	Dr. Isaac K. Leming is an eminent medical practitioner who has
practiced his profession in this county for a number of years, and during
this time has won fame and fortune. He was born in Tyler, Tex., in 1851,
being the fourth child born to Elijah and Mary (Pierce) Leming. (See
sketch of Elijah Leming.) He was reared in Scott County, Ark., and after
obtaining a good practical education in the common schools near his home,
he began the study of medicine, his studies being pursued under his
father, who gave him thorough instruction. He afterward entered the St.
Louis Electic Medical College in 1877, from which institution he was
graduated in the spring of 1878, after which he practiced for some time
in Sebastian County. He soon, however came to Scott County, and has since
been a resident of Waldron where, by the thorough knowledge of his
profession and his ability to put his knowledge to a practical use, he
has built up a very large and lucrative practice. In 1889 he formed a
partnership with Dr. A. A. Sanford, and together they make one of the
strongest firms in this section, and command respect from all their
medical brethren. In 1872 he was married to Miss Abbie L. Basshal, of
Sebastian County, daughter of Joseph P. Basshal, an old pioneer settler
of that county. To them four children have been born: Maud (who died in
infancy), Joseph E., Samuel A. and Minnie L. The family worship in the
Methodist Episcopal Church, and the Doctor belongs to Greenwood Lodge N.
