Dr. John Milton Worth, son of Da-

Guilford county . on the 28th June,
1811. His mother was a daughter of
Stephen Gardner, Esq. After making
use of the advantages offered by the
schools in his native county, he began
the study of medicine and continued it
until he graduated as a physician at
the Medical College in Lexington,
Kentucky. In 1832 he married Sarah,
daughter of Peter Dicks, Esq., and
has spent his life in Guilford, Mont
gomery and Randolph counties. Dr.
Worth was early called into political
life. Three times did he represent the
Senatorial district composed of Moore
und Montgomery counties ; twice that
composed of Randolph and Montgom

Dr. Love went to scljool in Asheville
to Messrs. Lee and Norwood : after
which he went to Washington College
in Tennessee, where he was a school
mate of Governor Vance. He studied
medicine in Asheville under those
noted physicians, Drs. Hardy and Les

phia, where in due course of time he
graduated at the Philadelphia Medical
College.

was elected a member of the Council
of State, during Governor Bragg' s ad
ministration, which position he re
signed in order to qualify himself for
a seat in the Legislature, for which he
was then a candidate. He was elect-

ed without opposition, and continued
to be so elected until the close of the
late war, soon after which he returned
to private life and resumed the prac
