The descendant of a pioneer first-family of Virginia, he grew up in this a small town in the Allegheny Mountains bordering the Shenandoah Valley surrounded by National Forests and the headwaters of the James and Potomac rivers. His birth place inspired his life long love of nature and early American history. Among other things, he could recognize most every bird by its song and every tree by its bark. Although his father was a surveyor and County Clerk, he also farmed land long owned by his family. When John was a child, he did literally walk several miles to help feed the cattle before breakfast. Thus began his strong work ethic. He remarked throughout his life how much his growing up years meant to him. John was the sixth of nine children, all of whom earned advanced degrees in their respective fields. After graduating from Monterey High School, John attended the University of Virginia, where he earned his undergraduate (1941) and medical (1944) degrees. While at the University, he met his wife, Helen Reed Munson from Connellsville, PA, who was a student at Mary Baldwin College in Staunton, VA. They married on September 18, 1942. During World War II, John was a Captain in the U.S. Army and was post surgeon at A.P. Hill Military Reservation. After an internship at St. Luke's Hospital in Bethlehem, PA, he came to Nashville to do his residency in radiology at the Veterans Administration Hospital, where he was Chief Radiology Resident from 1949 to 1950. Thereafter, he joined the radiology practice, then known as McClure, Lanier, Ivie and Beveridge. The practice grew and ultimately became Radiology Associates, now known as Radiology Alliance, P.C. John practiced medicine for more than 50 years and was a member of the radiology faculty at Vanderbilt Medical School from 1950 until his retirement there as Professor of Radiology and Radiological Science, Emeritus, in 1995. He served on the hospital staffs at Veterans Administration Hospital, General Hospital, St. Thomas Hospital, Baptist Hospital and Vanderbilt Hospital. John was a past President of the Middle Tennessee Heart Association and formerly a board member of the Davidson County Cancer Society, a member of the Nashville Rotary Club, the Nashville Chamber of Commerce, the Advisory Committee for the Medical Alumni Association of The University of Virginia, Belle Meade Country Club, Farmington Country Club, The University Club and a member and former Deacon at Westminster Presbyterian Church. John was a dedicated and caring physician who was highly respected in his field. Married about 1942 to Reed Munson (1921-2003), he was a resident of Nashville, Tennessee and 97 years old when he passed away on May 28, 2014. He was preceded in death by his wife; his granddaughter Anne Taylor Beveridge; his parents; and six brothers and sisters.
