MADISON E. ALDERSON, M.D., is a son of Benjamin Alderson of Russellville, Ky.,
and was born in that town in the year 1852. His father, Benjamin Alderson, was
born in Warren County, Ky., in 1822, and in early life he learned the trade of
hatter, and removed to Russellville, Ky., where he pursued his trade for several
years. He married in Logan County, Ky., Mary A. McCarty. The father of this lady
was George McCarty, a native of Virginia, but of Irish ancestors. He first
settled in Clark County, Ky., where Mary A. was born. Soon after her birth the
family removed to Logan County, where George McCarty became well and favorably
known, and where he died in 1872, at the age of eighty-four years. Dr. M.
Alderson is the second of five children born to Benjamin and Mary A.
Alderson, both of whom are among the honored citizens of Russellville, KY.
He was educated in the Bethel College of Russellville, where, in 1874, he
received the degree of A. M. Having decided on the profession of medicine,
he performed the usual preparatory reading under Dr. Byrne, of
Russellville. In the fall of 1875 he entered the Starling Medical College
of Columbus, Ohio, receiving the degree conferred by that institution in
March, 1878. He then located in the town of his nativity and soon sprang
into notice for proficiency in his chosen profession. Though young in
years, he enjoys a lucrative practice, and the confidence of a large circle
of friends. Dr. Alderson is a member of the Kentucky State Medical
Association, a contributor to some of the leading medical journals, and a
member of the Board of Censors of his medical alma mater.
