Suit and Mary Ann Redmond Suit. He grew up in the Eva area. On June 11, 1882 he married a neighbor girl....They settled on the top of Wilhite Mountain near his family, where they raised their large family. William was a country doctor.

His patients lived in a large area of Morgan County and cullman County. He delivered all the babies and dispensed medicine, lots of bootleg whiskey, to the flu and colds victims. One rememdy I remember well was whiskey over rock candy for coughs. He delivered all his children, grandchildren, and four of his great grandchildren, including me who is the oldest great child. He got paid with meal, hams, sugar, and about anything they had around the house. Doctor Suit died February 11, 1944 of a heart attack. He was 83 years old. Here is a paragraph of his obituary. "Dr. Suit had practiced medicine in Morgan County for over forty-eight years. He was a member of the Missionary Baptist Church, and was one of the most widely beloved residents of Morgan County."
