CHAPTER XIV. PHYSICIANS, LAWYERS, AND BANKS
(In a prefatory note to Chapter XI, Dr. Lipscomb an- nounced the titles of several chapters to be added to his history of Columbus. In these chapters he purposed to tell of the ante-bellum lawyers and physicians of the town, of the mer- cantile and manufacturing growth of the place, of the banks, hotels, and other matters of interest to those whose lives like his are linked inseparably with the history of the town. His illness and other causes prevented the completion of the chapters as planned; but from notes left by him, this chapter is composed, consisting of reminiscences and biog- raphical matter likely to be welcomed by the descendants of the staunch citizens of those earlier days.)
PHYSICIANS.
The physicians who practiced in Columbus in the first two or three decades of its history were men of striking person- ality; several of them of distinguished ablity. Ford, Thomp- son, Slade, and Baker first come into view. Dr. Ford was afterwards a professor in a Nashville Medical College. Dr. Thompson moved to the Mayhew prairie. Drs. Kade and Baker were elegant, dashing young men, who added the drug business to their profession. Immediately after these, came that strong and brilliant coterie of physicians composed of Dr. Samuel B. Malone, Aurelius N. Jones, William Spillman, Gideon Lincecum, A. V. Winter, Drs. Logue and McMichael, and Dr. Dabney Lipscomb.
DR. JOHN BROWNRIGG.
John Brownrigg, eldest son of Gen. R. T. Brownrigg, was born in "Wingfield," near Edenton, North Carolina, on December 6, 1829. He was very young when his father moved to Mississippi. He was a graduate of the Jefferson Medical College, in Philadelphia, and during almost the entire period of the Civil War he served in the Confederate Army as surgeon, attaining the rank of Division Surgeon. On Janu- ary 14, 1864, he married Elizabeth, daughter of Judge Wm. H. Yerger, of Jackson, Miss. She died very young and he never married again.
150
Dr. Sam. B. Malone came to Columbus as a surgeon from the United States navy, and soon became the most distin- guished surgeon and physician in northeast Mississippi, which rank he held until his death. He married Antoinette Bibb, daughter of Col. John D. Bibb. His daughter Miss Nettie Bibb married Hon. Alfred Glover of Forkland, Ala., and they are the parents of Mrs. Ledyard A. Vaughan of this city. Dr. Malone married four times; his second wife being Miss Mary Moore; his third wife Miss Winfield Sykes, mother of Mrs. Hunter Walker, now a citizen of Columbus; his last wife was Mrs. Bates.
Dr. Aurelius N. Jones was a man of large physical frame, strong, vigorous intellect, and very successful in his profession, to which he added the drug business; owning the store after- wards known as Blair's corner.
Dr. William Spillman, a modest, unpretentious man, had a large practice. He was extremely fond of natural science, to which he devoted much of his leisure time, until he became one of the best known geologists of the Southwest.
Dr. Gideon Lincecum was a man with an order of mind suited to pioneer life. He studied medicine in middle life, set- tled in Columbus as a botanic doctor, and became well ac- quainted with the medical botany of this section of the coun- try. He was fond of phrenology and mesmerism, and was considered an expert in both these branches. He wrote many interesting articles concerning the red ant and other insects and animals. After the war he moved from Texas to Mexico and made some interesting contributions to our knowledge of that country.
Dr. Dabney Lipscomb, son of Joel Lipscomb and Eliza- beth Childs, was born in Abbeville District, S. C. in 1803. He received a collegiate education in Columbia College, Wash- ington, D. C., under the guardianship of his father's friend and neighbor John C. Calhoun, the great statesman of the
Their only surviving child, Richard Thomas Brownrigg, is now prac- ticing law in St. Louis, Mo.
Dr. Brownrigg was an able and successful physician and was especially skilled in surgery. He practiced his profession in Columbus until his death, which occured in St. Louis on January 21, 1902.
He was a man of strong convictions and high character and was active in all movements looking to the moral and material advancement of the community, and enjoyed the respect of all who knew him.

