At the meeting of the American Medical Association held in Louisville in May, 1859, Dr. Miller was elected president of that body, it being the custom of the association to elect to its highest office a physician, of the place where it was in session. Dr. Miller was a clear, ready, forcible writer. As a practitioneer he was discriminating and reliable, commanding the confidence of his professional brethren in quite as eminent a degree as he had that of the public. His opinions were formed slowly, but once made up they were felt by all to be trustworthy. Withal, he was a progressive man, and prompt to seize upon all the improvements made in the healing art.... As a lecturer Dr. Miller rose to distinction in spite of the greatest natural disadvantages. His voice was not good, and his delivery was nearly as bad as it could be. It was painful to listen to him, until one had grown accustomed to his manner, so great was his difficulty of utterance; and yet he was a successful teacher. The slowness with which he was obliged to proceed enabled his pupils to take in all his mater, and his thorough mastery of his subject gave weight to his instructions. It was his happy constitution of mind to become so engrossed by the matter of his discourse that the drowsiness of his audience or even disorders in his lecture-room were unnoticed, and his good-nature contributed to the popularity which he gained by the sound and practical character of his lectures. He had both humor and imagination, and could enliven his dry prelections by sallies of wit when his subject invited; but the quality of mind to which he owed his influence among men, and his reputation as a teacher and practitioner, was his sound, vigorous understanding. About a year before he died Dr. Miller professed religion and united himself to the First Presbyterian Church in Louisville. When he stood up before the congregation to make a public profession of his faith in Christ one of his granddaughters, the child of his oldest son, Dr. William Miller, who was lost to him during the War of the States, stood up by his side and entered the church with him. His death occurred at his residence in Louisville on Sunday, the 8th of February, 1874, in the seventy-fourth year of his age. The physicians of the city, his colleagues in the Louisville, and the medical faculty of the University of Louisville adopted resolutions respectful to the memory of the deceased. Until within a few weeks of his death he was still devoting himself as far as he had strength to his professional work, and only ceased it when increasing infirmities confined him to his house. The disease which terminated his valuable life was Bright's disease of the kidney, which had been for more than a year insidiously undermining his fine constitution.

Two notes first. I'm having some computer problems so bear with me - I think I'm wearing my system out! So, if I'm delayed in making a post the next few days; working on it! Secondly - there are times when I will be repeating posts made in previous years. After posting to this list since about 1996, there is just so much material available. New people come on the list all the time and some of you have been with me from the beginning (thank you!!!) So, if I repeat a series and you've seen it before, go get a cup of coffee!! The following deaths are taken and transcribed by me from the Cumberland Co vital statistic's microfilm. As you know, there is room for error! Handwriting, spelling, scratches on the microfilm ... so if you find something of interest, I would suggest you check other sources to verify or ignore. These are in alphabetical order so I'll be skipping through the dates and only certain dates were recorded. If you don't see you relative on a certain year, it doesn't mean they die there, but could mean that either the physician forgot to write it down or on that year no records were kept. Check variant spellings always! And also remember that not all the information is shown in the original records; it varied from year to year. 29 Aug 1909 ALLEN, William V, a male child one year old, born in Clinton Co, died of diptheria, s/o D B & Julia AARON Allen, parents both born KY. 5 Sept 1853 ADAMS, Mary Jane. female child, 1 yr old, d/o William & Susan, bowels.

