C. C. GODSHAW, M.D., is of French origin, but was born in Louisville,
February 9, 1853.  He is a son of Morris and Esther Godshaw, natives of
Lorraine, France, and who came to this country fifty years ago.  The elder
Godshaw is one of the old and prominent merchants of Louisville, and was
in the queensware and chinaware business for forty years; he is still
living and is seventy-eight years of age.  The subject, Dr. Godshaw, was
brought up and educated in this city, graduating from the Male High School
in 1871.  He read medicine under the supervision of Drs. Cowling and
Cummins, and entered the medical department of Louisville University, from
which he graduated in 1874.  As a further qualification for the profession
he had chosen, he studied in the hospitals of New York for a year, and in
1875 went to Europe, studying in the hospitals of London, Paris, Vienna
and Berlin, taking a thorough course in medicine and surgery; also
devoting special attention to the diseases of women and children.  After
about three years spent in Europe, he returned to Louisville.  He is a
member of the hospital medical staff--and obstetrician to the City
Hospital.  Dr. Godshaw was married January 31, 1877, to Sidonia Marcus, of
Louisville. Three children is the result of this marriage.
