DR. STEPHEN E. CAREY (deceased). Among the medical fraternity of Brown County there are none who figured more prominently as did the subject of this sketch while living. He was born August 20, 1820, in Eagle Township, Brown Co., Ohio. Having received his rudimentary education, he attended for some time the Physio-Medical College in Cincinnati, and at a later period became a professor therein. In September, 1851, he married Elizabeth E. Records, by whom he had two children — Emmons L. (at present engaged in the milling business at Fincastle), and Alice B. (wife of Mr. William Peddicord, now of Eagle Township). Mr. Carey resided in Cincinnati for perhaps twenty years, and in Indianapolis seven years; the remainder of his life has been spent in Brown County. He practiced medicine with great success at Fincastle for many years. He departed this life December 19, 1881; his widow survives him, and at present resides near South Fincastle.
