He soon moved to Kentucky, taught
school, read law, was admitted to
the bar in 1888. The next year he
came here to practice his profession,
achieved front rank therein. In an
other year he married Miss Jane

theirs lie under a stone out in Odd
Fellows Cemetery. He was a leader
Of the Wing party and a for con-

Democratic candidate. However, sin
1852 the States Democratic Legis-
lature chose him as United States

spirit, legal ability, craftsmanship,
as well as his courtesy and genial
personality all combining to make
him one of the best loved of both
parties and all classes of people,"
He moved from here in 1858 to Vic

was elected a member of the Miss

seven delegates to the Provisional

of the Confederate Congress made
him a Colonel of Cavelry and he
was appointed a member of the
permanent military court, its duties
keeping him in Richmond during
the Civil War. Returning to Vicks-
burg after the war his sound judge
ment and attractive personality en-
abled him to soften the rigors of
military rule. He died there in the
year 1869. His home here was on the
