JAMES ADDISON MERIWETHER (1855-aft.1931) FARM ACCOUNT BOOK
The farm account book includes a record of expenses of James A. MERIWETHER's
farm near Lynchburg, Virginia. In addition to individual accounts, there are also
accounts for a plaster mill, a bone mill, and a corn mill, operated by MERIWETHER.
The account book appears to be that of Dr. James Addison MERIWETHER, a physician
who also operated a farm at Holcomb Rock in Bedford County, Virginia.
JAMES ADDISON MERIWETHER (1855-aft.1931)
James Addison MERIWETHER, the son of Charles J. MERIWETHER and Ellen D.
MERIWETHER, was born August 1855, in Bedford County, Virginia. He attended the
University of Virginia Medical Department during 1880-1881. He received his medical
degree from New York College in 1882. He was elected a Fellow of the Medical Society
of Virginia in 1888.
James A. MERIWETHER married 27 April 1882 Emily S. HARRIS, daughter of
James M. HARRIS and Louisa M. TINSLEY, of Bedford County, Virginia.
In addition to his medical practice, Dr. MERIWETHER also operated a farm at
Holcomb Rock, in Bedford County, near Lynchburg. He died after 1931.