Continuing from "Transaction of the Kentucky State Medical Society, 1875" on the life of Dr. Henry Miller. Here follows a description of the Louisville Medical Institute. Paragraph ends: Dr. Caldwell, who bore an active and effective part in securing this appropriation, recognized the claims of Dr. Miller to be the chair which he had resigned in view of a reorganization of the faculty, and advised his re-election. He was accordingly restored to the chair of Obstetric Medicine in the spring of 1837. In this position he found all the circumstances necessary to the development of his fine powers, and he continued to enjoy the place for many years. It gave him pre-eminence in the line of his profession to which he devoted himself by choice. During those prosperous years he wrote a work on Obstetrics, the publication of which greatly extended his reputation; and his business from abroad, as well as at home, steadily increased. His book, which was published in 1849, met with much professional favor. By the medical journals of our country, and some in England, it was highly praised as a sound, judicious system of midwifery; and a second edition, which he lived to issue, has taken its place among the standard treatises on Obstetrics. It is characterized by independence of thought, and a clearness and soundness of judgment for which Dr. Miller was eminently distinguished. Besides this systematic work, Dr. Miller is the author of many valuable papers published in the Transylvania Journal of Medicine, the American Journal of the Medical Science, the Western Journal of Medicine and Surgery, the Western Journal of the Medical and Physical Sciences, the Richmond and Louisville Medical Journal, the American Journal of Obstetrics, and the Louisville Journal of Medicine and Surgery. Of the last-named periodical, only two numbers of which wee issued, Dr. Miller was the senior editor. His papers in this journal were entitled, "Vulgar Errors in Medicine" and "Cases of Puerperal Convulsions occurring immediately after the birth of the child." Notable among his papers is the report of a case of ovariotomy successfully performed by him in 1847 (Western Journal of Medicine and Surgery, Vol. II, New Series). In 1858 the state of the medical department of the University of Louisville, in which the Medical Institute had been merged twelve years before, had become one of great depression. Owing to various adverse causes, the chief of which were the frequent changes in its faculty and the establishment of a medical school at Nashville - the terminus for several years of its railroad to Louisville - its classes had declined in number until they fell below a hundred. Dr. Miller, at the close of the session of that year, sent in his resignation. In 1867 he was again elected to the chair of Medical and Surgical Diseases of Women in the University, but resigned it in the succeeding spring. In 1869 he accepted the corresponding chair in the Louisville Medical College, which he held up to the time of his death.: To be concluded next week.

Continuation of the "Transactions of the KY State Medical Society, 1875." The winter following no lectures were delivered in the institution. The faculty had become disorganized at the close of the first session, and no attempt to form a new faculty was made until 1819. In the fall of that year he became a student of Tranylvania University, having in the mean time pursued his studies two years at home, by which he gained a valuable amount of practical knowledge in his profession. (Here follows the names of some doctors and what courses they taught). Continuing: After following these several courses to their conclusion, and profiting by them beyond most of his fellow students, young MILLER returned to Glasgow, where Dr. BAINBRIDGE offered him a partnership in the practice of physic, his other preceptor, Dr. GIST, having removed to New Castle. He engaged at once in the responsible duties of his profession; but, after eighteen months spent in laborious practice, returned to Lexington, and was graduated M. D. at the conclusion of his second course in the spring of 1822. His thesis was of so scholarly a character, and evinced moreover so much reading and research, that it was deemed by the faculty worthy of publication. The subject was the "Relation between the Sanguiferous and the Nervous Systems." The great merit of his thesis, his superior mind, and his devotion to his studies gave assurance of eminence in his profession, which led the professors, a year later, to elect him demonstrator of anatomy; an in consequence of his appointment he left his practice in Glasgow and repaired to Philadelphia in 1823, spending some months there in the dissecting-room, preparing himself for the duties of his office. The appointment, however, it appeared subsequently, was not agreeable to Prof. Dudley, who, knowing the great difficulty of procuring subjects for dissection, was not disposed to encourage the practical study of anatomy; and in view of these difficulties Dr. Miller resigned his place, and returned to his business in Glasgow. After practicing physic here a few years he removed to Harrodsburg, where, in addition to the population of the town, the springs drew great numbers of people from the South, rendering the practice highly remunerative. He remained nine years in Harrodsburg; but the theater was not equal to his ambition, and in 1835 he removed to the city of Louisville, with a view to becoming a teacher of medicine. A charter for a medical school, under the name of Louisville Medical Institute, had been obtained from the legislature, and Dr. Miller was elected Professor of Obstetrics and the Diseases of Women and Children before removing to the city. The Medical Institute, however, did not at once afford him any employment. Most of its chairs were vacant, and he found the profession and citizens of Louisville indifferent to the establishment of a school of medicine. But he resolved not to give over the enterprise without a struggle, and with a view to exciting public interest in the matter wrote a series of articles setting forth the advantages of such a school to the city. These papers, published in the Louisville Journal, seconded by the efforts of its gifted editor, the late George D. PRENTICE, Esq., had their effect at home, at the same time that they aroused the attention of professors at Lexington to the danger of a rival school in Louisville. To be continued next week.

