WILLIAM V. HUFFMAN, M.D.--Many of the native sons of Kentucky have 
here attained to distinctive success in the various professions, and among the
number is Dr. Huffman, who has gained precedence as one of the
representative physicians and surgeons of Bourbon county and who is
established in the general practice of his profession in the thriving
little city of Millersburg.  His precedence in his exacting vocation is
based alike upon his fine technical ability and his sterling character,
and he holds unassailable position in the confidence and esteem of the
community in which he has elected to establish his home and to render
self-abnegating service in behalf of suffering humanity.  He has shown a
high appreciation of the dignity and responsibility of his profession,
and has kept in close touch with the advances made in both medicine and
surgery, so that he finds himself amply fortified as a diagnostician and
in the employment of the most efficacious remedial agents.
     Dr. Huffman was born in Harrison county, Kentucky, on the 3rd of July,
1858, and is a son of George W. and Lucinda (Jones) Huffman, the former of
whom was born in Harrison county, this state, on the 20th of February, 1826,
and the latter in Bourbon county, on the 15th of September, 1829.  These
dates indicate that the respective families were founded in Kentucky in the
pioneer days, and the names of both have been worthily associated with the
material and social development of the fine old Blue Grass commonwealth.
George W. Huffman became one of the representative agriculturists and
influential citizens of Harrison county, where he continued to reside,
honored by all who knew him, until his death which, occurred in August,
1904.  His cherished and devoted wife, a woman of most gracious
personality, was summoned to the life eternal in October, 1909, and of
their six children four are living--Dr. Lucius D., who is a leading
physician and surgeon of the city of Covington, this state; Dr. William V.,
whose name initiates this sketch; Warder W., who is a representative farmer
of Harrison county; and Mary, who is the wife of Benjamin Harp, a
prosperous agriculturist of the same county.
     Dr. William V. Huffman was reared to the study and invigorating
discipline of the farm, and under its beneficent influences were quickened
his ambition for a wider sphere of endeavor.  He was afforded the
advantages of the public schools of his native county, as well as those of
a well conducted private school, and in 1883 he began the work of preparing
himself for his chosen profession.  He took up the study of medicine under
the effective preceptorship of Dr. J. T. Stuart and of his brother, Dr.
Lucius D. Huffman, both of whom were at that time successful practitioners
in Harrison county, and in 1885 he was matriculated in the celebrated
Jefferson Medical College, in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in
which  he completed the prescribed course and in which he was graduated as
a member of the class of 1887, receiving from this fine old institution
the degree of Doctor of Medicine.  Dr. Huffman served his professional
novitiate by engaging in practice in Corinth, Grant county, Kentucky, where
he remained for a short time, and in March, 1889, he established his
residence in Millersburg, where he has since continued in the active work
of his profession, in which his success has been on a parity with his
recognized ability and unequivocal devotion.  He is one of the leading
representatives of his profession in this section of the state and as a
citizen he is distinctively loyal and public-spirited, taking lively
interest in all that tends to conserve the social and material welfare
of the community and commanding as his own the uniform confidence and
regard of its people.  He and his wife are prominent in connection with
the best social activities of their home city and at their attractive
residence is dispensed a gracious hospitality.  Subordinating all else to
the demands of his profession, Dr. Huffman has been naught of the desire
for political office, though he accords staunch support to the cause of
the Democratic party.  Both he and his wife hold membership in the
Christian church and are active in its work.
     On the 21st of September, 1886, was solemnized the marriage of Dr.
Huffman to Miss Mary L. McKenney, who was born in Harrison county, this
state, on the 22nd of July 1868, and who is a daughter of Richard and
Amanda (Stewart) McKenney, both of whom are now deceased.  Dr. and Mrs.
Huffman became the parents of two children--George Richard, who was born
on March 24, 1896, and Anna Frances, who was born January 5, 1899, her
death occurring on the 24th of September, 1904.