South. He moved with his father to Greene county, Ala., where he chose medicine as his profession, and attended the famous medical school of the Southwest, Transylvania Uni- versity, Ky. He began the practice of medicine at Carthage, Ala., in 1827; but, with his wife and two sons, William Lown- des and George Hardwick, moved to Columbus, Miss., in 1832, where he soon became one of the prominent physicians of the town and section. He first lived in a cabin on the site of the present Dashiell residence, the front rooms of which first and second floors, he later built for his family residence. Col. Geo. Harris, to whom he sold the place, added the rooms to the rear. From his education at Washington and early asso- ciations there and in South Carolina Dr. Dabney Lipscomb throughout life manifested a fondness for literature and polit- ical writings. He was elected State Senator from Lowndes county in 1845, and re-elected in 1849. He so impressed his colleagues that he was twice chosen President of the Senate; which office he held till June, 1850, the time of his death. Had he lived to the end of his term, he would have been by virtue of his office the successor of Governor Quitman, who resigned in 1850. He was a strong, quiet, scholarly man, a capable and beloved physician, a Calhoun Democrat, an active, earnest Mason, one of the Deputy Grand Masters of the State, and a faithful, devoted steward of the Methodist church.
LAWYERS.
Among the lawyers here in 1832, were Stephen Cocke, afterwards Chancellor of the Northern District, Tilghman M. Tucker, later Governor of the State, Addison Boyken, E. L. Aycee, Stephen Nash, father of Hon. Wiley P. Nash of Starkville, and J. F. Trotter, Judge of the Circuit Court. James T. Harrison, afterwards distinguished as a lawyer, and Samuel Butterworth, later receiver of customs for the Port of New York, came to Columbus in 1833. Gradually there gathered here a bar unsurpassed in the State. Merely naming them is sufficient to establish this claim. James T. Harrison, William L. Harris, George R. Clayton, Charles R. Crusoe, Richard Evans, Beverly Matthews, and William S. Barry, men distinguished in the highest courts, and honored
152
in the councils of the State, the United States, and the Con- federate States of America. Of Meek, Orr, Sims, Sykes, Hum- phries, their worthy successors, and of the younger able lawyers now at the bar it is not needful to speak in words of praise, as might also be done of the doctors who came to usefulness and distinction in the years following the Civil War.
BANKS.
In 1832, there was not a bank in Columbus; and the hundreds of settlers who came here to enter lands and to locate homes brought their gold and silver in their saddle bags, and traveled in little companies for mutual protection. The population of Columbus increased so rapidly after the establishment of the land office for the sale of the Choctaw lands that before 1834 or 1835 there were two thousand or twenty-five hundred people in the place. Richard Barry left his first hotel site on Blair's corner, and built the Eagle Hotel where the Gilmer Hotel now stands. Other hotels soon went up: the Blewett House on College and Market streets, kept successively by Mrs. Musgrove, Col. Pope, and J. H. Curtis; also, the hotel that occupied Beard's corner was erected by James Jones in those flush times and later kept by Mordecai Howard. Every house was a boarding- house, and still there was lack of accommodations.
The financial condition of the country required the es- tablishment of banks, which were soon erected-the first being the Planter's Bank of Natchez. This bank occupied a substantial building, known after its suspension and wind up as the City Hall, situated on the site of the present City Hall. William B. Winston was its cashier, and its business was so successfully conducted that it did not fail in the crash of 1837, but was closed by the suspension of the parent bank.
The next bank established was the Commercial Bank. Dr. A. G. Wier was president and Capt. Charles H. Abert, cashier. They erected a brick building on St. John's Street, just in the rear of the present Masonic Temple. The Real Estate Bank, Madison Walthall, president, built for their use the house on the corner just opposite the court house, later known as Worrell's corner. The Tombigbee R. R. and
1
FIRST STATE BANK.
152
153
Banking Company occupied a building about the middle of West Market between Main and Court House Streets.
These banks were followed by a great number of private banks known as shin-plaster banks, which redeemed their issue in paper currency.
