     MORTIMER JAMES LUCIAN BURCHARD, deceased, was for many years one of
the leading physicians of Princeton, Kentucky.  He was born
in Crawford county, Pennsylvania, August 20, 1820, and his death
occurred in Princeton, Kentucky, February 5, 1899.  His father was
also a native of Pennsylvania, where he lived and died, and was a
farmer by occupation.
     Mortimer J. L. Burchard was reared by his grandparents in
Pennsylvania, receiving his elementary education in the common
schools of that state and was a graduate of the medical department
of the Cambridge (Massachusetts) University.  He studied the
allopathic system, but afterward became learned in homeopathy and
introduced the latter system in Princeton.  He was first engaged in
the drug business in Hamilton, Ohio, where he remained until 1861,
and in that year enlisted for service in the Civil war in the
Confederate army, serving throughout the entire struggle as a
surgeon, and at its close located in Birmingham, Kentucky, where he
continued to practice the homeopathic school of medicine with great
success.  Finally, however, at the urgent request of friends, he
came to Princeton, and here he continued in the active practice of
his chosen profession until his life's labors were ended in death.
     Dr. Burchard was first married to Hettie Boyd, a native of
Iowa, who died shortly after her marriage, having become the mother
of one child, James B.  In 1890 the Doctor was united in marriage,
in Caldwell county, Kentucky, to Mrs. Pauline Watkins, the widow of
E. P. Watkins, who was born and reared in North Carolina but came to
this section, and served as circuit clerk of Caldwell county.  Two
children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Watkins, -- Lucy and Webb, both
born and reared in Caldwell county.  Mr. Watkins died in this county
in 1865.  Mrs. Burchard is the daughter of Isaac and Catherine Gray,
early pioneers of this section of the state, and the father was
engaged in the stave business during the greater part of his life. 
His death occurred in Caldwell county.  Dr. Burchard was a Democrat
in his political affiliations, and fraternally was a member of the
Masonic order, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Knights
of Pythis.  His religious views connected him with the Cumberland
Presbyterian church, of which he was a worthy member, and he was
numbered among the leading and honored citizens of Princeton.
