T. W. Gallion, M. D., a prominent physician of Dandridge, Tenn., was born in Knox County, near Strawberry Plains, November 25, 1855, the son of T. Y. and Martha J. (McMillan) Gallion. The father was born in Buncombe County, N. C. in 1825, came to Tennessee two years later, and is now a humble farmer near Strawberry Plains, in Knox County, having spent from 1865 to 1877 in New Market Valley, Tenn. The mother was born in Knox County, and was a devoted Christian woman; both were Presbyterians. Our subject was reared in and near New Market, and was a pupil of Rev. W. H. Harrison, a noted Presbyterian divine, and also of Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, the gifted authoress. He also attended Holston College. He taught school four years, and in March, 1876, began the study of medicine, under Dr. J. A. S. Lisk. From 1877 to 1878, he attended the medical department of the University of Tennessee, at Nashville, and graduated in 1885. For two years before coming to his present practice he was located at Chestnut Hill. He was in partnership at Dandridge with Dr. Lyle (deceased) until the latter’s death. He has a large practice, and stands high in his profession. His brother, Dr. E. M. Gallion-his present partner—was born August 19, 1861, in Knox County, and attended college at Lebanon, Ohio, in 1883. He began his professional studies under his brother, January, 1884, and has attended lectures in the medical department of Lebanon (Ohio) College, and Miami Medical College of Cincinnati.
