He came to McCracken County, in 1853, locating where he at present resides, four miles south east of Woodville. His wife, Eliza (Isbell) Marshall, died November 11, 1870, leaving two children: Sarah A. (now the wife of Aaron Fuqua, a prominent farmer of this county), and Benjamin T., the subject of these lines. The latter was reared to farm work and acquired a good literary education at the Louisville Academy. At nineteen years of age he came to Woodville, and began the study of medicine under Dr. C. E. Haddox, now deceased, and after remaining with him two years, placed himself under the tuition of Dr. C. G. Rayster. He then attended the St. Louis Medical College, from which he was graduated March 4, 1865; a few years later he took an additional course of lectures at Nashville, Tenn. He occupies a high standing among the members of his profession, and has always enjoyed a large and constantly increasing practice among the people. He is a member of the K. of H. and the Masonic fraternity, and is devoted to the cause of temperance. He was united in marriage, January 28, 1879, to Miss Anna W. Dawson, of Logan County, Ky. This union has been blessed with four children: Thomas H., Mary E., Elizabeth and Lillie.
