John Quincy Brantley, M. D.
It is doubtful if any one family has contributed more able members of the medical profession to Georgia during the last fifty or sixty years than that bearing the name Brantley. Dr. John Q. Brantley, who for a number of years has been prominent in professional circles at Atlanta, is only one of a numerous relationship that has been identified with the same profession, and he may properly be said to come from a family of doctors, both his father and grandfather before him having done their part in alleviating pain and suffering among a large circle of patients in their respective communities of Georgia. Born on a farm in Gwinnett County, Georgia. November 25, 1880, John Quincy Brantley is a son of the late Dr. Quincy Lucius Brantley and a grandson of Dr. L. G. Brantley. Dr. L. G. Brantley, who was a well known practitioner and for many years a resident of Social Circle, Georgia, had three sons and one daughter who adopted the same profession. Their names were: Dr. James P. Brantley, of Atlanta; Dr. William A. Brantley, of Lithonia, Georgia; Dr. Lucy McCullough, now deceased; and Dr. Quincy L. Brantley, also deceased. Quincy L. Brantley's professional services were chiefly performed in Gwinnett County. He died in Cobb County, February 19, 1898, as a result of injuries received in a railroad accident. His widow, whose maiden name was Sarah J. Hutchins, was born and reared in Gwinnett County and is now living with her son Dr. John Quincy at Atlanta. Pursuing the family relationship with the medical profession still further, it should be stated that Dr. John Q. Brantley has a brother, Dr. Henry Grady Brantley, also numbered among Atlanta's physicians, while one of his cousins is Dr. James L. K. Brantley, also of Atlanta.
John Quincy Brantley grew up in Gwinnett County, and from early years his education was directed with a view to his entering the medical profession. In 1898 he graduated from the Roswell High School, and in 1905 from the Georgia College of Eclectic Medicine and Surgery at Atlanta. Subsequently in 1909 he received a degree from the Hospital Medical College of Atlanta. Since 1905 he has been actively engaged in the practice of medicine at Atlanta. In addition to his private practice he also filled other engagements, and during 1910-11 was Professor of Obstetrics in the Hospital Medical College and is now Professor of the Practice of Medicine in the Georgia College of Eclectic Medicine and Surgery.
He is a member of the Georgia State Eclectic Medical Association and the National Eclectic Medical Association, has fraternal affiliations with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Junior Order of United American Mechanics, and is a member of the Baptist Church. In 1903 Doctor Brantley married Miss Maud Lillian Tinney, who died November 30, 1914, leaving one child, John Q. Brantley, Jr., now eight years of age.
