GEORGE A. HENRY, M. D.
    Dr. George A. Henry, who has successfully devoted his attention to the
practice of medicine and surgery in Horatio during the past quarter of a
century, was born in Haynesville, Louisiana, on the 13th of March, 1866.
Practically his entire life, however, has been spent in Arkansas, for he was
brought to Magnolia, this state, when but two years of age. He attended the
public schools in the acquirement of an education and received his professional
training in the medical department of the University of Louisville at
Louisville, Kentucky, being graduated from that institution with the class of
1888. He first located for practice at Mars Hill and thence removed to
Lewisville, Lafayette county, Arkansas, where he followed his profession until
1896, which year witnessed his arrival in Horatio. Here he has remained
throughout the intervening period of twenty-five years and has been accorded a
constantly growing practice that is indicative of his marked skill and ability
in his chosen field. He owns two hundred acres of river bottom land and derives
therefrom a gratifying annual income.

    Dr. Henry has heen twice married. He first wedded Mary T. Rudd and they had
a daughter, Lessie, who is now the wife of B. L. Daniel. For his second wife the
Doctor chose Miss Annie M. Mathews, hy whom he has two children, Helen and
George A., Jr.

    Fraternally Dr. Henry is identified with the Masonic order, being a past
master of his lodge, while his religious faith is indicated by his membership in
the Baptist church. He has ever conformed his practice to the highest standards
and ethics and enjoys in unusual degree the confidence and respect of his
professional colleagues. Brought to Arkansas when but two years of age, he has
witnessed the growth and development of the commonwealth during the past half
century and has been an active factor in all movements which have contributed to
the welfare and upbuilding of his home community.
