Surnames: EVERETT, MORRIS, BARLOW, HOWARD Classification: Biography Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Cl.2ADI/873 Message Board Post: Francis M. Everett, M.D., is the oldest practicing physician in Corydon. He was born in Mason County, Virginia, in 1840, and when but a year old his father, Rev. Warren D. Everett, a Baptist clergyman, removed with his family to Monroe County, Missouri, where he lived seven years, and in 1848 located in Marion County, Iowa. Warren D. Everett was a native of the State of New York, and when a young man removed to Virginia, where he married Pantha J. Morris. He entered the ministry of the Baptist church when twenty-one years of age. His wife died in 1851 and her sickness and death directed his attention to the study of the nature, cause and cure of disease, which resulted in his adoption of the medical art as a profession, although he never gave up his ministerial duties. His medical practice began in 1854, and in 1856 he removed to Wayne County and located in Corydon in the spring of 1864, where he died the following year. He was a man of excellent literary attainments, ! having been through life a hard student. He was possessed of good judgement and great perceptive powers which enabled him to readily discriminate between the true and the false, and was withal a worthy and valuable citizen. Francis M. Everett began the study of medicine with his father in the spring of 1861, and graduated from the Keokuk Medical College in February, 1864. He soon after formed a partnership with his father which continued until severed by the latter's death. Dr. Everett has for many years had an extensive practice and has attained a high rank in his profession. In the earlier days, when physicians were less numerous than now, his practice extended over a large area of country, and many horseback rides has he taken, miles from home, on dark and stormy nights and in the cold and gloom of winter, to minister to the suffering of the sick. The Doctor is a member of the Iowa State Medical Society, the Des Moines Valley Medical Society and is President of the ! Wayne County Medical Society. Dr. Everett was married in November 1861, to Fidelia C. Barlow, a native of Ohio, born in 1845. They have had five children, four of whom are living-Burrus E.; Blanche, wife of E. J. Howard, of Centerville, Iowa; Claud and Maud. Their eldest child died at the age of nine months.

Surnames: EVERETT, FLETCHER Classification: Biography Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Cl.2ADI/871 Message Board Post: B. S. Everett, M.D., of Allerton, is the second son of Dr. Warren D. Everett, and was born in Moniteau County, Missouri, March 25, 1843. He began the study of medicine with his father in 1860, but relinquished it in 1861 to enter the Union army, enlisting in August of that year in Company I, Fourth Iowa Infantry. The Doctor was seriously wounded at the battle of Pea Ridge, by being shot through the left hip. He lay upon the battle field till the next day, and there is no doubt that his knowledge of the science of anatomy which enabled him to staunch the bleeding of his wound saved his life. Dr. F. M. Everett, of Corydon, on learning of the misfortune of his brother, repaired at once to the hospital where his brother lay, and through his skillful nursing he recovered sufficiently to return home, although the Doctor has never fully recovered from the effects of his wound. In August 1863, the Doctor again entered the army, enlisting as First Sergeant of Company D, Eight Io! wa Cavalry, he having assisted in recruiting this company. This regiment was organized at Davenport, and took part in Sherman's Atlanta campaign, and in the celebrated raid of Stoneman and McCook. While on the latter expedition the Doctor was taken prisoner, and after being incarcerated in Andersonville Prison about four months he was removed to Florence, where he was held a prisoner six months longer. He was then parolled, after having suffered all the horrors of the worst rebel prisons for ten months, and as soon as he was able to travel he returned home. But even a greater affliction than any he had yet endured awaited him at home, the knowledge of which had not reached him while being confined in a rebel prison. We refer to the death of his father, whom he loved, and who had died several months before his arrival home. The Doctor regards this as the greatest affliction of his life, he having looked forward to the reunion with his father with great joy and gladness, ! and it was on him he always depended for advice and counsel. Soon after his return from the army he resumed the study of medicine with his brother at Corydon, and in 1869 graduated at the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Keokuk. He began the practice of his profession at Peoria, where he has succeeded in building up a good practice. Dr. Everett has been devoting his entire attention to surgery for the past few years, and has a great love for the science of surgery. He has been a member of the Board of Examining Surgeons for pensions at Allerton for the past year. In 1884 he sold his residence in Allerton, intending to remove to Kansas City, where his desires for surgery could be better satisfied, but, owing to sickness in his own family, he abandoned that idea, and recently purchased a neat, comfortable home in Allerton, where he expects to follow his profession. In 1867 the Doctor married Mary E. Fletcher, a daughter of Eli Fletcher, one of the pioneers of Wayne C! ounty, Iowa. They have an adopted daughter, named Cora, who is a student at the Baptist Institution at Pella, Iowa. The family are members of the Baptist church at Allerton. Dr. Everett is a member of the Masonic fraternity, and was master of the lodge at Corydon for four years. He was the first master of the Masonic logdge at Allerton, being one of its charter members.
