Dr. Isaiah Tucker Irvin Stevens, son of Pat and Martha Stevens of Oak Hill, graduated in medicine at the University of Georgia in 1885 and set up practice in Shady Dale, GA. I have his diploma, on vellum, from the University, signed by President P H Mell and all the professors. His very long obituary praises his service in his community as a young doctor and extols his service and honesty. He became "exhausted" from his exertions and travel to patients, and in November, 1890, fell ill in the lungs and never recovered. He was to have been married before he took ill, but died leaving no family.
