    RIVERS A. RUSH, D. D. S., a young and skillful practitioner of dental
surgery of Selma, Ala., was born at Tuskegee, Macon county, Ala., in 1868. His
parents are Benjamin Andrew and Lucy Ellen (Rivers) Rush. Benjamin A. Rush has
followed farming as a vocation all his life. He resided at Marion, Ala., for
many years, but a few years ago he moved to northwest Texas, where he is now
engaged in wheat culture. Dr. Rush was reared at Marion, and received while
there an academical education in Howard college. In 1885 he began the study of
dental surgery under his uncle, T. J. Krouse, D. D. S., of Baltimore, Md., who
was then in the practice of his profession at Barnett, Miss. Dr. Rush remained
at Barnett thus engaged in study for eighteen months, and then began the
practice of his profession at Evergreen, Ala. He remained at Evergreen about one
year. Then taking a course in dental surgery at the Vanderbilt university at
Nashville, Tenn., he afterward formed a co-partnership with his uncle at
Barnett, and practiced with him about one year. He then again entered the dental
department of the Vanderbilt university and graduated therefrom in February,
1891. He immediately located in Selma, Ala., soon secured a good practice, and
remains at- that city to the present time. He took rank among the leading
dentists of the state. Was elected junior vice-president of the Alabama Dental
association, at its last meeting in Montgomery, and is now an influential member
of that body. Although his practice is general, he is especially skillful in
gold crown and bridge work, in which he has a large practice. He is pleasant,
affable, modest and unassuming in manner, and these qualities, taken in
connection with his professional ability and skill, render him a popular and
highly respected member of society.
