MILTON C. BALDRIDGE.  M. D., son of William F., and Elizabeth Caroline
(Mitchell) Baldridge, was born in Cornersville, Marshall County, Tenn., May 12,

  William F. Baldridge was born in North Carolina in 1809, and brought in his
infancy to Giles County, Tenn., wherein due time, he learned the tanner's trade,
in which business he afterward engaged quite extensively. In 1836, he removed to
Perry County and embarked in merchandising and in 1844 he became a resident of
Lauderdale County. In 1855, he established a nursery not far from Huntsville,
which is said to have been the first enterprise of the kind in that section; and
in 1867, he removed to Plano, Tex., where he still resides. He had eleven
children: Milton C., James A., Jane C., Virginia C., Mary A., Parmelia R.,
Elizabeth. William F., John C., Henry B. and Oscar.

  Mrs. Caroline Baldridge died in March, 1866, and William F. was again married
to a Miss McDonald, of Huntsville.

  Milton C. Baldridge was reared upon a farm. He received a good education, and
in 1850 began the study of medicine at Florence with Dr. J. P. Mitchell. In
1853, he attended lectures at the Medical College of Ohio, in Cincinnati, and
practiced on a license until 1874, when he was graduated from the Medical
College, of New York.

  In the spring of 1862, he entered the army as assistant surgeon of the
Twenty-sixth Alabama and Forty-eighth Tennessee Regiments, and continued there
until ill-health forced him to abandon the field. After returning home, he
practiced near Huntsville until 1871, when he located in that city, where he has
since remained and established a most successful practice. He is a member of the
State Medical Association, of which he has been Vice-president, Orator, and is
now Grand Senior Counsellor and President. He has been Health-Officer of Madison
County since 1882; is a member of the County Medical Society; Chairman of the
Medical Board of Examiners, and is a frequent contributor to medical journals.

  The Doctor is a Knight Templar, Scottish Rite, Mason, an Odd Fellow, Knight of
Honor and a Knight of Pythias.

  He was married January 16, 1855, to Miss N. C. Neely, a daughter of Anderson
P. and Eliza M. (Cannon) Neely. Unto them were born seven children: James
Alexander, Viola Beatrice, Mollie Bertie, Felix Edgar, Stella Corvin, Percy and
Katie. James Alexander died October 6, 1856, Mollie Bertie died March, 1866,
Percy died 1872. Viola Beatrice is the wife of Bently H. Brooks, now of Paris,
Texas. Felix Edgar, Stella Corvin, and Katie reside with their father in
Huntsville, Ala. The Doctor's first wife died in April, 1878, and in September,
1880, he married Miss Ella M. Johnson, who has one child, Milton C., Jr. The
