WILLIAM A. VEST first saw the light of day in the good old county of
Boone, May 23, 1850.  He is a son of John A. and Emily (Holder) Vest.
His father was a farmer, and he was reared on a farm, getting his 
schooling in the country schools of Boone County.  On the 10th of 
October, 1888, he was married to Miss Hulda Points, daughter of Hon. 
William Points, of Sherman.  To this union one child, a winsome girl of 
nine, has been born.  William Vest was born a Democrat and has remained 
true to the teachings of his youth.  He never "scratches" a ticket and 
never fails to vote his sentiments.  He resides in the old Points 
homestead, and owns one of the finest farms in Grant County.  His 
father-in-law, the Hon. William Points, makes his home with him.  He is 
a pillar of Mount Zion Baptist Church and an all around good citizen, 
whom all are glad to know.
