Dr. Virgil Clay Gillispie, one of the prominent physicians of Jessamine county, is practicing in Wilmore, and studiousness, combined with the habit of thoroughness, has brough him to the fore in his profession. He was born November 7, 1885, in North Middletown, Bourbon county, Kentucky, and is a son of Henry Clay and Letitia (Reid) Gillispie. His public school education was received in his native town and for two years he attended the old Kentucky University, now known as Transylvania College, at Lexington. He next matriculated in the University of Louisville and was graduated with the class of 1910, receiving the M. D. degree. For a short time he acted as assistant to Drs. Thomas Stone Lewis and R. C. Faulconer, well known physicians at Lexington, and in 1912 began his independent professional career. He has since resided in Wilmore and his practice is the largest enjoyed by any physician in the town. He has been a close student of human nature as well as the technicalities of his profession and correctly applies his knowledge to the needs of the patients. Dr. Gillispie entered the service of his country and in September, 1918, was commissioned a first lieutenant in the medical corps of the United States army. He was stationed at Camp Greenleaf, Georgia, and in December, 1918, was honorably discharged. His political views accord with the tenets of the democratic party and he manifests a deep interest in matters teaching the welfare and advancement of his community but has never aspired to public office. He belongs to the Wilmore Exchange Club and is a director of the Wilmore Building & Loan Association. Along fraternal lines he is connected with the Masons and the Knights of Pythias.. He is a member of the Jessamine County, Kentucky State and Mississippi Valley Medical Societies and the American Medical Association. Dr. Gillispie is an earnest student and keeps in close touch with the progress that is constantly being made in the fields of medical and surgical science. He fills an important place in the life of his community and the respect accorded him is well deserved.
