DR. A. J. WILCOXSON, a prominent merchant of Christiansburg, Ky., was
born in Shelby County, April 2, 1841, a son of Lewis and Nancy (Miles)
Wilcoxson.  He received a good common-school education, and in 1864
commenced to read medicine.  He attended two full courses of lectures at
the University of Louisville, Ky., 1864-65 and 1865-66, and graduated with
honors in February, 1866.  He then located in Bridgeport in Franklin
County, and practiced one year; later moved to Christiansburg and opened a
drug store, also continuing to practice his profession.  He was in the
drug business for about four years, and in 1872 opened a general store at
the same place, and continued very successfully until 1885.  He then sold
out to accept a position in the clothing store of Oakball at Louisville,
but preferring to be in business for himself remained in Louisville only
a few months.  He returned to Christiansburg and opened a general store,
and is now the leading merchant in the town.  He married, September 7,
1865, Miss Emma Clayton, of Shelby County, daughter of Dr. James and
Catherine (Holmes) Clayton.  Of six children born to this union, five are
living: Salin, born September 16, 1868, and now clerking in the store for
his father; Kate T., attending school at Georgetown; Guy C., born
September 22, 1872; Earl, born June 2, 1877; Elbert Boone, born Jun 2,
1883.  Dr. Wilcoxson is a member of the Baptist Church, as are also his
wife and daughter.  The Doctor is a man of mark in his community, of
commanding figure and attractive appearance, generous, unselfish and
thoroughly amiable, a gentleman of pleasing manners, and a great favorite
with all who know him.
