James Clyde Johnson, M. D., president of the Fort Bend County Medical Society, and one of the ablest physicians and surgeons of Richmond, has practiced at Richmond since 1892. His equipment and training for the profession are the results of long study and work in the best schools of the country. After attending the public schools in his old hometown of Woodville, Texas, where his father was an honored physician, he went to Southeast Texas College at Jasper and began his medical studies under the direction of his father. He then entered the medical department of Vanderbilt University at Nashville. While still a junior he received a certificate from the district board of medical examiners, and for a year and a half practiced at Cold Springs in San Jacinto County, Texas. He then continued his studies in Tulane University, New Orleans, and was graduated and received the degree of M. D., March 27, 1884. In 1890 he again took a full course of lectures at Tulane, and in 1908 did post-graduate work in the Chicago Polyclinic. After his graduation in 1884 he returned to Cold Springs, practiced there five years, and in Liberty County three years, and in 1892 located at Richmond.
