John Daniel Ingle M.D.

John Daniel Ingle, M.D. Dr. John Ingle, age 88, went home to our Lord and Savior on August 19, 2004. John was born in Altus, OK on January 17, 1916, to Rome and Effie Ingle. After graduation from Sayer High School, he attended Bethany Penile College (later Bethany Nazarene College, and now Southern Nazarene University) where he met fellow student and the love of his life Kittie Mae Stockett. They married in 1938. After 3 years at BPC, he attended University of Oklahoma School of Medicine, where he graduated in 1943. After completing his Internship at Wesley Hospital (now Presbyterian Hospital) in OKC, he served in the Army Medical Corp during WWII. He then completed his general surgery training at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio. He returned to OKC and established his medical practice in 1947 first in the Osler Building, and later in the Physicians and Surgeons Building. John and Kittie were members of Westminster Presbyterian Church where he sang in the choir for years, and the OKC Golf and Country Club.
