   JAMES ALEXANDER BUSSELL, M. D., has been engaged in the practice of medicine
since 1893, and since 1896.he has been located at Rochelle, where he has become
well and favorably known to the medical fraternity and where he has built up a
practice in every way consistent with his splendid ability and his high character.

   Born in Dooly county, Georgia, in 1873, Dr. Bussell is the son of W. A. and
Edith Young (Raffield) Bussell, both of that county. The father was a veteran of
the Civil war. Dr. Bussell is one of eight children, all of whom are living.
They are: Lula, the wife of S. J. Barrett of Abba, Georgia; Mariette, married to
W. J. C. Brown, also a farmer of Abba; Minnie, married to Medelton Grayham, a
farmer of Isaac, Georgia; I. J., a farmer located in Abba; B. R., a doctor of
Rochelle; Charles, a farmer living at Abba; James Alexander of this review, and
William, a machinist of Abba.

   At the age of four weeks James A. Bussell accompanied his parents to Irwin
county, where his boyhood was spent, and it was there he received his
preliminary educational training, finishing in the Rochelle high school. His
medical training he received at the Atlanta Medical College, graduating
therefrom with the class of 1893, beginning the active practice of his
profession in the same year at Sibbie, Georgia, where he continued for three
years. After he had located at Rochelle, Dr. Bussell completed a course in
phamaceutics, and for three years or more conducted a drug store in this place,
but the remainder of the time has confined his entire attention to his general
medical practice.

   In October, 1893, Dr. Bussell was married to Miss Ids Coffee, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. H. Coffee. Four children were born to Dr. and Mrs. Bussell—Harry, Eva
Mae, Sallie and James. The wife and mother died in September, 1902, and on
January 20, 1904, Dr. Bussell married Mae Coffee, a sister of his first wife.
They became the parents of two children—Ethel, born in May, 1907, and Earnest,
born in 1905. Mrs. Bussell passed away on September 15, 1910, and Dr. Bussell
contracted a third marriage in September of the following year, when Elizabeth
Annie Coffee, a sister of his first and second wives, was united to him. Dr.
Bussell is a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the F. & A. M.,
and his wife is a member of the Methodist church, while he is a Baptist.
