Notes	The following appears in the 1882 History of Boone County, Missouri book, which is not always accurate: P. 677 - FELIX GRUNDY SITTON, M.D. Dr. Sitton is the son of J.T. and Priscilla (May) Sitton, and was born on a farm two miles from Fulton, Callaway county, Missouri, March 8, 1822. His father was a native of Tennessee, and his mother of Kentucky, though they came to Missouri in an early day, where they became acquainted and were married. Dr. Felix G. was the eldest of a family of four sons and one daughter, the latter being deceased. One of the brothers resides at Ashland, in this county, and the other, Albert G. Sitton, is in the medical practice at Claysville. The subject of this sketch attended the common schools of his native county, and acquired a knowledge of algebra, natural philosophy, etc., at the school of Mr. Woodsworth, near Williamsburg. At that time he was eighteen years old. For the next two years he engaged in teaching, also continuing his studies in private. In the spring of 1845 he commenced the study of medicine under D. E. Rackliffe, of Portland, Callaway county, at the same time earning the means to prosecute his studies by his own industry. Two years later he went to St. Louis, where he finished his medical course and received his diploma from the St. Louis Medical College. He began the practice four miles north of Ashland in 1849, boarding first in the family of Mr. Strode, and practicing in that part of the county. In 1855 he moved to Ashland, where he has since resided and practiced his profession. June 14, 1846, he enlisted in Capt. Rogers company of Col. Doniphans regiment, and served in the Mexican war in the Army of the West, under Gen. Kearney. On account of failing health, however, he was discharged from service, and returned home in August. In the following May, his health being recovered, he went to ST. Louis to continue his studies in the hospitals. Dr. Sitton was first married January 4, 1853, to Miss Susan Strode, daughter of Jacob S. and Frances Strode. She died September 14, 1871, missing text about children and second marriage He is an active temperance man and a strong prohibitionist. The historians of this work are much indebted to Dr. Sitton for a detailed history of new Salem church, of which he has been so long a member. 1870; Census Place: Cedar, Boone, Missouri; Roll M593_760; Page: 41A; Image: 85; Family History Library Film: 552259.
