He is one of the widely known and popular physicians in his section of the country. His residence in Wisconsin dates from the early times of its pioneer settlement. He can remember walking four miles to see the first threshing machine ever operated in connection with a fanning mill, and when his parents first settled in the county there was not another horse in the township where they located, all the work being done by ox teams. Every year of his residence in this section has brought Dr. Voorus increasing success and popularity. His professional practice is continually growing and the efficiency of his methods entitle him to a high and honorable place among his colleagues.
