G.W. WROTEN, M.D., is a native of Salisbury, Md., was born April 4, 1838,
and is a son of John W. and Zipporah (Hudson) Wroten, also native of
Maryland and of English origin.  John W. Wroten came to Kentucky in 1846 and
settled in Maysville, where he engaged in the boot and shoe business until
his death in 1876, at the age of sixty-four years.  G.W. Wroten received his
early education at Maysville, entered Transylvania University in 1857, and
graduated in 1859 in the classical course.  He then read medicine under Dr.
McGranaghan, entered Pennsylvania Medical College at Philadelphia, and
graduated in March, 1861.  For a short time he was an assistant surgeon in
the Confederate army, but in 1862 opened practice in Maysville; two years
later he went on the editorial staff of the Louisville Courier under Mr.
Haldeman, and in 1866 removed to Louisa, Lawrence County, where he was
principal of the Masonic Academy up to 1872, when he resumed the practice of
medicine, which he followed until the fall of 1886, when he was appointed
Principal of the Louisa Public schools, but still follows the practice of
his profession incidentally.  December 23, 1867, he married Miss Mary
Freese, a native of Prestonburg, Ky., and daughter of Capt. M. Freese.  To
this union three children have been born, Minnie C., Kittie A. and George.
The Doctor is a Democrat, and for four years was police judge of Louisa.  He
is a Freemason, and in addition to the multifarious career above recorded
was from 1868 to 1871 editor of the Big Sandy Herald.
