ALFRED HURST, M. D., was born October 3, 1818, and is the sixth son of
Peter and Ann (Rust) Hurst, natives of Virginia, and of English descent.
Mrs. Ann Hurst was a niece of Chancellor Kent, the famous author of
"Kent's Commentaries".  Peter Hurst came to Kentucky about 1812, and was
almost immediately drafted for the war, but his eldest son, George, 
became his substitute.  Alfred Hurst was reared on the home farm, and 
received his elementary education at Versailles.  At the age of twenty 
he began to read medicine under Drs. Carter and Blackburn, then entered 
the medical college at Cincinnati, then went to Louisville, graduated 
from the medical department of the Louisville University in 1845, and 
began practice at Versailles with Dr. Carter, the partnership lasting 
one year. In November, 1840, he married Miss Alda, daughter of James 
Craig and granddaughter of Joseph Craig, the celebrated divine.  Mrs. 
Hurst died in March, 1880, the mother of the following children: James, 
Sallie, Katie, Amelia, Elijah C., Bettie A., Horace, Samuel and Mary, 
all of whom died of consumption with the exception of Bettie A., who is 
the wife of Joseph Knuckles.  The Doctor now lives retired on his farm 
of 500 acres, two miles from Midway, Woodford County.
