My Genealogy Hound

P. H. Treadway, M. D., is not only a successful and prominent physician of Little Rock, but he is also one of its leading druggists, and as a citizen is highly respected and esteemed by all who know him. Although he was born in Maryland, and received a portion of his medical education in his native State, he also attended lectures in the West, and later was a student in the Medical Department of the Arkansas Industrial University. After leaving college, he practiced successively in Pulaski and Perry Counties, Ark., coming to Little Rock in 1887, where he has since been an active practitioner. He followed his profession exclusively until January, 1889, at which time he established a drug store at the corner of Seventh and State Streets, where, being a man of shrewdness and excellent business qualifications, he has already built up a paying trade. Dr. Treadway traces his ancestry back to his great-great-grandfather, who was an English gentleman and came to the United States in 1700, settling on Bush River, Md., where he built a home and reared a family, the present generation of Treadways in this country being his descendants. Dr. Treadway’s parents, Amos and Margaret (Carroll) Treadway, were born in Maryland, the father being a contractor and builder by occupation, this being his chief calling until his death, at the age of seventy-eight years. Several of the Treadways served in the War of the Revolution. The Doctor’s grandfather was in the War of 1812, as well as in the Mexican War.
