CLEMENT BENEDICT SPALDING, M. D.--Among the names of the younger physicians
and surgeons of Louisville who have attained a satisfying degree of success
is the gentleman whose name heads this sketch and whose name is descended
from a line of ancestry that is a heritage of worth.  He is the descendant
of two old Kentucky families, the Spaldings and the Hills.  The paternal
grandfather was Dr. Benedict Spalding, a native of Marion county, where for
years he was a leading physician, practicing in Lebanon. He was a prominent
man, a true Southerner in everything but one principle, he was an
Abolitionist.  He died soon after the war between the states.  The father
of our subject is Benedict Spalding, who was born in Lebanon, Kentucky, in
1851, was educated in the private school of Professor Failes, who is now
the dean of Centre College, Kentucky, and was graduated from the Harvard
Law School, Harvard University, since which time he has been in active
successful practice in Lebanon, Kentucky.  The maternal grandfather of our
subject was Colonel Thomas P. Hill, one of Kentucky's prominent lawyers,
who was a native of Lincoln county, Kentucky, where he practiced his
profession for years successfully.  He died in Stanford, Kentucky in
December, 1908, at the age of eighty-three years.  Mary, the mother of our
subject, was born in Stanford, Lincoln county, Kentucky.
     Clement Benedict Spalding is one of the younger practitioners in
the medical and surgical art in Louisville, where he is practicing his
profession in connection with Dr. Irvin Abel.  He was born in Lebanon,
Marion county, Kentucky, on April 4, 1880, the son of Benedict Spalding
attorney of that place. Dr. Spalding graduated from Centre College,
Kentucky, with a degree of A. B. in 1901, and from the Louisville,
Kentucky, Medical College in 1904.  He was for one year interne at St.
Joseph's Hospital, Lexington, Kentucky, then, in April 1905, came to
Louisville and engaged in general practice, but at present limits his
practice in a great extent to surgery.  He is a member of the Physicians
and Surgeons Society of Louisville, of the Jefferson County Medical
Society, and of the Louisville Society of Medicine.  He taught anatomy
and surgery at the old Louisville Medical College, and also taught those
same branches in the Louisville Hospital College, and is now demonstrator
of operative surgery in the medical department of the University of
Louisville and visiting surgeon to the Louisville City Hospital.
