William Taylor Elmore was born on June 9, 1873, in Charleston, Mississippi, to Albert Rhett Elmore and Alexina Jessie Taylor. His father earned a living as a farmer. The family moved to Alachua County, Florida, in the 1870s, and he grew up and attended school there. By 1900, he was working as an office clerk in Jacksonville, Florida. He earned his medical degree from the University of the South in 1904, and he interned at the Willard Parker Hospital in New York City.
