DR. CARY B. BLACKBURN was born April 29, 1838, in Woodford County, Ky.,
and is a son of Dr. Luke P., and Ella (Boswell) Blackburn.  He received
his early education in Natchez, Miss., and afterward at college at
Frankfort, Ky., where he graduated in 1858.  He commenced the study of
medicine at once with Dr. Gross, of Philadelphia, and graduated in 1861.
During the prevalence of the yellow fever in Natchez, in 1865, he nobly
aided his father in administering to those afflicted.  He participated
actively in the late Civil war, first as a lieutenant in the Confederate
army, then as lieutenant-colonel of his regiment, and for awhile as
surgeon.  He returned to Kentucky in 1868, and resumed the practice of
medicine at Louisville, where he has established a lucrative business, and
holds an active and honorable position in the profession.  He is a member
of the Kentucky State Medical Society, and is a man of exceptional personal
and professional habits.
