DR STEPHEN CARLETON, brother of Oliver settled in Acworth in 1803.  He was the earliest comer of
the trio of doctors who have spent their lives in Acworth, whose names will never be forgotten 
in town.  " He was a man of few words, a gentleman o the old school, kind and generous in his 
feelings, and always trying to do his best when his services were required."  There was no 
disposition in him to humbug people to promote his business interests.  It was a favorite saying
of his, "If people were aware how little doctors knew, they would not trust them as they did."
He was quite successful in his practice, especially in fevers.  He never married. He died in 
1857, aged 86.
