Biography

The youngest daughter of Captain Hugh, Mary Ann McMillen, married Philip C. Rudisail, who removed from Spartanburg District to Georgia a few years before the outbreak of the Civil War. He had five children, among whom was Dr. R. Y. Rudisail who deserves more than passing notice.

Dr. Robert Young Rudisail was born and reared on his father's farm on North Pacolet, near Fingerville, S. C. The date of his birth is August 8th, 1832. He went to school to the Golightlys, William and Patillo, was a diligent student, and under the rigid system and training (to use his own words) of these teachers he ac- quired a good English and classical education. He read medicine with Dr. W. P. Compton, and after two courses in the South Carolina Medical College graduated in 1855, and soon after removed to Georgia, settling at Summerville, in Chattooga county, where he at once en- tered into the practice of his profession.

At the outbreak of the Civil War he volunteered in the Confederate Army and was commissioned as a surgeon. He served as such to the end of the war, and was at the surrender of General Johnson at Greensboro, N. C. He was elected to the State legislature from his county in 1874 and served two years. He was reelected to the same body in 1895, and in the reelections that followed, has served to the present year (1900).

He married Miss Eliza E. Knox, a graduate of the Synodical Female College in Talladega County.^[1]
