B.F. Wyatt
Goodspeed's History of Southeast Missouri
Biographies of Scott County, 1888
Dr. B.F. Wyatt, an intelligent and enterprising young physician of Sikeston, Mo., was born in Johnson County, that State, in November, 1859. He is a son of Benjamin B. and Sarah A. (Mansfield) Wyatt, both of whom were natives of Caldwell County, Ky. Benjamin B. Wyatt was a farmer and slave-trader, and spent the most of his life in his native State. He removed to Johnson County, Mo., and resided several years. He died in 1873, and his wife in 1867. The subject of this sketch being young when his parents died, was cared for by John B. Bowman, ex-mayor of East St. Louis, who was assassinated in November 1885. Mayor Bowman gave Dr. Wyatt all the advantages of a good education. He graduated at the St. Louis University when he was seventeen years of age, after which he began the study of medicine, and graduated from the medical department of the University of Louisville, Ky., in 1881. He immediately came to Sikeston, where he has since been located in the practice of his profession. His practice is now large and lucrative and is increasing each year. In September, 1884, he was united in marriage with India Carpenter, a native of Ripley, Tenn.
