DR. J. G. MCPHEETERS, a native of Kentucky, was born in Fayette County January 21, 1811. He is the eldest son of six children born to Charles and Martha (Glass) McPheeters, natives of Virginia. In 1829, he entered Centre College, at Danville, Ky., and one year later came to Madison, Ind., entered a classical school there, and remained until the spring of 1831, when he came to Bloomington, and entered the State University, from which he graduated in 1834. During the following year, he taught in the preparatory department of this institution, then for some time taught a subscription school at Madison, Ind. Early in 1836, he returned to Kentucky, and for two years engaged in farming on the old home farm. In 1838, he began the study of medicine with Dr. Lloyd Warfield, of Lextington, Ky.; after one year returned to Bloomington, Ind., and resumed his studies with Dr. D. H. Maxwell. Late in 1839, he returned to Lexington, Ky., and entered the Transylvania Medical College, graduating with honors soon after. In the spring of 1840, he began the regular practice of medicine at Morgantown, Morgan Co., Ind. The next year he came to Bloomington, and formed a partnership with Dr. J. D. Maxwell, which lasted until January, 1850. In August, 1861, he entered the army as Surgeon of the Fourteenth Indiana Volunteers, and served over three years. Having been kept so constantly in charge of hospitals in various parts of the South, his health became impaired, and on September 16, 1864, he received an honorable discharge for disability, returning at once to Bloomington, where he resumed the practice of his profession.
In June, 1836, he was married to Miss Clara M. Dunn, daughter of Samuel Dunn, a pioneer of Monroe County. He is a prominent member of the Royal Arch Masons, of the Presbyterian Church, and an old-time Republican.

HIS FIRST BIRTHDAY
There has always been a controversy as to the age of Dr. Jos. G. McPheeters, even among members of his own family, his father's family having removed from Kentucky to different points in the west, and the record of his age, by some accident, lost. From memorandums found among the papers of Dr. McPheeter's sister, who died at his home three years since, it was ascertained that he was born January 21, 1810, and consequently would be 77 years of age on Friday last. He wrote to his absent children his great desire to have his entire family spend that day with him. They all responded and were with him, except two grandsons: Joseph Wilstach and Joseph M. Taylor, namesakes of the grandfather; but they were present in spirit. Mrs. Taylor and daughter of Lafayette, Jos. G. McPheeters and wife, Mrs. McCarty and son of Frankfort, Clara Wilstach, Charles H. McPheeters, wife and two children, and the only uncle, Ben R. Dunn, spent the entire day at the old home. The Doctor has been quite feeble all winter, but greatly enjoyed this first reunion, and the earnest prayer of all present was that he might be spared to celebrate many more.
Providence has dealt kindly with this family as in more than fifty years there is but one vacant chair--and the children all though of and missed the sweet- faced mother.
