DR. W. D. MERIWETHER was born April 21, 1854, in Arkansas; he is a son of
Dr. James H. and Lucy (McClure) Meriwether.  The father was born in Todd
County in 1812, and is now living with his son on this farm.  The mother
was born in Clarksville, Tenn., in 1830, now deceased.  At the close of the
war our subject came to what is known as the Meriville farm, originally
consisting of 900 acres, which as since been increased to 1,300 acres. The
extensive improvements of this farm, which are probably the best in the
precinct, were placed there principally by his uncles, Dr. Charles
Meriwether and W. D. Meriwether, Sr.  They cost several thousand dollars.
This property was willed him by his uncle, who named it the "Meriville
farm."  In 1874 and 1875 our subject attended the University of Virginia,
and graduated at the University of Pennsylvania in the class of 1876; he,
after graduation, practiced at Jefferson County, Ala., one year, then came
to where he now resides and practiced about a year, since which time he has
been engaged in superintending his farm.  He marriage occurred January 10,
1883, to Miss May Barker, of Arkansas, but raised in Tennessee.
