Biographical Note

Charles Eddy Dukenfield (1851-1931) M.D., was a graduate of the Buffalo University Medical Department (1882). Raised in Ontario Co., New York. His residence at time of graduation was Allen's Hill, a section of Richmond in that county. He later moved to McMinnville, Oregon (1889). He had the misfortune of most written sources misspelling his name. Larsell's "Doctor in Oregon" has him listed as "L.E. Dukenfield" in McMinnville. Polk's Medical Directory (1890) is one of the few that correctly spell his name. Polk's Directory lists him in consecutive editions 1890-1904.
