Goodspeed, 1889
Dr. A. B. Carey is a practicing physician of Knoxville Station, Ark., and owing to the fact that he thoroughly understands his calling and has met with the best of success in practicing the 'healing art,' he is ranked among the very foremost of the professional men of Johnson County. He was born in the county September 8, 1861, to Caleb (see biography) and Eveline (Price) Carey, the former of whom was born in Alabama in 1818, and is a tiller of the soil. He married his wife in this county, and their union resulted in the birth of nine children, seven living: John E., William, Sarah (wife of James Murray), Martha A. (wife of Call Williams), Dicey (wife of T. F. Young), Julia (wife of Joseph Looper), and our subject. Their mother died in 1862, a member of the Christian Church, but the father is still a resident of this county, a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.

Dr. A. B. Carey was principally educated in the common schools of this county, and in 1884 he began the study of medicine, and the same year attended lectures at Little Rock, graduating in 1888. He commenced practicing at Knoxville and has won the entire confidence of his numerous patrons. Although he has practiced only a short time, he gives every promise of rising to distinction in his profession, as he fully deserves to do. He is fitting up a large store room, in which he intends putting a good stock of drugs and expects to have everything in working order by December 1, 1890.

He was married in 1889 to Miss Nannie B. King, of this county, born July 23, 1871, a daughter of W. S. and Jane F. King. The Doctor and his wife are members of the Presbyterian Church and Methodist Episcopal Church respectively, and he belongs to Knoxville Lodge No. 30, of the I. O. O. F.
