WILLIAM B. DOHERTY, M.D., is a native of Ireland, and was born in Donegal
County, January 24, 1847.  His parents died in Ireland, but he was
liberally educated.  After going through the National schools and teaching
for a time, he took a classical course.  He came to New York in July, 1867,
and for a time taught school.  In the meantime he began the study of
medicine.  He came to Kentucky in 1869, and graduated from the medical
department of the University of Louisville in 1872, and has practiced
ever since.  For six years he was clinical assistant to Profs. Parvin and
Holland, both now of Philadelphia.  He served for two years on the
Louisville Hospital staff.  In 1886 he visited Europe, where he attended
the hospitals of Dublin, London, Berlin and Vienna.  He was married in
April, 1875, to Miss Tillie R. Deppen, a daughter of J. L. Deppen, a well
known citizen of Louisville.  He is secretary of the College of Physicians
and Surgeons, one of the oldest medical societies in the United States,
having been established in 1832, and chartered by the Legislature of
Kentucky in 1838.  Prof. Gross was the first president, and Austin Flint
and Lewis Rogers among the incorporators.  He is Medical Examiner for
the Catholic Knights of America, and other insurance companies, and is
