[Bourbon County]  [Paris City and Precinct]

DANIEL ROCHE, grocer; P. O. Paris.  Among the enterprising young business
men of Paris, who contribute by their business industry to the commercial
interest of Bourbon County, and though commencing less than a score of
years past, and upon his own resources, yet he has outstripped and
surpassed many of the old pioneer business men of the place that were
doing business years before he was born.  The above was born Nov. 26,
1852, in Millersburg Precinct; the eldest son of a family of four
children; his parents were Florence and Mary (Stack) Roche, both natives
of Kerry County, Ireland, and emigrated to Kentucky about the year 1848.
Florence Roche was a stone cutter by occupation, and plied his vocation
in this and adjoining counties up to the time of his death, which was
about the year 1858; the children born to him were: Daniel, THomas,
Bettie and Maggie.  At the age of fourteen our subject came to Paris
and engaged as a clerk, in 1865, for Messrs. Hickey & Dow, remaining
with them two years, at which time Mr. Dow purchased his partner's
interest, and he continued in Mr. Dow's employ for eleven consecutive
years; during this time, by economy he saved enough money to enable him
to embark in business for himself, making his commencement November 1878,
and has since continued.  He keeps a full line of groceries, queensware,
liquors, etc., and has built up a thriving and prosperous trade.
April 26, 1881, he married Mollie Parker, from Frankfort, Ky., daughter
of Michael and Mary (Flynn) Parker, both natives of the Emerald Isle.
He is a member of the Catholic Church.
