History of Bourbon, Scott, Harrison and Nicholas Counties, Kentucky, ed. by William Henry Perrin, O. L. Baskin & Co., Chicago, 1882. p. 579. [Bourbon County] [Ruddel's Mills Precinct] W. J. KISER, farmer, P. O. Shawhan, is a descendant of one of Bourbon County's early pioneers; his father, James P. Kiser, is the son of John Kiser. James P. was born March 18, 1828, and now owns and resides on the farm of 283 acres, owned by his father and grandfather; much of his attention has been devoted to the breeding of fine stock, of which he makes thoroughbred Southdown sheep a specialty. June 5, 1852, he married Miss Lucetta, daughter of Jesse and Ingbaur Current, of Bourbon County; six children have been born to them, of whom W. J. is the oldest. Mr. Kiser is a member of the order of A.F. & A.M., and a Democrat; his son, W. J., whose name heads this sketch, was married April 11, 1878, to Miss Nannie K. Remington, daughter of B. F. Remington, of Paris, Ky.; two children have been born to them: Frank P. and William S. The Kisers are well known and respected in Bourbon County as an enterprising, industrious, and intelligent people; and although W. J. is still a young man, he has already made the most of his opportunities and is a worthy representative of his ancestors.
