WILLIAM J. MOONEY, D. D. S.
 


	Since 1919 Dr. William J. Mooney has engaged in the practice of
dentistry in Regina and he has a gratifying patronage. He was born in
Pakenham, Ontario, on the 18th of March, 1890, a son of William and
Margaret (Stanton) Mooney, the former a native of Pakenham, and the
latter of Fitzroy Harbour, Ontario.  Both the paternal and maternal
grandparents came from Ireland at an early day. Mr. Mooney engaged
in farming for many years and his labors were crowned with success.
He is now living retired in Pakenham, a highly respected and esteemed
citizen. Mr. Mooney was married to Margaret Stanton in Fitzroy Har-
bour and to them eight children have been born, all of whom are living,
William J. Mooney of this review, being the third in order of birth. Mr.
and Mrs. Mooney are consistent communicants of the Roman Catholic
church and the father is a stanch supporter of the Liberal party.
	The public schools of his birthplace afforded William J. Mooney his
preliminary education and he attended high school in Shortridge, Indiana,
United States of America. For several years he traveled for the Reeves
Threshing Machine Company of Columbus, Indiana, while attending
school, and he also traveled out of Regina. His. boyhood ambition was
to become a dentist and in 1914 he entered a dental college at Indian-
apolis, Indiana, where he was a student until 1917, in which year the
D. D. S. degree was conferred upon him. He then received an appoint-
ment as medical interne at the School for Feeble-Minded, at Fort Wayne,
Indiana, and subsequently removed to Fowler, Indiana, where he prac-
ticed six months. At the termination of that time he went to the North-
western University, Chicago, and took postgraduate work. He was
appointed on the exemption board at Silver City, New Mexico, during the
Great war and he remained in that city, practicing his profession, for
about one year.  In 1919 he came to Regina and has since practiced
here.  He is a man of genial and pleasing personality, is thoroughly
versed in his profession and is worthy of his success.
	In August, 1919, Dr. Mooney was married to Miss Elizabeth Lynett,
who was born in Ayton, Ontario, where she received her education. She
was employed in the Land Titles office in Regina for some time prior to
her marriage to Dr. Mooney.  She possesses great personal charm and
is prominent in club and social circles.
	The religious faith of the Doctor is that of the Catholic church and
he is a consistent communicant of the Holy Rosary church.  He is an
active member of the Knights of Columbus, in which organization he is
now grand knight, and he also holds membership in the Benevolent Pro-
tective Order of Elks. He is a member of the Kiwanis Club and the
Wascana Country Club. He is very fond of golf and spends much of
his spare time in that sport. During his school days Dr. Mooney played
hockey. Along strictly professional lines he is identified with the Dental
Association of Regina and was president of the association in 1919. He
is devoted to his profession and he has little time for outside interests,
although he is ever ready to support measures for the upbuilding of
Regina. By reason of his close application and thoroughness the Doctor
has reached the creditable place he now occupies.
