Adair County, Ky., where he grew to manhood, and in 1883 he located at
Junction City, Boyle County, where he has since resided.  His father,
Manson W. Cartwright, was born in 1803 in Russell County, where he served
as magistrate and member of the court of claims, and in 1859 he removed to
his present home in Adair County.  He is a farmer, and lost five slaves as
the result of the late war.  He was the son of Joseph Cartwright, a native
of Virginia, who removed to Kentucky when a young man (his father, Samuel,
having preceded him) and died in 1849 at a great age.  Samuel Cartwright,
the first settler on Cartwright Creek, removed to Middle Tennessee previous
to the year 1800.  Joseph married Mary White, of Adair County, and their
offspring were White, Nathan, John, Manson W., Hulda (Smith), Lucy (Judd),
Frances (Grant) and Sallie.  Manson W. married Catherine, daughter of Adam
and Susan (Walker) Yeiser, of Adair County, born in 1813, and from their
union sprang Dr. Henderson L., Mary S. (deceased), Dr. Walker F., Lucy M.,
Susan C., Cora H., Dr. Adam Y. and Dr. Thomas S.  Dr. Henderson L.

1857, died 1882, and to them were born Estella and Manson W. Jr.  He was
next married, November 20, 1884, to Miss Effie H. Wood, of Rockford, Ill.,
born in 1860.  The Doctor was favored with a liberal education, and in
1871 commenced the study of medicine with Dr. U. L. Taylor, of Columbia,
Ky., and having attended two full term courses of lectures, graduated in
1875 at the medical department of the University of Louisville, Ky.  He
