****************************************************************** 

the subject of this sketch is a prominent professional young man in the
capacity of a physician at Shannondale and was born in Chariton County
three miles south of Salisbury where he was reared and attended the public
schools of the district until be bad reached the age of eighteen years,
after which he attended Pritchett Institute at Glasgow for one term, at
the close of which he began teaching as a profession and taught three
consecutive sessions.  He then attended the State Normal at Kirksville one
year and then resumed teaching for a number of years before taking up a
course in the State University at Columbia and returned to Chariton
county, locating at Salisbury where he taught two years in the public
school of that city. He then removed to Roanoke and taught some years in
the public school at that place.  Prof.  Hurst, after his long term of
years in the school room, concluded to take up the study of medicine,
which he did in Salisbury for one year before attending Marion-Simms
College of medicine during the session of 1893-94, after which he attended
the Missouri Medical College at St. Louis where he graduated in March,
1896.  Shortly after his graduation Mr. Hurst located at Shannondale where
he is now enjoying, a good practice. During his entire term of school-room
affiliations he was successful, notwithstanding the many difficulties that
attend the duties of a teacher, and it is the profound wish of his many
friends that he may be as successful in the practice of medicine, in which
he is taking great interest.
