   F. C. OUTLAW, M. D. An able and skilful physician of Palmyra, F. C. Outlaw,

M. D., is also well known in this section of the county as an extensile and

successful agriculturist. The son of a physician, the late John F. Outlaw. M.

D., he was born September 27, 1862, in Montgomery county, Tennessee, and has

here spent the greater part of his life.



   John F. Outlaw, M. D., a native of Tennessee, born in 1821, was educated in

Montgomery county. Scholarly in his tastes, and ambitious, he studied both law

and medicine, becoming proficient in both professions. As a young man he taught

school for awhile in Montgomery county, and when ready to begin the practice of

medicine established himself in that county, and was there a resident until his

death, April 10, 1911. He was very successful as a physician and surgeon during

the three score years in which he ministered to the sick, and built up an

extensive and lucrative patronage. Dr. John F. Outlaw was a strong Democrat in

politics. He was prominent in Masonic circles, having organized McCulloch Lodge,

Ancient Free and Accepted Order of Masons, at Palmyra, and having been a member

of the chapter of the same place, of the Royal Arch Masons, commandery and the

Knights Templar.



   Dr. J. F. Outlaw married Agnes H. Smith, who was born in 1826, in Tennessee,

and is now living with her son, Dr. F. C. Outlaw, in the old home. Five of the

children born of their union are now living, as follows: Eunice A., living with

her brother, F. C. Outlaw; James E., of Sumner county, Tennessee; Gordon E.,

traveling in the interests of the American Supply Company; F. C., the special

subject of this brief personal sketch; and Sallie A., wife of L. C. Haynes. of

Montgomery county. The widowed mother is one of the oldest members of the

Methodist Episcopal church, with which both she and her husband united many

years ago.



   Having completed the course of study in the public schools of his native

county, F. C. Outlaw entered the medical department of Vanderbilt University, in

Nashville, Tennessee, from which he was graduated with the degree of M. D. in

1891. Becoming at once associated with his father, he gave close attention to

his professional duties, and by means of his skill and ability built up a large

and highly remunerative practice in the vicinity, being now one of the best

known and most popular physicians of that part of the county. At the present

time the doctor is withdrawing from active practice, and devoting his attention

to the care of his large farm of four hundred and thirty-four acres. He is a

practical agriculturist, and is making a success in the raising of tobacco, corn

and hay, and in the breeding and raising of mules, which he finds a profitable

industry.



   Politically Dr. Outlaw is affiliated with the Democratic party. Fraternally

he is a member of the. Ancient Free and Accepted Order of Masons, at Oakwood,

and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, of which he was master two years.

Religiously he is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church.
