Jacob Liecester Shirley
1920 Biography of JACOB LIECESTER SHIRLEY - History of the
American Negro, Georgia Edition Vol II
Dr. Jacob L. Shirley, of Dawson, is a native of Jamaica, British
West Indies, and still maintains his British citizenship. He
was born December 15, 1884, and is a son of David and Elizabeth
(Daniel) Shirley. His father was a farmer. The Shirleys are
long lived. His grandfather, Richard Shirley, who was
a contractor, lived to the ripe old age of ninety-two, and his
grandmother, Nancy, to ninety-four. His maternal grandfather
was Jacob Daniel.
As a boy. Dr. Shirley attended the Jamaica public schools,
and when he was eighteen years of age came to the United States.
He is a self-made man of the type which need not be ashamed of
the joli. After coming to the States, he entered the Southern
Christian Institute, in Mississippi, from which he was graduated
with the degree of B. S. in 1906. He has been accustomed to rely
on his own efforts, and worked his own way through school. Having
decided to enter the medical profession, he matriculated at Meharry
College, Nashville, from which he was graduated with the ]\I.
D. degree in 1910. He earned the money for this course by working
at whatever offered an opportunity to earn an honest dollar.
During several of his vacations he was in the Pullman service,
and this took him over the States and Canada generally, and gave
him a splendid opportunity to acquaint himself with the habits
and customs of the people in every section, and gave him an insight
into things American which has been helpful to him in his business
and professional career. He is a man of marked intelligence,
and an extensive reader of general literature, as well as the
cni-rent magazines and papers. He is of a progressive turn of
mind, and on locating at Dawson in -June, 1910, organized the
Union Drug Company, now nnder different management. He was also
the first colored professional man in his section to use an automobile
in his practice. As the character of his professional work became
known, his practice grew. He has good business .iuclgment and
has prospered financially. After the epidemic of Influenze broke
out in 1918, though greatly rushed and treating many cases, at
a disadvantage, he lost only two cases out of first 1,200 treated.
He is a member of the Christian denomination, and is loyal
to his church, although there is no local organization of his
denomination at Dawson. Among the secret orders he is identified
with the Masons, Odd Fellows, and a number of the smaller secret
benevolent societies. He is medical examiner for a number of
these, and is also medical examiner for the Standard Life Insurance
Company.
On November 3,
1912, he was married to Miss Ethel ^Matthews, of Dawson, who
is a graduate of Americus Institute. They own an attractive home
in Dawson, and have already made for themselves a prominent place
in the business, social and professional life of the community.
They have three children. Gladys Olga, Jacob L., Jr., and Georgia
Elizabeth Shirley. Dr. Shirley is a member of the State Medical
Association.
