  [S118] History of early Sevier County Doctors , Beulah Linn, (www.sevierlibrary.org/genealogy/doc/doc.htm). Dr. J.W. Bradshaw, son of Richard Bradshaw, was born Jan. 4,1850, at Mt. Horeb, Jefferson County, Tn. Because of his limited education he felt incompetent to meet the challenge of the great field of labor to which he was called, so at the age of 22, he worked his way through Mossy Creek (now Carson-Newman College). He studied medicine under Dr. P.E. Walker for awhile, and then entered Medical college at Nashville, Tn. (Now Vanderbilt University). After completing the course of medicine and graduating, be took his life-long profession as a doctor. As a practicing physician Dr. Bradshaw had sympathy for all suffering humanity. Many times as the cold winds blew and the rain came down, in the dark of night he saddled his horse and rode out to minister to the sick, knowing in many cases he would receive no recompense. After having the flu himself, he went out to visit patients and contracted pneumonia, which led to his death. Dr. Bradshaw took great interest in the training and education of his children. His favorite relaxation was playing the violin. On Sept. 10,1883, he married Michael Ellen Emert, dau. of Frederick L. and Michael Parker Emert. To this union were born six children: Homer; Lillie j Mae (Mrs. W. E. Branam); Frederick Locke; Minnie (Mrs. R.N. Ogle); Daniel; Iva Bradshaw. Dr. Bradshaw was privileged to see only one of his grandchildren. He delivered and named her Nita Lucile. She is now a retired school teacher living in Sevierville and is married to Buford Brown. A reprint from the Sevierville Enterprise dated June 1,1882 states, "Prof. A. B. Bradshaw was in town last week visiting friends. We learn that he will commence the study of medicine with Dr. J. W. Bradshaw, a prominent physician at this place." Prof. Bradshaw also visited with his relatives, the Rawlings boys, Mr. K, Fred, Lynn and others. In his youth Dr. Bradshaw united with the Presbyterian Church at Mt. Horeb. After his marriage he united with the Hills Creek Baptist Church in Emerts Cove, where he was ordained as a Deacon, a place he filled honorably until his death on Feb. 12, 1911.
