Dr. Howard S. Kneeland was born June 9th, 1863, in Ionia County, Michigan, 
where he spent the earlier part of his life.  In the spring of 1876 he came 
with his father to Wexford county.  Dr. Kneeland had a great desire for an 
education and with the aid of his father, who was an old school teacher, 
succeeded in getting a good knowledge of the common branches.  In 1888 he was 
appointed Deputy County Clerk and Register of Deeds under Mr. Wall, and 
resigned that office to accept a good position as bookkeeper with the Cummer 
lumber firms, with whom he was associated for ten years.  During the last named 
period he took up the study of dentistry under Dr. G. M. Brown’s instruction, 
and for seven years studied and practiced unceasingly, with the result that he 
was one of the very few who were granted licenses to practice dentistry at the 
rigid examination before the State Board of Dental Examiners.
