THOMAS CARTER HILL

     Thomas Carter Hill, of Anniston, Alabama, was born in Green County, 
     that State, on November 14, 1837.  His literary education is very complete, 
     having been placed under the direction of the best teachers in his native 
     State, and at Princeton, New Jersey.  He was graduated from the Medical College 
     of South Carolina in 1860, after a course of three years' study in Philadelphia, 
     New York, and Charleston, S.C.  This was supplemented by a two years' course in 
     Europe, in 1870 and 1871.  At the beginning of the late Civil War, he entered the 
     medical service of the Confederate States and passed through the vaious grades of 
     assistant surgeon, surgeon, brigade surgeon, and Medical Director of the Valley 
     District of Virginia.  At the close of the War he returned to Alabama, where he 
     practiced his profession, in connection with other pursuits, by which had been entirely 
     swept away by the War.  Various contributions have been made by him to the medical journals.  
     He had always been a busy man, and has done much good by his charities and liberalities to the 
     poor people of his city and county.  He is still hard at work, and when he is called to, 
     surrender his field to the younger men of the profession, they will always have a worthy 
     example to emulate.  For many years he has held various offices of trust among his business 
     and professional associates, and is still carrying those trusts with his usual energy and 
     business sagacity.
