S. H. BIRD.  The Dry Ridge Roller Mills, owned by J. A. Judy, would not
look natural or be run property were it not for S. H. Bird, who has for
more than fifteen years with brief intermission operated and conducted
the said mills. He is an expert miller, and a good fellow, and more than
that, always willing to work.  S. H. Bird is a son of Thomas and
Elizabeth Bird, and was born in the county of Kenton, March 17th, 1847. 
There were ten children, seven boys and three girls, in his father's 
family, and all are yet living.  Mr. Bird was raised on a farm but early
in life learned the trade of millwright.  In 1878 he began his trade as 
the operator of the Knoxville Roller Mills, which he continued to 
operate for four years.  In 1886 he came to Dry Ridge, and was in charge
of the roller mills at that place for nine years.  He then went to 
Morgan Station and ran the new roller mill at that place for three 
years, and then returned to Dry Ridge, and has been in charge for three 
years.
     March 13th, 1870, he was united in marriage to Miss Fannie Mann. 
To this union eight children have been born, of whom three are yet 
living.  Mr. Bird is a member of the Baptist Church, and belongs to the 
subordinate lodge, I.O.O.F., the Encampment of Odd Fellows, and the Red 
Men, and is an active member of all these lodges.
