fraternally, he is connected with the Knights of Pythias.      On September 12, 1899, Dr. Judkins married Blanche McKeever, a daughter of Elliot McKeever, of Moline, Illinois. One daughter, Esther, resulted from this union. Dr. Judkins takes an active interest in civic affairs, and since the spring of 1901 has been a member of the City Council.
