"Dr. Gideon PASCHALL, deceased, was born August 2, 1820, in Caswell County,
N.C., and was taken by his parents in an early day to Huntsville, Ala.;
thence in 1826, to Weakley Co., Tenn., six miles west of Fulton, Ky. He was
the eldest of thirteen children born to Jesse M. and Mary (FREEMAN)
PASCHALL, natives of North Carolina. He was reared on a farm, and was on
the ground where Paducah now stands when there was not a building erected
thereon. He engaged in flatboating down the Mississippi in an early day,
and lived with his parents until he was twenty-two years old, when he
commenced the study of medicine with Dr.Hawkings; he studied for three
years and commenced his practice in Henry Co., Tenn.; he finally located
where Fulton now stands and put up a log office, which he later moved from
a mile east of town to where it now stands - a relic of the past - in the
door yard of the family residence in Fulton. He took a course of lectures
at Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, Penn., in the winter of
1853-54, received a diploma, and was one of the few who was able to
graduate with one course of lectures. He was an excellent physician. He was
married August 10, 1854, to Adaline BULLOCK, of Fulton County, a native of
Granville Co., N.C. and a daughter of Richard and Martha (FREEMAN) BULLOCK
of Granville Co., N.C. Mr. BULLOCK is of Welsh origin. To Mr. and Mrs,
PASCHALL were born five children, viz: Pollie, Mattie, Addie D.,Annette,
Effie R., now deceased. Mrs. PASCHALL is a member of the Methodist
Episcopal Church; she is owner of one of the finest brick blocks in Fulton,
a fine residence, and a number of other residences. Dr.PASCHALL and a Mr.
