DR. JOSHUA N. HOWARD, Morgantown, Butler County, was born in Bedford 
County, Tenn., June 3, 1827, and passed his first five years in the home 
of his birth.  His parents then removed to Robertson County, in the same 
State, where he was brought up and educated.  In 1857 he removed to 
Adairville, Logan County, where, in 1862, he commenced the practice of 
medicine, he having studied that profession with Dr. A. M. Henrickson, 
and graduated at the university at Louisville, in the department of 
medicine.  In February, 1863, he again made a change of residence, and 
became a practitioner in Morgantown, where he now resides.  He has been 
a member of the Methodist Church from boyhood, and since 1852 has been a 
member of the I.O.O.F., and filled every position in the lodge.  In 1871

Greenback party.  The Doctor has been twice married, first in 1847, to 
Miss Martha Strain, of Robertson County, Tenn., who bore him two
