Greenwood, John Charles, Surgeon Dentist, Ingestre Street, Wanganui. Mr. Greenwood was born in the year 1863, and is the second son of Mr John Greenwood, who for many years practised in the Wanganui district, and is now living in retirement in Nelson. He was educated at public schools and college, afterwards studied his profession under his father, and at seventeen years of age became a qualified dentist. For some years he practised with his father in Wanganui, and then started on his own account in New Plymouth, where he remained for about twelve months. In 1890 Mr. Greenwood went to England and America to gain further experience, and on his return to New Zealand took over his father's practice. The apartments consist of a surgery, with up-to-date appliances, and a waiting room and workrooms. A qualified assistant and a nurse are in attendance. Mr Greenwood takes a keen interest in local affairs, is a member of the Rowing Club, the Savage Club, the Golf Club, and the local lodge of Freemasons. He married Miss Clara Dickson, of Auckland, and has two sons and two daughters.
