DARWIN D. EADS, physician, Ruddel's Mills; was born in Harrison County,
Ky., May 11, 1836, son of John and Ellen (McMillan) Eads; he is a native
of Spottsylvania [sic] County, Va., coming to Kentucky about 1810, but
having been married in Virginia, and his wife dying previous to his
leaving that State.  Mr. John Eads was a farmer, and passed the best part
of his life in Harrison County, where he died in 1836, his wife surviving
him and marrying, in 1842, Wm. W. Bowman, of Bourbon County, afterward
moving to Illinois, where she is still residing.  Our subject remained on
the farm until sixteen years of age, when he entered the Ohio Weslyan
University, at Delaware, Ohio, which he left while in his junior year. In
the fall of 1857 he entered Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, from
which institution he graduated in 1859, and located at Ruddel's Mills,
where he has since had a lucrative practice.  Dr. Eads was first married
in 1862, to Miss Jennie, daughter of Thomas Isgrig, of Harrison County;
she died, and Dr. Eads married his second wife Miss Anna, daughter of Frank
Adair, of this county, who died in 1876, leaving one child, Benjamin
Brindly Eads, now eleven years old.  For his third wife, Dr. Eads married
Miss Avonia Matheny, daughter of Dr. Matheny of Louisville.  Mr. and Mrs.
Eads are members of the M. E. Church, and he is a Mason and an Odd Fellow;
