EMMETT F. HORINE, M.D.--As one of the representative physicians and
surgeons of the younger generation in the city of Louisville, Dr. Horine is
especially entitled to recognition in this publication, while further
interest attaches to his career from the fact that he is a native son of
Kentucky.
     Dr. Emmet Field Horine was born in Brooks, Bullitt County, Kentucky,
on the 3rd of August, 1885, and is a son of Dr. George and Elizabeth B.
(Barrall) Horine.  Dr. George Horine was born in Bullitt county on the 10th
of April, 1857, and was a son of Jacob Horine, who was likewise a native of
the same county, where he was born on the 27th of February, 1824, and where
his death occurred on the 10th of December, 1876.  Jacob Horine married
Emily Ann Foster, who was born in Bullitt county on the 9th of April, 1835,
and who died December 7th, 1865.  Jacob Horine was a son of Captain George
Horine, who was born in a German settlement in western Pennsylvania, on the
25th of April, 1790, and whose death occurred January 30, 1877.  He married
Margaret Kennedy and became one of the influential and honored citizens of
Bullitt county, Kentucky, where he owned a valuable landed estate on Knob
Creek.  On the 27th of January, 1829, Governor Thomas Metcalfe commissioned
him a captain in the Thirty-second Regiment, First Brigade of the Kentucky
Militia, and this commission is treasured as a valuable heirloom of Dr.
Emmet F. Horine, whose name introduces this review.  Captain Horine was
requested to recruit men in Bullitt county and with them to assist in the
defense of General Gaines, who was then operating on the Sabine river in
Louisiana.  Captain Horine was a son of Jacob Horine, who was born in one
of the Rhenish provinces of Germany, about 1750.  This worthy ancestor
emigrated to America about 1770 and located in the western part of
Pennsylvania.  He became a member of the Pennsylvania militia and assisted
in subduing the Indians at the time of the memorable Wyoming massacre.  In
the war of the Revolution he was found enrolled as a valiant soldier in the
Continental line.  He married Barbara Schwartz, in 1780, and in 1795 they
removed to Mercer county, Kentucky, where they remained until 1798, when
they established their home in Bullitt county, about one and a half miles
distant from the Jefferson county line.  There Jacob Horine secured several
hundred acres of land and reclaimed a valuable farm, thus being the founder
of the family in Kentucky.  Jacob Horine was a son of Frederick Horine, who
was born in Germany, in 1715, and who served as a soldier in the German
army, in the reign of Frederick the Great.
     Elizabeth B. (Barrall) Horine, mother of Dr. Horine, was born in
Bullitt county, Kentucky, and is a daughter of Silas F. Barrall, who was
likewise a native of that county and who died in January, 1910, at the age
of seventy-six years.  The lineage of the Barrall family is traced back to
staunch French lineage, and Christian Barrall, grandfather of Mrs.
Elizabeth B. Horine, was a native of France, whence he came to America as
a young man, becoming one of the early settlers of Louisville, Kentucky.
Dr. George Horine was graduated in the Kentucky School of Medicine, in
1879, and secured first honors of his class, being awarded a medal for the
highest class averages in surgery and materia medica.  After his graduation
he began the practice of his profession at Brooks, Bullitt county, and
eventually he turned his attention more particularly to the treatment of
the diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat, in connection with which
he completed a thorough post-graduate course.  He continued in practice in
his native county until 1892, when he removed to Americus, Georgia, where
he was engaged in the work of his profession along the special lines noted
until his death, which occurred on the 8th of December, 1903.  He was
survived by his wife, one son and one daughter, and after his death they
returned to Kentucky and established their home in Louisville.
     Dr. Emmett F. Horine was about seven years of age at the time of the
family removal to Americus, Georgia, to whose public schools he is indebted
for his early educational training.  Thereafter he entered Emory College,
at Oxford, Georgia, where he was a student in 1902-03, but he withdrew from
this institution while an undergraduate by reason of the death of his
father.  After the removal of the family to Louisville, where his mother
still maintains her home, he entered the Kentucky School of Medicine, in
which he was graduated as a member of the class of 1907, and from which he
received his well earned degree of Doctor of Medicine.  In his junior year
he received a gold medal for the highest average in scholarship, and in
reward for having achieved the highest average in his senior year he was
appointed to the position of interne in St. Anthony's Hospital, in
Louisville, where he retained this incumbency for fifteen months and where
he gained most valuable clinical experience.  At the expiration of the
period noted the Doctor engaged in the general practice of his profession
in Louisville, and here he is proving very successful in the vocation that
was likewise dignified and honored by the services of this father. He is a
member of the Jefferson County Medical Society, the Kentucky State Medical
Society and the American Medical Association and is a close observer of the
ethics of his profession, so that he has gained the unqualified confidence
and esteem of his confreres, both of his own and the younger generations.
