   SAMUEL G. GAY, M. D., was born in Dallas county, December 11, 1864. He is a
son of John A. and Alvira (Colley) Gay, the former of whom came from Georgia
when a small boy with his parents. His mother died in the state of Alabama, and
his father subsequently went to Texas, and on his return was lost at sea. John
A. Gay grew to manhood in Alabama, and chose farming as his occupation,
continuing thus engaged until his death, which occurred when he was forty-five
years old. His wife still lives at the age of seventy, in Dallas county. She was
born in the county. Her father was John A. Colley, and he came to Alabama from
Kentucky at an early date. He was among the first settlers of the county, and
was a large planter and slave holder. The mother of Dr. Gay had twelve children,
he being the youngest. There are but three now living. Dr. Gay was raised on the
farm, and received a good common school education, supplemented by persistent
self-application. At the age of nineteen he began the study of medicine at the
Alabama Medical college at Mobile. He entered this college in 1884, and
graduated in April, 1887. He then located at Selma in May, 1887, established
himself in the practice of his profession, and has continued here ever since. He
is president of the Dallas county Medical society, and is a member of the State
Medical association. He is inclined to obstetrics and gynecology. He is a member
of the Knights of Pythias and also of the Baptist church. He was married in 1890
to Miss Corinne M. Turner, of Mobile. He is one of the promising young
physicians of Dallas county, and stands deservedly high in the community.