Here are some more news items from the Times involving the counties on this list outside of Barren Co. Allen Co: Jim EATON, a worthy young man who was known to the citizens of Scottsville, was killed by a damp in a well near Jimtown, Monday. He was at work cleaning out his well and all at once he told the men at the top to draw him up. They responded promptly, but just before they could pull him, let go and fell, and when taken out was dead. He was overcome by a damp. Eaton was about thirty years old. (26 Aug 1896 issue). Cumberland Co: Mrs. OWEN died at the home of her son, Dr. J. H. Owen, at Randolph, on the 2nd inst. She was eighty-six years old at the time of her death and had been in feeble health for a number of months. She was a lady of fine intelligence, and was loved and esteemed by all who knew her. She was a member of the Christian church and was ready to obey the summons. She had requested that her funeral be preached from this text: "These are they which came out of the great tribulation an have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb." After appropriate funeral services by Rev. RENEAU, the remains were interred in the Pleasant Hill burying ground. (7 Oct 1896 issue) Mr. George DAVIS, a prominent man and highly esteemed citizen of Cumberland county died at his home in the Marrowbone country a few days ago. Mr. Davis' death is directlyly traceable to the intense heat of the past few weeks, as he became overheated in working on his farm. Sickness resulted, and he steadily sank till death came. Mr. Davis owned one of the best farms in Cumberland county - the PACE old homestead - an was regarded as one among the most solid and substantial citizens of that section. He will be greatly missed and mourned by the people among whom he was born, lived and died. (26 Aug 1896 issue) Hart Co: Dr. Wm. ADAIR, one of the oldest and best known physicians in Hart county, died at his home near Canmer last week.

Happy New Year, Friends! The following is a genealogy record found in a Bible that was the personal property of Mary Trabue "Mollie" Sublett (26 Sep 1855 - 29 Mar 1953).

Since RootsWeb does not support attachments I cannot include a jpg. Therefore, I will have to transcribe and change the format some to make it more understandable for any one reading. I have no idea of her sources, probably "hand-me-down" information, but most of it agrees with my own research, done before this item emerged from hiding.

Dean, I remember this storm well, too! I was pregnant with our second baby, and I fell on the ice, scaring everyone to death, but no harm done to either of us. I was well padded with warm clothes. It was in the back yard at the Lees' home on Grinstead Mill Road. Iola and Carl were out in the country with no oil for heat, so Dan and I chipped the ice off the doors of our 1937 Willys coupe and made it out there to bring them in to Cave City. We have photos of all this. Oh for the "good old days." <grin> Alice Lee On 1/2/2012 11:19 AM, dean hunt wrote: > My wife was going through some old boxes of photos and things, trying to > clean up our basement, when she found, among many other things, this > newspaper clipping.

I just wanted to let you know about a new book ... there's no index in this one. It was a fun book with history but no genealogy. It's unlike any I've done before. Kentucky Memories, An Illustrated Look At How It Used To Be. This is a look back at simpler times in Kentucky and elsewhere. Chapters include: Transportation (a look at the automobile, service stations, rumble seats and fins, Burma Shave signs and the military jeep); Our Childhood (games, crafts, paper dolls, our first bicycle); Family Living (summer vacations, the family vacation, the old country church, comics of the past and the drive-in theaters); It's a Woman's World: (WWI cooking, home-made ice cream, a mother's apron, needles and threads and the sewing machine, dying clothes in the past and some of our kitchen appliances); Do You Remember? (the Fuller Brush Man, marching to the beat of a different drummer, Grandfather's pocket watch, the Five & Dime, transistor radios, riding the rails, Of Sports and Games (basketball, barnyard golf, a military history of Monopoly and sliding the groats); Medical wonders of the past and a quiz! 92 pages of memories plus many photographs and illustrations. If you have any questions, write me privately.

