As a last resort, but with slight hope of his recovery, he was carried to Asheville for treatment, but died in a few hours after reaching there. Dr. Ivie was born in Patrick County, Va., April 6, 1863. He was the third son of William S. and Sallie Scales Ivie. His early life was spent in the country; it was here in Nature's school that the first impression of his life-work came to him. Having inherited a medical nature, and a desire for the practice of medicine, this nature began early in life to assert itself. The attention it seemed to please him to give to the sick and the manner in which he administered to their needs could but suggest that his life-work would be in the Interest of suffering humanity. He received his literary education in the schools of his native State. After teaching for a few years he entered the Baltimore Medical College for the consummation of the most cherished hope of his boyhood, that of being a physician. He graduated from this institution with high honors in the year 1893, after which he located at Stoneville, N. C, where he was a successful practitioner for eleven years, removing from there to Leaksville, N. C, in the latter part of the year 1903. He was married In 1895 to Miss Mattie Smith, a daughter of Mr. N. S. Smith, of Stoneville, N. C. His wife and two small children survive him. In early manhood he joined the M. B. Church, living a consistent member until death. His body was laid to rest in the family plot in the Methodist Cemetery in Leaksville on January 24, 1905, with the beautiful and solemn rites of the Masonic Order, of which he was a member. What his death means to his loved ones and the community can best be told in the words of his pastor: "In the death of Dr. Ivie the community has lost a good citizen and a most excellent physician, the church has lost an honored member and his family a kind and devoted husband and father." Dr. Ivie, at the time of his death, was Secretary and Treasurer of Rockingham County Medical Society.
