Dr. J.M. Lee Returns to Sampson County, Jan. 11, 1921

An erstwhile Sampsonian, having been out of the county for 12 years, Dr. J.M. Lee, has come back to make his home and to continue the practice of medicine among his kith and kin in Sampson. Dr. Lee left Sampson a number of years ago and entered Rules Creek academy. From there he went o Wake Forest College for two years and on the Medical College of Virginia to receive his M.D. degree in 1916. At that time Hopewell, Va., was a flourishing city and Dr. Lee began his practice among the ammunition manufacturers soon after his graduation from the Medical College. Since the war, Hopewell has lost its standing on the map and Dr. Lee did the logical and came to the best county in the world to make his home and to dispense the balm of healing to his kinspeople.

Being a Sampsonian, Dr. Lee is no stranger. He is a nephew to Whit Tart and is related more or less to the Lees as well as every other native of the county. Dr. Lee is making his home with Mr. R.D. Vann, near Newton Grove, and confines his practice to the length and bounds of North Carolina and Sampson county and wish the best for him in his work.
