    DR. GEORGE E. KUMPIE was born near Castle, Germany, September 7, 1819. He
received his education in his native country, and in early life was connected
with the Lutheran Church. When quite young, he and his brother, John, came to
the United States, locating at Tuscumbia, Ala.

    The Doctor took his first course in medicine at Louisville, in 1847, and
graduated from the University of Pennsylvania. After his graduation, he located
at La Grange, Ala., where he found a good field for his profession, and in which
he labored, with much success, until 1876. He then moved to Little Rock, Ark.,
where he lived a few years, coming thence to Leighton, where he lived until his
death, which occurred August 29, 1887.

    Being a man of much popularity, a skillful physician, an active worker in
the church, and a public-spirited citizen, his death was regretted by a large
circle of friends. He was a prominent Mason, and stood at the head of his
profession. He served as president and vice-president of the State Medical
Association, and was deeply interested in all matters pertaining to the
advancement and edification of the medical profession. He left an interesting
family, of six sons and one daughter, who comprise some of Northern Alabama's
best citizens.
