T.M. POWELL, Caldwell County, senior member of the large dry goods house
of Powell & Henry, was born March 17, 1848, in Henderson County, Ky., and 
is a son of Thomas W. and Elizabeth (Dorsey) Powell, of Virginia and
Kentucky, respectively.  Thomas W. Powell came with his father from 
Virginia when quite a small boy, settling in Henderson County, where he
still lives at an advanced age.  Mrs. Powell is living also.  They had
born to them twelve children: John A.; Mollie, wife of R.A. Raymond; 
Samuel H., deceased; W.S.; J.F.; Elizabeth Maggie; T.M., subject; E.R.,
deceased; Richard, deceased; Allie, deceased; Olivia and Ida.  T.M. Powell
remained in his native county until attaining his majority, receiving the
rudiments of a good education in the select schools of the country, and in
1867 entered the college at Lexington, Ky., which he attended one year,
completing the regular English course.  After leaving school he engaged
as clerk in his brother's (W.S.) store in Pettersburgh, where he remained
four years and then formed a copartnership with his brother, Edwin R.
Powell, in the mercantile business at Corydon, Henderson County, Ky.,
which continued for a period of one year.  In 1872 he came to Princeton,
and in partnership with W.S. Powell opened a large dry goods house, with
which he is still connected, his present partner being W.P. Henry, who
bought a half interest in 1875.  The firm of Powell & Henry is, perhaps,
the largest dry goods house in the county, representing a capital of
about $35,000, and doing an annual business of from $40,000 to $50,000.
Mr. Powell was married December 19, 1877, to Miss Mollie B. Farrow, of
Princeton.  Three children have been born to them: Otho P., Bessie and 
S. Banks, all of whom are living.  Mr. Powell and his wife are prominent
members of the Christian Church, at Princeton.
