Charles O Cargile, M. D., is a physician of more than ordinary ability, and at
an early age displayed an eagerness for study and a desire for a professional
life.  He was born in Chambers County, Ala., in October, 1861, being the
eldest of seven children born to Charles J. and Ellen A. (Barrow) Cargile,
both of whom were Georgians.  Their children are: Charles O., Jimmie W. (wife
of Sim. Smith of Shiloh, La.), Ida A., John A. (deceased), Era R., Joel J. and
William T.  The father was born in Georgia, in 1838, and was the eldest in a
family of six children.  His parents were natives of North Carolina.  The
immediate subject of this sketch was brought to Claiborne Parish by his
parents in 1867, and here he has since resided, his early literary education
being received in Summerfield and Shiloh.  In 1883 he entered the old Atlanta
(Ga.) Medical College, from which place he graduated in 1886, his attention
since that time being devoted exclusively and successfully to the practice of
his profession.  He also managed a plantation of about 200 acres, and although
he is still a young practitioner, he has shown much skill in the treatment of
his cases, and fully deserves the large practice which he commands.  He was
married to Miss Artie M. Mason, in May, 1886, and both are members of the
Missionary Baptist Church.  He has always been a Democrat.
