[Bourbon County]  [Paris City and Precinct]

R. W. O'CONNOR, government store-keeper; P. O. Paris; first saw the light
of day Jan. 1846, in Roscommon County, Ireland, son of John O'Connor and
Mary Kenney.  When two years of age, he emigrated to America, his father
locating in Dryden, Tompkins County, N. Y., where our subject attained his
manhood, having received the advantages of the village school; he, though
young, had some experience as a teacher.  He came to Kentucky, and
arrived in Paris in the spring of 1866, an entire stranger.  He engaged
as a clerk for Mr. Nippert, and remained in his employ for thirteen years,
losing no time, working seven days in the week.  He has been three times
elected Councilman, and in 1874, while yet a clerk, was elected Mayor of
Paris, serving four years with credit to himself, and to the satisfaction
of the citizens.  His firmness and decision, as well as his impartiality in
the discharge of his duties, made him a popular officer.  Since 1879 he has
been in Government employ as a store keeper.  By his industry and economy
he has acquired considerable property, which yields him a reasonable
income.  He is a member of the Catholic Church; in politics a Republican;
is a member of the fire company, which mainly through his instrumentality,
has been brought to its present excellent condition.
