Dr. Bland Write* of Dentistry
In Daplln County
Dentistry in Duplin County, prior
to the end of the 19th century,
consisted mainly of extracting aching
teeth bv the family physician, or
some man in the community who
owned one or more extracting for
cepts and sometimes a turn key, and
would pull a tooth when necessary to
relieve suffering.
If other types of dental services
were desired, it was necessary to go
to Wilmington, Goldsboro, Fayette
ville or Kinston where practicing
dentists could be found.
About the turn of the present
century, there were dentists in
Duplin County who did not confine
? their practice to one place. They took
their equipment to certain localities
I by horse and buggy or practiced
in the home ot some friends for
i several days at a time.
I A general practice, such as, was
* carried on in their regular office.
? Also, some of the dentists who lived
in Sampson County practiced the
I same type of dentistry by traveling
? into Duplin County. Dr. D.H. Ray
' and Dr. J.C.D. Herring were two
J dentists of Sampson County who did
- this type of practice.
Dr. Herring later opened an office
\ in Warsaw and practiced there the
? rest of his life.
There were the three Boyette
' brothers who were born and reared
; near Warsaw and in their early
careers practiced in Duplin County.
! Dr. Jim Boyette later located in
; Goldsboro, Dr. Charlie settled in
Clinton, and Dr. Frank stayed in
Warsaw and practiced there the
same time as Dr. Herring.
Dr. H.E. Newbury practiced
dentistry in Warsaw for a short while
around 1910, as did Dr. Charlie
Bass. A little later Dr. W.E. Hines
practiced in Warsaw for a number of
years until he and Dr. Newbury
retired from dentistry to engage in
other business activities, and Dr.
Bass died.
Dr. S.E. Butler went to Warsaw
and opened an office there about
1916. He practiced there until the
middle 1920s when he moved to
Scotland Neck, where he later died.
Dr. A.B. Bland began his practice
in Warsaw in the fall of 1919. He
remained there until the fall of 1927
then moved to Durham to practice
his profession.
Dr. Alvin Mallard began his
practice in Warsaw during the
summer of 1921, and about 1926 he
went to Goldsboro where he still
actively engages in dentistry.
Dr. Harvey Kornegay began his
practice in Warsaw during trie fall of
1927 and later went into the Army as
a dental officer.
Dr. Alexander went to Warsaw
about 1930 and opened a dental
office, but left in a few years to
practice in some other place. Dr.
Smith located in Warsaw and prac
ticed there for a few years. He was
followed by Dr. J.M. Kornegay. Dr.
Mett Ausley went to Warsaw in 1954
to begin a practice of dentistry. He
and Dr. Kornegay are still looking
after the dental needs of Warsaw.
Dr. Ira Hawes began the practice
of dentistty in Rose Hill during the
early part of this century and con
tinued until his death in the late
1930s.
Dr. Carl S. Sloan began his
practice in Wallace early in the 1900s
and continued until his death about
1930.

in Wallace about 1915. He left
Wallace in a year or two, going to
Durham, where he is still actively
engaged in dentistry.

office in Wallace about 1916, after
practicing several years in Rose Hill.
