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

Dr. Jacob Welborn, physician and surgeon, P. O. Aullville.  The subject
of this sketch is a native of North Carolina; born December 19, 1816.  He
obtained a common school education in that state, at Abbott's Creek 
School, Davidson county.  In 1838, he came to this state and county, and
located south of Aullville, and engaged in farming.  He read medicine 
with Dr. Dobson, and in the year 1853, he graduated at the St. Louis
Medical University.  After receiving his diploma, he returned to this
county, and entered upon the practice of his profession.  In 1850, he was
united in marriage to Miss P. J. Spurgeon, a native of North Carolina. 
They have had seven children, five of whom are now living: Edward L.,
Arthur B., Laura J., Walter S., and Charles C.  His wife died in 1865.
He remained quietly at home during the war, attending to his practice.
In 1877, he moved to Aullville, where he still resides, his time and 
attention fully occupied with a large practice.  As a physician, he 
stands among the leaders in the profession; is progressive in his views,
and always ready to seize, with avidity, upon anything which tends to
throw light upon the mysteries of one of the most important of sciences,
that which deals with human life.
