The Doctor received his education at Georgetown, and then took up the study of medicine, subsequently graduating from the medical department of Transylvania University of Lexington, and also received a degree of M. D. from a medical college in Louisville, which he attended; he located first in Trimble County, Ky., where he practiced for five years; he then removed from there to Scott County, Ky., from whence he removed to Jacksonville, Bourbon Co., in 1859; he owns a nice farm of 91 acres, which he has rented. This place, near Jacksonville, is known as "Alta Monte."
