Dr. J. Lee Byron
Dr. Byron is a native Georgian. He was born in Coweta County just before the war between the states. His parents moved to Carroll County and settled on a farm near Carrolton, where his mother still lives. After acquiring a liberal education he commenced teaching within two hundred yards of the old school house where he first entered school, teaching many children of parents with whom he had been a student in his early boyhood. After teaching there three years he went to visit his sister who lived in Arkansas, and taught there for two years. When he returned to Georgia he went into the drug store of his brother-in-law, Dr. J. C. Brown, at Whitesburg, now of Carrolton, and studied pharmacy and medicine four years. He then entered the Atlanta Medical College in 1885, from which he graduated March 4th, 1887, and came to Jackson in April following. By his unwavering and close application to business he has made an enviable reputation. He is industrious, painstaking, ambitious and admirable equipped in professional learning. Though modest and unassuming, he is active and untiring, ever anxious to learn whatever will be conductive to the furtherance of his profession, do credit to his calling and benefit suffering humanity. The doctor is so congenial and pleasant that the sick feel better in his presence, and his very successful practice has so inspired confidence in his ability, until people would really be surprised to ear of one of his patients dying, which they never do when their sickness is caused from anything a full knowledge of medicine well applied to the case can remove.
The following life insurance companies for all of which he is medical examiner, hold him in high esteem: Washington Life, New York; Manhattan, New York; Mutual Benefit, Newark, N. J.; Massachusetts Benefit, Boston; Fidelity Mutual, Philadelphia; Neverland(?) Life, Amsterdam, Holland.
Elsewhere we give a fair representation of his residence on Main street, but the picture of himself does not do him full justice. Jackson and Buts County are proud of all such men as Dr. J. Lee Byron.
