Dr. Daniel Vertner Sevier was one of the best known physicians in Franklin County. He is said to have been a graduate of the Louisville Medical College. Dr. Sevier was located at Frankfort during its days of glory and, and there his first wife, who was Miss Safrona Chisholm is buried. He was at Russellville for many years and was a leading citizen of that place. Dr. Sevier was a bold, outspoken man, and like his illustrious grandfather, General Sevier, was very brave. He was a member of the Church of Christ and a Republican. He was State Senator from Franklin County in 1868, and in 1871-72.

From the book: "Distinguished Men, Women and Families of Franklin Co.,

Alabama," by R. L. James, pub. cir. 1927-1929. Copy of book located in the

Franklin County Library, Russellville, Alabama but not in very good shape as of June 2002. UPDATE: On April 30, 2004, I visited the new Franklin Archives Building in Russellville, Alabama and was glad to see that Chris Ozbirn, Director, had procured an original copy of the publication of this book.
