JAMES BARNSFATHER, M. D., was born in Banff, Scotland, in 1838, a son of
Stenhouse Barnsfather, who was professor of languages in the academy in
Banff; the latter was a son of James Barnsfather of Stenton, Scotland.
The mother of our subject was Margaret (Clyne) Barnsfather, daughter
of a distinguished naval officer under Lord Nelson, and a niece of the
Governor of Tasmania. James Barnsfather, the subject of this sketch, came
to the Untied States in 1870, and became a naturalized citizen in 1877.
In 1869 he was elected a member of the Pharmaceutical Society of Great
Britain. He was educated in Latin, Greek and French in Edinburgh,
Scotland, attended the high school, then served an apprenticeship at the
latter place in chemistry and pharmacy. He read medicine at Cincinnati,
and attended both the Miami and Cincinnati Colleges, graduating in 1873.
He located in Cincinnati, where he still practices, though his residence
is in Dayton, Ky., where he also has an office and drug store. In addition
to the large practice that has engaged the Doctor he has been a close
student and investigator, and in consequence has contributed to the
literature of his profession articles that have attracted universal
attention, some of them being innovations on old and long accepted
theories. In 1871 he married Annie Dernbach, who died November 8, 1876,
and the Doctor then married Anna Belle Clark, daughter of John S. Clark,
of Pleasureville, Ky. Dr. Barnsfather has an extensive practice, and is
quoted throughout the United States as an eminent authority on different
branches of surgery, gynecology and medicine.
