DR. J. W. SARLLS, a leading practitioner of the Medical profession in Henry
County, was born in Gallatin County, Ky., March 1, 1856, the fourth of a
family of seven children born to Elijah and Elizabeth (Hoggins) Sarlls. His
father was born in the State of New York, and devoted the greater portion
of his life to merchandising, but of late years has engaged in farming and
stock raising.  Our subject remained in Gallatin County until he was
sixteen years of age, then went to Ghent, Ky., and attended college for
some time.  In 1874 he commenced to read medicine; attended lectures in
Louisville, Ky., in 1876-77, and in 1877-78 at the Louisville Medical
College; graduated in 1878, and located at Lockport, Henry County, where
he remained three years.  He was very successful and had the confidence and
best wishes of every one in the neighborhood.  But he felt he should get
all the new ideas he could, so in 1881-82 he attended the Jefferson Medical
College at Philadelphia.  He at once returned to his native State, located
in New Castle and remained four years, where he enjoyed a good practice and
the respect of the entire community.  For the last few months he has been
located at Bethlehem.  November 6, 1881, he married Miss Rilda M. Douthit,
of Henry County, daughter of S. P. Douthit, who is an ex-representative of
Henry County.  One child has blessed this union, Mary F.
