CHRISTIAN, FAULKNER, COOPER, LEE, NEWMAN, STOCKING, CARNEAL
Drs. R. E. & W. W CHRISTIAN, physicians and surgeons of Fayetteville,
Tenn., are the sons of Dr. D W. and Americus (FAULKNER) CHRISTIAN. The
father was of Scotch-Irish descent, and was born in Knox County, Tenn., in
1817. At the age of eighteen he began studying medicine under Dr. COOPER,
and later graduated from the Louisville (Ky.) Medical College. He
practiced in Kentucky and Texas, and during the late war resided in
Louisville. In 1878 he established a drug store in Fayetteville, but died
March 9, 1880, after living a useful and well-spent life. He was a true
Christian, and left behind him an untarnished name. He was married May 16,
1844. His wife was born in Christian County, Ky., and since the death of
her husband has resided with her two sons in Fayetteville. She is the
second cousin of Gen. Robert E. LEE. Of her seven children five are
living: R. E., Lillie M. (widow of Dr. B. C. NEWMAN), Hattie Lee (Mrs. E.
D. STOCKING) Fannie Ella and W. W. R. E. CHRISTIAN is a druggist,
physician and surgeon of Fayetteville. He was born in Christian County,
Ky., in 1846, and was educated in the common schools and at Louisville, Ky.
In April, 1883, he entered upon his chosen profession, and in 1886
graduated from the medical department of the Vanderbilt University.
December 20, 1882, he married Josephine CARNEAL, born in 1859, daughter of
Walker CARNEAL. W. W. CHRISTIAN was born in Lexington, Tex., in 1857. He
attended school in Trenton, Paducah and Louisville, Ky., and Fayetteville,
Tenn. In August, 1880, he purchased some medical books and began the study
of medicine on his own responsibility. Two years later he entered
Vanderbilt University, graduating as a physician and surgeon in February,
1883. After his father's death he and his brother, R. E., took control of
the drug store which belonged to their father, but in July, 1884, the
building caught fire and was consumed. They soon re-established, and keep
a fine stock of drugs. These enterprising young men are building up a fine
practice, and will rank among the leading physicians and surgeons of
Tennessee. W. W. belongs to the K. & L. of H., and both brothers are
members of the Methodist Episcopal Church South.
