Jennie Stuart Memorial Hospital was the dream of Dr. Edward Stuart, a pioneer physician who practiced medicine in his home in Fairview, Kentucky. His dream became a reality shortly after the turn of the century when his beloved wife became the inspiration and legacy for a new hospital.Dr. Stuart was born in 1828, near Antioch Church. He graduated from St. Louis Medical College in 1851 and began his medical practice in the Crofton area. After two years, Dr. Stuart moved his practice to Fairview and conducted a modest medical practice in Fairview for the next 67 years, where The Stuart House still stands. He married Jane "Jennie" Vaughn, and they had two children: May, who died in her 20s, and Willie, who died in infancy.
