    DR. T. W. AYERS, one of the leading physicians of Jacksonvillle, Ala., was
born in Georgia in 1858. He is a son of J. W. and Lucy (Guest) Ayers, the former
of whom was a merchant in Carnesville, Ga. He was also judge of Franklin county
court about eight years. Dr. T. W. Ayers was reared and educated in Georgia and
in 1880 he began the study of medicine, the next year taking a course of
lectures in the medical department of the university of Georgia. For two years
afterward he was engaged in the drug business in Georgia, and in 1883 he came to
Alabama locating in Anniston, conducting the drug business there until 1885. In
August, 1885, he entered the city hospital at Baltimore, remaining there one
year, and graduated from the college of Physicians and Surgeons in the spring of
1886. He began the practice of medicine at Anniston and in 1888 removed to
Jacksonville where he has since remained and where he has built up a fine
practice. In 1878 he married Minnie Skelton, daughter of Dr. W. A. and L. J.
(Skelton) Skelton, and to this marriage have been born five children, viz.:
Goldie, Stakely, Lucy, Harry and Carey. Mrs. Ayers was born in Alabama and both
she and her husband are members of the Baptist church. He is a member of the
Knights of Honor, of the order of Odd Fellows and of the Knights of Pythias. He
is president of the Calhoun County Medical society, and is a member of the
Alabama State Medical association, and he is county health officer at the
present time. He attends the meetings of the State Medical association, and at
its next meeting to be held at Selma will contribute a paper on the Progress of
Medicine. Dr. Ayers takes an active interest in politics, and in September,
1892, was made chairman of the democratic district committee. While he is modest
and unassuming, yet he is one of the most highly respected and most useful
citizens of Calhoun county.
