THOMAS MALCOLM
BLAKE
July 18, 1917 to Aug. 26, 1989
This monument stand in front of the birthplace of Dr. Thomas Malcolm Blake (1917 - 1989). And near the site of his office where, for forty-seven years, he devoted his life to helping others. Dr. Blake's birthplace was formerly the residence of the founder of Double Springs, Andrew Jackson Ingle.

Dr. Malcolm Blake was a perfect model for the legendary country doctor. Day or night, in fair or foul weather, he spent his entire adult life providing medical care for the citizens of this area. This memorial is dedicated to Dr. Blake's life and work.

His listing on Find-A-Grave provided little in way of new information, but is interesting to compare photos there and here.
