Middle Ga. Argus – December 1894
Dr. Byron is a native Georgian. He was born in Coweta county just before the 
war between the states.  His parents moved to Carroll county and settled on a 
farm near Carrolton, where his mother still lives.  After acquiring a liberal 
education he commenced teaching within two hundred yards of the old school 
house where he first entered school, teaching many children of parents with 
whom he had been a student in his early boyhood.  After teaching there three 
years he went to visit his sister who lived in Arkansas, and taught there for 
two years.  When he returned to Georgia he went into the drug store of his 
brother-in-law, Dr. J. C. Brown, at Whitesburg, now of Carrolton, and studied 
pharmacy and medicine four years.  He then entered the Atlanta Medical College 
in 1885, from which he graduated March 4th,1887, and came to Jackson in April 
following.  By his unwavering and close application to business he has made an 
enviable reputation.  He is industrious, painstaking, ambitious and admirable 
equipped in professional learning.  Though modest and unassuming, he is active 
and untiring, ever anxious to learn whatever will be conductive to the  
furtherance of his profession, do credit to his calling and benefit suffering 
humanity.  The doctor is so congenial and pleasant that the sick feel better in 
his presence, and his very successful practice has so inspired confidence in 
his ability, until people would really be surprised to ear of one of his 
patients dying, which they never do when their sickness is caused from anything 
a full knowledge of medicine well applied to the case can remove.

The following life insurance companies for all of which he is medical examiner, 
hold him in high esteem: Washington Life, New York; Manhattan, New York; Mutual 
Benefit, Newark, N. J.; Massachusetts Benefit, Boston; Fidelity Mutual, 
Philadelphia; Neverland(?) Life, Amsterdam, Holland.

Elsewhere we give a fair representation of his residence on Main street, but 
the picture of himself does not do him full justice.  Jackson and Butts county 
are proud of all such men as Dr. J. Lee Byron.
