William E. Buie graduated from Oakland College and the Medical Department of Louisiana and practiced at Union Church. Although enfeebled at an early age, he enlisted in the Confederate Army and tended the wounded for three consecutive days and nights following the Battle of Shiloh. General Bragg offered him the highest medical position in the army, but due to illness suffered in the Kentucky campaign, he declined to accept. He moved to Texas with his brother, I. N. Buie, and practiced in the Milford area. While attending to a patient during a visit with his sister, Mrs. Calvin Blue, in Mississippi, he contracted pneumonia and died. An esteemed scholar of his time, he could read Greek, Hebrew, and German, and was offered professorships at the medical schools at Galveston, and New Orleans. After his death, Rev. J. A. Smylie of Milford, Texas, wrote "From his birth, he breathed in his father's family an atmosphere of piety, and his early religious education impressed upon his mind convictions of truth which subsequent knowledge of science served to deaden and rendered more enlightened and enlarged. It is not known that any overt act of his life was inconsistent with Christian character. Re was never known to be betrayed into an expression of anger or to speak an unkind, harsh, or censorious word of any person."