My wife was going through some old boxes of photos and things, trying to clean up our basement, when she found, among many other things, this newspaper clipping. I don't know the date, or the writer, but I am quite sure the paper was The Glasgow Daily Times. I remember this winter very well. Article... "FILE THIS AWAY FOR DEBATE THAT IS CERTAIN TO DEVELOPE WITH THE PASSAGE OF YEARS _________________________________ The results of the great sleet and snow storm that began Sunday, January 28, 1951, will be of interest to later generations. "The big snow of 1951" had six inches of ice covered with four to seven inches of snow. File this for future arguments as to what did happen here and when: All city and county schools were closed, leaky roofs and damp walls inside the house were common all over the county; roofs caved in, no trains were in operation, and outside telegraph and telephone services were cut off; there was no mail, no traffic on the highways, electric lights and power were off; water pipes froze, there were no newspapers, birds starved by the thousands, the thermometer registered 21 below, and limbs and trees crashed because of a heavy weight of snow and ice; highways and sidewalks were damaged, stores were closed, both city and rural mail deliveries were restricted for several days; motors of autos would not start, radiators were frozen, and business, the courts and public schools were closed down; ill-tempered folks with frost-bitten ears and noses were common, and danger from falling icicles four feet in length, and from crashing trees and slick sidewalks was the rule. Several broken arms, legs and hips were reported, and stock perished in the fields and the barns because of the intense cold; hunger from food shortage Threatened in some areas, and there was widespread suffering on the part of the underprivileged; no buses were in operation for four days, motors burned out when the electric current became weak, no garbage was collected, and all light and power went off when the lines broke; there was no social; activity, gas and oil furnaces and refrigerators were dead, church attendance was low and all sports programs were cancelled, and many basements were knee deep in water, the town clock froze, parking meters were useless, and candles were in great demand for lighting all over town. The storm began Sunday, January 28. The worst period was the following Wednesday through Monday, February 5, when it became a bit warmer. At present the going is still rough, with no sign of melting ice and snow. The weatherman reports colder weather is due." As I said...I remember this winter very well, and it was bad! But I do think the reporter was engaging in a bit of hyperbole. M. Dean Hunt Louisville, KY

In "Times of Long Ago", Franklin Gorin stated that Henry Miller was one of the earliest settlers in Barren Co after organization, arriving in 1799. His son, Dr. Henry Miller is the subject of the following biography. The biography appeared in "Transactions of the Kentucky State Medical Society, Twentieth Annual Session, Held at Henderson, KY., April, 1875. Published in Louisville by the John P. Morton and Company, 1875. Page 38-43. I am going to share this lengthy article with the readers as I believe some on the lists might be interested. This is captioned "Report of the Committee on Necrology" DR. HENRY MILLER. In noticing the death of Dr. Henry Miller the American Practitioner for March, 1874, contained the following remarks: "Dr. Miller has for many years held the foremost place among the obstertricians of Kentucky and a high rank among those in America noted for their skill in this line of our profession, having distinguished himself as much by his writings on obstetric medicine as by his ability as a teacher and practitioner. He was permitted to devote more than half a century laboriously to the practice of medicine, and during much of the larger portion of that time his mind and studies were directed specially to the department of it in which he achieved his great reputation. At the period of his death he was the oldest physician in Louisville actively engaged in practice. Of all those whom he found in the field when he came to the city forty years ago he leaves but one behind him fit for active duty, and he survived all but one of his earliest colleagues - those associated with him in founding the medical school in which he passed the most profitable years of his life. He was one of the connecting links, fast disappearing, between the present generation of physicians and the race which shaped medicine in the backwoods of Kentucky and organized medical education in the West." Henry Miller was born in Glasgow, Ky., on the 1st of November, 1800, beginning life with the nineteenth century. His father, Henry Miller was one of the three original settlers of Glasgow. Henry exhibited very early an aptness to learn, which was improved by the best schools within his reach, and he acquired a competent knowledge of the Latin, as well as a very thorough acquaintance with his own language; and also studied logic, geometry, metaphysics, and the branches of natural science taught in the higher seminaries of that day. He says of himself, in the preface to the first edition of his Obstetrics: "The author's education was not acquired in academic halls, but in the primitive school-houses of his native state and upon the ample sward, shaded by forest-trees, appurtenant thereunto. So that you see he was reared after the fashion of Socrates - imbibing knowledge in the school-house under the shade of trees, and not unfrequently perched upon their boughs." Choosing medicine as the profession of his life, he entered upon the study when only seventeen years old, under the tuition of Drs. Bainbridge and Gist in his native village. That year a medical school was opened in Kentucky with every promise of success. The medical department of Transylvania University was organized in 1817 with professors of signal ability. But young Miller deemed it more profitable to stay at home in the shop of his preceptors, compounding medicines, pulling teeth, bleeding, putting up prescriptions, and attending to similar offices, to attending lectures, and so permitted the first course in the school to pass by unimproved. To be continued next week.
