George P. Young, M. D. is a native of Russellville, Ky., and was born on March 18, 1850. His parents, George L. and Louisa F. Young, were of English and English-Scotch descent, respectively. The father was probably born in Richmond, Va., but he lived and died in Kentucky. He followed farming as a life vocation. His widow is still living in Kentucky. Dr. George P. Young early entered school, and when fourteen years of age was sent to Warren College, Bowling Green, Ky., but attended but one term. His literary education was finished at the University of Louisville (Ky.) about 1871, after which he immediately entered the medical department of the same university. He afterward attended Bellevue Hospital College, New York, graduating from that institution in 1873. Returning to Kentucky, he began practicing his profession at Allensville, remaining there and at Russellville until 1880, when he came to Eureka Springs, locating here permanently two years later. His property interests in Eureka Springs are extensive, and he enjoys a large and lucrative practice, making a specialty of operating surgery, diseases of women, genito-urinary organs and chronic cases. In 1888 he graduated from the New York Polyclinic Medical College. While in Kentucky he was a member of the Kentucky State Medical Society, and was on a district health board of that State. In October, 1877, the Doctor was united in marriage with Jennie T. Burress, of Clarksville, Tenn. Both are consistent Christians and members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.
