They were the parents of nine children, eight of whom are living: William J., Margaret A. (Lovell), our subject as above, Josh Bell, Edward, Henry B., Mary J. and Minnie A. Our subject's grandparents, Joseph Eubank and his wife, were natives of Virginia; they early emigrated to Kentucky and located in Columbia, in Adair County, where he carried on that blacksmith's trade for many years. He died in the year 1841, at the age of forty-five years. William A., at an early age, began to learn the trade of a carriage-maker; his early education was limited to the common schools, where he laid the foundation for a good business education, which he afterward improved by appliction to business and home reading, until his nineteenth year, when he entered the Edmonton Male and Female Academy, where he studied for sixteen months with Prof. J. Tom Williams. After leaving school he resumed work at his trade in connection with his other business, but discontinued the grocery trade in 1883. Mr. Eubank is a member of the Presbyterian Church. In politics he is a Republican; was appointed county commissioner in 1881, which office he now fills with honor to himself and to the satisfaction of his constituents.
