Baxter was educated in the common schools of his native county, in Tennessee, reared to the duties of farm life, and there remained until twenty one years of age. He then began the study of dentistry, and graduated at Vanderbilt School of Dentistry, in 1879. The same year he came to Monticello and practiced his profession, until the fall of 1887, when he engaged in mercantile pursuits, and this he has since carried on.