All these banks were swept away by the Panic of 1837, so that early in the forties there was not a bank in Columbus. During this time, our planters and merchants all did their business with Mobile and other foreign banks. Our farmers sent their cotton crops to commission merchants in Mobile, who with the proceeds thereof bought their supplies and sent by boat to them up the Tombigbee.
The Columbus merchants sold goods on a year's credit, and were paid with checks on the Mobile commission merch- ants. The banks in Nashville, Tenn., Augusta, Ga., and Charleston, S. C. supplied a great deal of the money during these times.
The financial condition was so inconvenient and involved so much time that the business men made it a political issue, which divided both the old Whig and the Democratic party. In 1852 Ex-Gov. James Whitfield as a Bank Democrat and Col T. C. Billups as a Bank Whig organized a party which defeated the regular Democratic nominees at the following election. The Bank members of the legislature repealed or modified the anti-bank legislation so that banks could be re-established.
In 1852 the Columbus Insurance and Banking Company was organized with James Whitfield as president, and W. J. Anderson, cashier. Gov. Whitfield remained president until his death and was succeeded by Col. Abram S. Humphries. He was succeeded by Major John M. Billups, and he by Capt. T. B. Franklin. Anderson was followed, as cashier, by N. E. Goodwin, who after long and faithful service gave place to W. H. Lee, the present worthy and efficient cashier of the bank. That they have been successful all these years is abundantly attested by their ability to weather the reverses of war and being now housed in so magnificent a building.
The next bank established was the private bank of Wil- liams, Johnston & Company, located first in the Gilmer Hotel building. This was subsequently chartered as the 17
154
First National Bank, and then as the First State Bank, having moved into its own building near the corner of Main and Mar- ket streets. On its present site and over old Blair's corner they will soon erect a spendid bank and office building. Capt. C. A. Johnston as president and Mr. R. T. Williams as cashier have for years ably and successfully conducted the finances of this strong bank institution.
Next came the Merchants and Farmers' Bank with a beautiful building on Market Street. Joseph M. Street, President, and E. C. Chapman, Cashier. These capable officials and a strong board of directors have set this bank on a firm foundation, and assured for it a successful future.
The Penny Savings Bank, operated by negro capitalists, seems to be prospering, and should not be omitted in this account of the banking institutions of Columbus.
The prosperity of its three banks, the remodeling into a first-class modern hostelry of the Gilmer Hotel, the build- ing of Stone Hotel, and other hotels and boarding houses sufficient to entertain large gatherings in the town, the es- tablishment of a street car system, the remodeling of the Court House, the building of a new spacious Baptist church, and the paving of the walks of her beautiful streets are among the unmistakable signs that Columbus has established her place as the leading city of northeast Mississippi; affection- ately regarded by her citizens, and by many others conceded to be the Queen City of the State.
DR. BASKERVILLE.
Among the Columbians of the present time who have achieved honorable distinction is Dr. Charles Baskerville, who was born at Deerbrook, but reared in Columbus, where he received his early edu- cation. After six years of study in the Universities of Mississippi, Virginia, Vanderbilt and North Carolina, receiving from the latter the degree of B. S., he pursued post-graduate work in the University of Berlin, under the eminent chemists of Germany.
He was Assistant and Associate Professor of Chemistry in the University of North Carolina from 1892 till 1900, from which time he held the chair of Chemistry till in 1904 he was called to the head of the Department of Chemistry in the College of the City of New York.
Dr. Baskerville has made the rare earths his special study and has published important researches on Zirconium, Thorium, Titan- icum and Praseodynium. He is the discoverer of the rare elements of Carolinium and Barzelium and has conducted valuable researches in other fields of chemistry. He is the author of the following text- books: "Aids to School Chemistry;" "Radium and the Radioactive Elements;" "General Inorganic Chemistry;" "The Chemical Ele- ments," and "The Rare Metals." Dr. Baskerville is fellow of several Societies for the Advancement of Science .- EDITOR.
