                         WILLIAM H. MATCHETTE, M.D.

     WILLIAM H. MATCHETTE, M.D., of Houghton, Houghton County,
  Michigan, was born in 1876, in Greenville, Ohio, and is a son
  of the late Dr. JOHN E. MATCHETTE, who was born in New Jersey
  and for the space of 30 years was a prominent physician near
  Greenville, Ohio, was auditor of his country for two terms and
  was a Knight Templar in Masonry.  The mother of our subject, 
  Mrs. VIRGINIA (HAMPTON) MATCHETTE, was born in Indiana and
  still survives at the age of 52 years.  In religious connections
  these parents were members of the Protestant Episcopal Church.
  The family consisted of four children, our subject having two
  sisters.
  
     Dr. MATCHETTE was educated in Greenville, Ohio, later at Ann
  Arbor, Michigan, entering the medical department of the University
  of Michigan in 1895 and receiving his diploma as physican and sur-
  geon in 1899.  He immediately located as assistant physician for
  the Tamarack-Osceola Smelting Company, at Dollar Bay, Houghton
  County, Michigan, where he continued one year.  He served four
  months as assistant at the Tamarack Hospital at Calumet, and in
  November, 1900, was appointed county physician.  He then removed
  to Hancock, opened an office there and ever since has enjoyed a 
  wide practice.  Dr. MATCHETTE may be counted one of the leading
  physicians of the place, his skill and ability being very generally
  recognized.  He belongs to the state and county medical associations,
  and takes advantage of all the means for gaining a wider knowledge
  of his profession.
  
     Dr. MATCHETTE is a member of the Protestant Episcopal Church.
  Fraternally, he is a Mason, a Knight of Pythias and an Elk.
