[Bourbon County]    [Hutchinson Precinct]

E. G. BEDFORD, farmer, P. O. Paris.  Prominent among the beautiful
country homes in Bourbon County, is "Woodland Villa" comprised of 675
acres of fine Blue Grass land, and the home and pride of its owner, Mr.
E. G. Bedford, who was born August 24, 1814, in Bourbon County, and is
the son of Littleberry and Mattie Clay Bedford, and grandson of Thomas
Bedford, who was born and died in Charlotte County, Virginia; Littleberry
Bedford being a native of the same county, but came to Bourbon County when
it still contained a fair population of Indians.  Mr. Bedford has been
twice married, the alliance both times being with families equal in
prominence and reputation.  His first marriage was in 1836, to Miss
Margaret T. Garrard, daughter of General James Garrard, and granddaughter
of Governor Garrard.  His second marriage was to Miss Lucy D. Reid, on the
13th of Sept. 1870.  They have but one child living, born of their union on
Dec. 10, 1873.  For many years Mr. Bedford was counted among the most
prominent and extensive breeders of fine shorthorns, but on Oct. 28, 1874,
he sold at public sale most of his herd, which brought him almost unequaled
prices.  His best sale while in the business was a bull at $7,000.  For
twenty-five or thirty years he was on of the Directors of the Bourbon
County Fair and Agricultural Association.  He was formerly a Whig in
politics, but now claims to be an Independent Democrat.  Mrs. Bedford is a
position she maintains, as the wife of one of Bourbon county's leading
citizens.
