at Sandwich, Ontario, Canada, and moving to Detroit in 1902. Father
Raymond Champion, pastor of St. Xavier's Catholic church at Ecorse,
Wayne county, Michigan, one of the best known and most beloved
pastors of the section, is an uncle to the doctor, while Father Emanuel
Glemet, pastor of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic church, River Rouge,
Wayne county, is a brother to the doctor.
Raymond B. Glemet received his early educational training in the
public schools of Sandwich, Ontario, which he attended for two years,
and subsequently put in four years at Assumption College, Sandwich.
After his graduation from that institution, he continued his literary
education at Detroit University (Jesuit College), where he spent three
years. In 1903 Dr. Glemet turned his attention to medicine, and after
some preliminary study entered the Detroit College of Medicine, from
which he was graduated with the degree of M. D., class of 1907. Subsequently he took postgraduate work at St. Mary's and Providence Hospitals, and entered the practice of his profession at his present location,
where he maintains his office and resides at No. 218 W. Grand Boulevard in 1910. He is a member of the Wayne County Medical Society,
the Michigan State Medical Society and the American Medical Association, and also holds membership in the Detroit Medical College Alumni
Association, the Phi Beta Phi Society, the Knights of Columbus, and
the C. M. B. A. and Degree of Honor.
On July 11, 1912, Dr. Glemet married Helen Dillon, who was born
in Detroit, Michigan, the daughter of M. W. Dillon, of the firm of Scotten & Dillon, tobacco manufacturers.
JAMES NOBLE GARBER, M. D. Among the members of the Detroit
medical profession who have won success and distinction is Dr. James
N. Garber, whose offices are located in the new Smith building, at the
corner of Griswold and State streets, and also at the corner of Lincoln
and Kirby avenues. Dr. Garber was born at Roaring Springs, Blair
county, Pennsylvania, on November 2, 1868, and is descended from two
old families of the Keystone state. His father, John B. Garber, was
born in Blair county, Pennsylvania, in 1825, and died in that state on
May 19, 1889. The mother of the doctor, Catherine Daniels, was born
in Johnstown, Pennsylvania,- in 1826, and died on December 19, 1889,
only a few months intervening between her decease and the death of her
husband. The Daniels family were in Pennsylvania before the present
city of Philadelphia was laid out.
Dr. Garber was reared in Blair county until his nineteenth year.
He received his early education in the public schools of his home town,
and then learned the cabinet maker's trade at which he worked for
a number of years. When still a young man he went to Ohio and spent
some time at Mount Vernon and Bowling Green. He then became a
student at the Ohio Northern University at Ada, Ohio, where he took
the four-year course and was graduated with the degree of B. S. He
also took a course in chemistry at the University, but left college a fortnight prior to the time when he would have been graduated in that
branch. Leaving the University, the young man entered Lima (Ohio)
College, there spending one year, and in 1903 he entered the Detroit
College of Medicine, from which he was graduated with the class of
1907, with the degree of M. D. While a medical student he served as an
externe to Harper Hospital in 1906-07. In 1907 he entered the general
practice of medicine in Detroit, first locating his offices at No. 437 Commonwealth avenue, later removing them to No. 488 Lincoln avenue, corner of Kirby avenue, and still later opening his main offices in the
Smith building.
