CARROLL CHAPMAN ENGLISH, M.D., is one of the younger physicians of
Louisville, who has met with most gratifying success and secured a practice
of which many an older physician might well be proud.  A native son, his
birth occurred in Elizabethtown, Hardin county, Kentucky, on the 4th day of
March, 1878, the son of Wood English, who was born in Hardin county,
Kentucky, in 1845, the son John English, a native of Virginia, who was the
Kentucky pioneer of the English family.  The mother of the Doctor was Myra
Chapman, who was born in Hartford, Hart county, Kentucky, the daughter of
William Carroll Chapman, a native of Kentucky, whose ancestors are of
Virginia stock.  The grandfather English was a planter and slave holder and
the grandfather Chapman was a merchant. For many years the father of the
Doctor was engaged extensively in agricultural pursuits and live stock
dealing, and was one of the largest stock dealers in Kentucky, but has now
retired from active business life.  Both the English and Chapmans are of
the Baptist religious faith.
     Dr. English was reared in Hardin county, where he received his
preliminary education in attendance at the public schools, and he was
prepared for college at Hardin Collegiate Institute, after which he entered
Georgetown College, where he took a course of study extending over a
period of two years.  Determining to prepare himself as completely as
possible for his profession, he next entered the medical department from
that institution with the degree of M.D. in April, 1904.  Thus, having with
study, experiment and observation acquired all that was possible outside
of actual experience to the successful practice of his profession, he
then went into the general practice in Louisville, and has demonstrated
that his studies were founded upon the rock of the tried experience of
those who have studied to win the best results of the day, and that he has
been successful has been proven by the results.
     In the spring of 1905 he became a teacher in the medical department
of the University of Louisville, in charge of the children's clinic, and
is still connected with that institution.  He was house physician of the
University of Louisville for one year.  He is a member of the Jefferson
Medical Society, the Kentucky State Medical Society and the American
Medical Association.  He is also a member of the Audubon County Club, the
Tavern Club and the Phi Chi Medical Fraternity, and his religious views
connect him with the Baptist Church.
