Jessamine Co.

J. W. OVERSTREET, son of Capt. Samuel R. and Martha Overstreet, was born
near his present home at Little Hickman, Jessamine Co., Ky., April 8, 1848;
he removed with his parents to Nicholasville in September, 1860, his father
having been elected jailer of Jessamine County.  In 1862 he had a severe
spell of typhoid fever, which caused a total deafness.  He attended the
institute for the deaf and dumb at Danville twelve months in 1865-66 and
learned the dear [sic] and dumb manual, but had received a slight education
before.  He returned with his father to his present home in 1867, learned
the carpenter's trade and worked at it until his father put up a store.  He
was married to Miss Sallie Knight November 16, 1871, but the marriage not
being a happy one they separated, she going to Missouri and dying there.
One son, J. H. Overstreet, was born to them, now fourteen years old.  J. W.
Overstreet clerked in his father's store until the latter's death.  He was
appointed postmaster at Little Hickman some ten years since, and has held
the office with credit ever since.  He is almost self educated, and writes
for various newspapers.  His second marriage was to Miss Lizzie Crutchfield
December 13, 1882; they had one child, Beatrice.  Mr. Overstreet owns
eighty-two acres of good farm land eight miles southeast of Nicholasville.
