[Bourbon County]  [Paris City and Precinct]

L. P. MUIR, auctioneer and fine stock raiser; P. O. Paris; this
well-known gentleman, whose fame as a successful salesman and judge of
fine stock, is as wide as the "Blue Grass Region" itself, was born at
Hutchinson Station, this county, in the year 1844; son of Col. Samuel
and Sena (Dawson) Muir, to whom were born nine children, six of whom
came to the years of maturity--three sons and three daughters; of the
sons L. P. is the eldest; John W., James V. are next in order; the
daughters are Mary, who married Milton G. Barlow, of Toledo, Ohio;
Alice, married V. Dickerson, of Franklin County; Sena became the wife of
Ralph Nelson, and resides in this county.  The father of our subject
was a son of Samuel Muir, who was a native of Scotland.  Samuel, Jr.,
was in command of the militia for several years, and thus gained the
title of colonel.  He died in 1854; his wife, six years later.  Since
attaining his manhood's years, he has been engaged in the breeding and
growing of fine stock, his partiality being in the direction of short
horns, of which he is an excellent judge and thoroughly understands
the short horn family, and is now the proprietor and publisher of the
"Short-Horn Record" which office he took charge of in 1880, and since
1872 he has been engaged as salesman and auctioneer, having a wide
reputation as a lucrative business in the line of his profession. In
1879, he married Alice Clark, by whom he has one child: Lewis C.
Mr. Muir is a member of the I.O.O.F. and of the A.F. & A.M., also of
the Royal Arch Chapter.
