George P. Young, M. D., is a native of Russellville, Ky., and was born 
on March 18, 1850. His parents, George L. and Louisa F. Young, were of 
English and English-Scotch descent, respectively. The father was 
probably born in Richmond, Va., but he lived and died in Kentucky. He 
followed farming as a life vocation. His widow is still living in 
Kentucky. Dr. George P. Young early entered school, and when fourteen 
years of age was sent to Warren College, Bowling Green, Ky., but 
attended but one term. His literary education was finished at the 
University of Louisville (Ky.) about 1871, after which he immediately 
entered the medical department of the same university. He afterward 
attended Bellevue Hospital College, New York, graduating from that 
institution in 1873. Returning to Kentucky, he began practicing his 
profession at Allensville, remaining there and at Russellville until 
1880, when he came to Eureka Springs, locating here permanently two 
years later. His property interests in Eureka Springs are extensive, 
and he enjoys a large and lucrative practice, making a specialty of 
operating surgery, diseases of women, genitourinary organs and chronic 
cases. In 1888 he graduated from the New York Polyclinie Medical 
College. While in Kentucky he was a member of the Kentucky State 
Medical Society, and was on a district health board of that State. In 
October, 1877, the Doctor was united in marriage with Jennie T. 
Burress, of Clarksville, Tenn. Both are consistent Christians and 
members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.
