Trezevant - Madison Parish, Louisiana From Journal of the American Medical Association pp 518-519, April 5, 1890 George T. Trezevant, M.D. Dr. George T. Trezevant died at Abilene, Tex., on February 7, 1890, after an illness of ten days resulting from an attack of la grippe. Dr. Trezevant was born in 1846 in Hines Co., Miss., whence he removed in 1852 to Madison Parish, La. At the age of 16 he entered the Confederate Army, in which he served until the close of the war, when he began the study of medicine, graduating in New Orleans in 1869. Engaging at once in his profession at his home, he soon enjoyed a large and lucrative practice, but in 1875, being forced by ill health to leave his home, he decided to resume practice in Abilene, Tex., where he soon became known as a popular and successful practitioner. As a physician he stood among the first; as a man he was bold and fearless in the discharge of his duty. He was indeed the true type of a Southern gentleman. While living in Louisiana he filled several offices of trust with honor to himself and to his parish. He was a member of the American Medical Association. An aged mother, a wife, four children and a brother, together with hosts of friends, mourn his loss.
