WATSON W. GAILEY, Physician, Ashland, was born near Newcastle,
Pa., July 19, 1842, of Scotch parentage, and claims an ancestry
back to the House of Stuart; the grand maternal uncle of his
mother, Elizabeth Stuart Macready, being none other than Charles
Stuart, the Pretender; his father John Gailey, is a descendant of
one of those gallant Highlanders who were banished from their
native land, and took refuge in North of Ireland.  Our subject,
after obtaining an ordinary education, attended medical lectures
in Philadelphia.  In 1862, he entered the medical service of the
United States, and was assigned to duty in front of Richmond. 
After the close of the war, the Doctor traveled to some extent,
but finally located in Morgan Co., Ill., at the little village of
Prentice, which has so decreased since the rise of Ashland, that
it is almost obliterated.  He has a fine practice.  April 13,
1865, he married Miss Luella E. Carson, daughter of John and
Nancy Carson, who bore him two children, Ernest C. and Louis,
both of whom are dead.  Mrs. Watson also died July 19, 1868.  In
January, 1873, he married Miss Lizzie M. Sinclair, daughter of
Samuel Sinclair (Virginia Sam).  Four boys have blessed this last
marriage: Byron, Darwin Spencer, Eugene, Paul and Marsh Draper,
the last named being now dead.  In 1877 the Doctor built a fine
residence at Ashland, where he resides.  He has a very extensive
practice, and always keeps fully up to the front in advanced
medical and surgical practice.  He is a republican in politics
and religion, meaning by the latter that the acknowledges the
good in all churches.
