William Gaulding, physician, Waco, Haralson Co., Ga., son of John and Jane Gaulding, was born in Oglethorpe county,

 Ga., April 15, 1833. His parents subsequently removed to Troup county, where he was reared and received the very

indifferent education he started in life with. Having more fully educated himself and studied medicine, he attended Georgia

 Medical college, Augusta, from which he graduated in 1856, and immediately afterward located at Haralsonville, Troup county.

 After remaining there twenty years, and establishing a very large and remunerative practice, he removed, in 1876, to Carroll

County, where he remained -until December, 1893, adding to his reputation as one of the most skillful and successful

physicians in that part of the state. At the last-named date he moved to Waco, where he is still actively practicing his

profession, Enjoying the unreserved confidence of a large and still increasing constituency. He was postmaster a number

 of years at Haralsonville, conducted a drug store at Carrollton and Waco, and engaged extensively in farming during his

professional life, and has accumulated a quite large estate. Dr. Gaulding was married May 6, 1856, to Miss Amanda R.,

 daughter of R. W. and Elizabeth Brown, a union which has been blessed with eleven children: Aldora, Lizzie Love, Henry

 Valentine, Benjamin Holmes, deceased, Lizzie Thomas, I. W., Odessa, Seaborn May, Exar, deceased, Clyde Speer, and

 Luella, deceased. Dr. Gaulding was originally an "old-line" Whig, and voted against secession, but is now affiliated with the
populists. He is a master Mason, and himself and wife are prominent and influential members of the Methodist church.
