that the iron bridge across Pond River was erected.  He was for a time a

in his seventy-fourth year.  He and wife were members of the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church.  William T. McNary received a good classical education
at Greenville College, and at the age of twenty years commenced the study of
medicine under Dr. Thomas H. Moore, of Madisonville, Ky., afterward attended
the Medical College of Ohio at Cincinnati.  In January, 1871, he commenced
the practice of his profession at Nebo, where he has since secured a large
