Physician & Surgeon.
As did his older brother, Dr Lafayette Guild, Dr James Guild, Jr, followed the footsteps of their father by pursuing a career in medicine. He took the same educational path as Lafayette, seven years behind him, graduating from Univ of Alabama in 1852, then from Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, in 1855.
He also served the CSA, initially enlisting in 1861 as a private, but soon was appointed an Assist Surgeon, then Surgeon, as which served in the Army of Northern Virginia.
On May 30, 1867, he married Margaret A Bennett in Brazoria County, Texas. At first they lived in Texas, where their first two children, Nellie and Charles, were born. By the time of the birth of of their third child, Bessie, in 1873, they were living in his home town of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where he practiced medicine until 1877, when he moved to Tennessee, near his uncle, Judge Jo C Guild, to practice medicine. He later returned to Tuscaloosa, where he died at his home of an apparent heart attack. Obituaries indicate that he was buried in Tuscaloosa, presumably in the family plot at Evergreen Cemetery, near his parents and his daughter, Bessie. The base of a missing headstone is located alongside The military headstone of his brother, Joseph Conn Guild; this is likely the site of the internment of Dr James Guild, Jr.
His brothers Joseph and Walter and sister Ellen were buried in unmarked graves. In 1935, Mrs Hettie Powers of Tuscaloosa applied for Military headstones for Joseph and Walter, who were never married.
