    JOHN BRADFIELD, M. D., was born May 12, 1815, in Rockingham County, N. C.,
and is a son of Louis and Mary (Farrar) Bradfield, natives, respectively, of
Virginia and North Carolina.

    The father of our subject was a farmer and carpenter, and, after a long and
useful career, died at Uniontown in 1870.

    John Bradfield attended Smith's high school in Rockingham County, where he 
  prepared himself to enter the medical college in Charleston, of which
institution he was a graduate in 1845. In that year he began the practice of his
profession at Uniontown, where he has had an unbroken professional career of
forty-three years, and is beyond doubt the oldest practicing physician in the
county, where he has resided so long, and has, perhaps, few equals in the State
who can claim as long an experience in any locality as he. It needs no assurance
on the writer's part to convince any one that Dr. Bradfield has been uniformly
successful as a physician. If such were wanting it could be established from the
testimony of hundreds to whom he has skillfully applied the great healing art,
and by reason of which he is constantly the recipient of the benedictions of
those thus placed under a pleasant obligation.

    Dr. Bradfield is a member of the Perry County and Alabama Medical Societies,
and has held the office of president of the former and censor of both. He is
likewise a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and belongs to the
Masonic fraternity.

    Dr. Bradfield was married in November, 1845, to Miss Emily F., daughter of
Dr. Archibald and Frances (Ware) Perkins, of Madison, Ga., and has a family of
three sons, all of whom are now successful men of the world and ornaments of the
social spheres to which they belong. George H. is a practicing lawyer, John W. a
doctor, both residents of Uniontown; and Louis T. a successful business man of
Birmingham, Ala.
