George Daniel Daily was the oldest son of Jeremiah and Mal inda Daily. George served as a surgeon`s assistant througho ut the Civil War. This was to change his life forever. Th e young husband and father of two young daughters served hi s fellow soldiers well, then came home to the Rock Creek co mmunity in then Franklin County to serve as the only `docto r` most of the people ever knew. Medical training in thos e times was by apprenticeship. George had seen and done eno ugh during those four years of war to serve his community a s their doctor. He delivered hundreds of babies, compounde d his own herbal remedies, and performed other duties onl y an MD would do today. George built a classic `dog-trot` log house beside a fres h water spring in the forest of West Colbert County. Colber t County was carved from the northern half of Franklin Coun ty during the years following the divisive Civil War. The h ouse is owned today by descendants. I remember many tales t old by my father-in-law of happenings at `grand-pa`s` house . Many of us own bits of memorabilia from that house. Georg e and Sarah Jane produced a large family of five girls an d three boys.
