     MILFORD WINSLOW ROZZELL, M. D. was born on a farm one mile from
Pryorsburg, Graves county, Kentucky, March 13, 1857, a son of Miles
Washington and Melissa (Williams) Rozell [sic].  The father was born
in North Carolina January 8, 1821, and is one of the oldest
residents of Graves county, where he was brought by his parents when
twelve years of age.  His father, Thomas Rozzell, was numbered among
the pioneer settlers of the county and was a farmer by occupation,
which pursuit has also claimed the attention of his son, Miles W. 
The mother of our subject was born in Graves county, and her death
occurred here in 1902, when seventy-seven years of age.  In the
family of his worthy couple were eight children, only four of whom
grew to mature years and three are now living.
      Milford Winslow Rozzell spent the period of his boyhood and
youth on a farm, receiving his elementary education in the common
schools of the neighborhood, which was later supplemented by
attendance at the schools of Mayfield and Milburn.  For a brief
period thereafter he was engaged in teaching school, and then
entered Bethel College, of Tennessee.  At Pryorsburg he began the
study of medicine, also teaching during a part of the time, and he
then entered the University of Louisville, while later, in 1889, he
graduated from the Kentucky School of Medicine, at Louisville, and
then took a post-graduate course at Bellevue Hospital Medical
College.  From that time until 1898 Dr. Rozzell followed a general
practice of medicine at Pryorsburg, after which he took two courses
at Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat College, at Chicago, locating
thereafter at Mayfield, where he has since given special attention
to the treatment of those organs.  The medical profession in Graves
county numbers him among its most valued members, and he is
considered an authority in many departments of medical research and
practice.
     In 1880 Dr. Rozzell was united in marriage to Miss Minnie Pearl
Noblin, who died in 1902, after becoming the mother of three
children: Mabel C., Albany M. and Noblin.  The Doctor is a member of
the American Medical Association, the Southwestern Kentucky Medical
Society, of the order of Elks and is a Royal Arch Mason.  His
religious views connect him with the Cumberland Presbyterian church,
of which he is a worthy and consistent member.
