See History of Arizona medicine; collections of Orville Harry Brown, M.D. [AHSL Special Collections WZ 70 AA7 H673]: “La Duron, Jas. Fernando…license number: 1213; graduated Univ. of Louisville 6/3/1920; Superior, Ariz.; previous residence: Muncie, Ind.”
Dr Jules F. LaDuron (Jan. 8, 1893 - Feb. 14, 1980). Graveside services for Dr. Jules F. LaDuron, controversial Muncie physician, whose 55-year career locally included several brushes with the law, will be at 2 p.m. Monday in Beech Grove Cemetery. The body will be cremated and there will be no calling hours. Meeks Mortuary is in charge of arrangements. Dr. LaDuron, 86, died Thursday night in Ball Hospital after an apparent heart attack. He had been rushed to the hospital after becoming ill at his residence, 4909 E. Jackson. A Central High School graduate, Dr. LaDuron was a Muncie native. He fulfilled his medical education at Louisville (Ky.) Medical College. Survivors include his wife, Rena; a daughter, Mrs. Ernest (Suzanne) Stonecipher, Muncie; a sister, Mrs. George (Adelle) King Jr., Fort Lauderdale, Fla.; and eight grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his first wife who hanged herself in Louisville in the late 1920's and by a son, Jacq, a Muncie pharmacist who died about two years ago. Dr. LaDuron's second wife, Freda, disappeared in 1937. Despite massive search effort, including reward offers, she was never found. Despite Dr. LaDuron's confrontations with police and the courts, he was often praised by friends and patients. He first was arrested in 1950 after two men from Terre Haute were killed in his office at 615 S. Liberty. Dr. LaDuron, who said the two were trying to steal money from him, was later acquitted on a manslaughter charge after claiming self-defense. Another acquittal came on a charge of selling dangerous drugs in 1970, after a 1969 police raid on his office. Dr. LaDuron also was charged with attacking former police chief Richard Heath, then head of the Muncie Police narcotics division. Dr. LaDuron was accused of attacking Heath with a bayonet, but the assault charge was later dropped. The doctor faced trial on the drug charge during 1972 in Grant Circuit Court in Marion and was acquitted due to what the judge termed ambiguities in the state's dangerous drug act. Dr. LaDuron was convicted of violating the state's drug act in 1972 in connection with the sale of amphetamines in December 1970, to an undercover Anderson policeman. After appeals, he was given a six-month sentence and $500 fine. In December 1975, agents of the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration revoked Dr. LaDuron's registration which had permitted him to purchase and prescribe controlled drugs, including narcotics. Dr. LaDuron's medical license was revoked a year later by the Indiana Medical Licensing Board. Dr. LaDuron was a member of the American Medical Association, Delaware Post 19 of the American Legion and Eagles Lodge 231. He was a World War I Army veteran.
