WILLIAM S. WYATT, one of the wide awake farmers and leading citizens of
Todd County, was born June 26, 1844, in Todd County, Ky.  His parents were
Finis and Catherine (Brock) Wyatt, natives of Todd County, Ky., and North
Carolina respectively, and of English descent.  Subject's advantages for an
education were not good; he was unable to write until after he became of
age, but by his shrewdness and activity has made life a success.  He was
reared on a farm, and with the exception of the seven years he worked in
a tan-yard has been engaged in farming, also in tobacco trading.  He has
a store near his residence for the accommodation of the community in which
he lives; he owns 245 acres of land, mostly improved, with comfortable
buildings, etc.  Mr. Wyatt was married January 17, 1867, to Altegara J.
Tatum, of Todd County, Ky., a native of Christian County, and daughter of
William and Jurinda (Siveley) Tatum, natives of Culpeper County, Va.  The
grandparents were Joseph and Lydia (Hill) Tatum, of English and German
descent, respectively, and Joseph and Elizabeth (Harry) Siveley.  To this
union were born eleven children, eight living: Barbara L., Ida C.,
Thomas E., Rosa A., Finis S., Gertrude, Harry Field, Maggie F.; of the
three dead one received a name--Marvin.  Subject and wife are active
members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.  He has been superintendent of
the Sabbath-school for the past eight years.  He takes great interest in
educating his children, and in cultivating a happy home.  His hospitality
is unexcelled.
