FRANK H. GAINES, M. D. is a native of Sullivan County, Tenn., was born
November 24, 1832, and is a son of Samuel D. and Sarah E. Gaines, of
Tennessee and Alabama, respectively, and of Virginian descent.  His
great-uncle, Gen. Edmund P. Gaines, of Revolutionary fame, was commander-
in-chief of the patriot army at one time, and it was he who caused the
arrest of Aaron Burr, for treason.  Both the Doctor's grandfathers were
soldiers during the Revolution, and served in the patriot army.  The
Gaines family are of English extraction, and came from one of the kings
that reigned during the Heptarchy.  Frank H. Gaines remained on the farm
until eighteen years old, when he went to Virginia to read medicine.  In
1853-54 he was a student at the University of Louisville; in 1856 he
graduated from the medical department of the University of Nashville, and
then attended Jefferson College, Philadelphia, and Bellevue, New York,
and the College of Physicians and Surgeons.  At the breaking out of the
war he returned to Tennessee, and in 1861 united with the Second Tennessee
Battalion, Confederate service, and after the first year did duty as
surgeon until the close of the struggle.  He then practiced a short time
at Warsaw, Ky., and in 1869 settled in Carroll County, where he still
resides, engaged in the active discharge of his professional duties.  In
October, 1857, he married Miss Almira McFarland, a native of Tennessee,
who died in 1882, the mother of five children.  In 1883 the Doctor married
Mrs. Priscilla (Lindsay) Fisher, daughter of Gen. Jesse Lindsay, of Carroll
County, Ky.  The Doctor is a Freemason and an Odd Fellow.
