| Title | Medical Account Book |
| Date | 1891-1912 |
| Creator (individual) | Ector, John G. |
| Subject headings | Ector, John G.--;Medicine--Practice--African Americans--Guilford County, N.C. |
| Place | Guilford County (N.C.) |
| Description | Includes accounts for both white and "colored" patients by name. Dr. Ector recorded little information about treatments, but he made many visits, usually chargining one or two dollars each, and he dispensed medicine, usually for about 50 cents. According to a biographical sketch written by Arthur Ledbetter in 1924, Ector practiced mainly west of town and out toward Guilford College, and he also had an extensive farm with apple orchards that were locally famous. The ledger shows that some of his patients paid their bills by working in his gardens and orchards, by hauling wood, and also plowing. Census records reveal that John G. Ector was born around 1832 and came to Guilford from Davidson County before 1870. At that time he was married to Phoebe and had two children, Lucien and Mary. The 1900 census shows that he lived alone in a boarding house, but by 1910 he was married again, to Ida, 37 years his junior. He died sometime before 1920. |
