from The History of Hendricks County (Indianapolis: B.F. Bowen & Co., 1914)--pages 631-632:
Aubrey C. Pebworth, M.D. - The man who devotes his talents and energies to the noble work of ministering to the ills and alleviating the sufferings of humanity /s pursuing a calling which in dignity, importance and beneficial results is second to none other. If true to his profession and earnest in his efforts to enlarge his sphere of usefulness, he is indeed a benefactor of his kind, for to him more than any other man are intrusted the safety, the comfort, and, in many cases, the lives of those who place themselves under his care and profit by services. It is gratifying to note in the series of personal sketches appearing in this work that there remain many native sons who are maintaining the prestige of their county in other fields. Many have gone to other parts of the state and yet they look back to Hendricks County as their real home. Among the many ctizens who were born in this county and then left for wider fields is Aubrey C. Pebworth, a successful physician in West Indianapolis.
Aubrey C. Pebworth, the son of James H. and Marcia (Carrington) Pebworth, was born near Danville, Indiana, December 28, 1877. His father was a native of Shelby County, Kentucky, and his mother spent all of her life in Hendricks County. James Pebworth came to this county with his parents when he was a small boy and followed the life of a farmer until his death, September 13, 1910. He served in the Civil War and a wound in the head which he received at the battle of Lookout Mountain was finally the cause of his death. Mr. and Mrs. James Pebworth were the parents of six children: Mrs. Morton Ellis, of Pittsboro; Mrs. Frank A. Haynes, of Pittsboro; Eva, one of the best known eachers of Hendricks County; Dr. Aubrey C., the youngest of the family, and two others who are deceased.
Doctor Pebworth received his common and high school education in the schools at Pittsboro, in his native county, and immediately after his graduation entered
the Central College of Physicians and Surgeons at Indianapolis. Upon finishing his medical couse in 1905 he at once began the practice of medicine in West ndianapolis, where he has been very successful. During the period of his
professional practice in that community, Doctor Pebworth has not only gained the respect of his confreres in his chosen fields, but has also sustained a sound reputation for uprightness and nobility of character in all the relations of life. He has realized that to those who attain determinate success in the medical profession there must not only be technical ability, but also a broad human sympathy which must pass from mere sentiment to an actuating motive for helpfulness.
Doctor Pebworth was married on August 9, 1905, to Mary Thomas, the daughter of Rev. and Mrs. E.D. Thomas, and to this happy union there have been born two children, James T. and Robert C. The Doctor is a member of the Marion County and Indiana state medical societies and is interested in all the meetings of these organizations. He is a member of the Free and Accepted Masons and also belongs to the Indianapolis Chapter of Royal Arch Masons. Politically, he is allied with the Progressive Party. In his church relations he is a member of the Christian Church, while his wife retains her connection with the Baptist denomination. Mrs. Pebworth is secretary of the Hendricks County Society for Indianapolis. She is a graduate of the teachers' course at the Central Normal College of Danville and was a teacher in the public schools before her marriage. Mr. and Mrs. Pebworth are genial and hospitable people who have gained a wide circle of friends in the community where they live.
