GEORGE W. FARLEY

     George W. Farley, one of the leading citizens of Graves county, and a
gentleman widely known and highly esteemed, is the son of William H. and
Emily (Miller) Farley, and was born in Calloway county, Kentucky, April 14,
1848.  William H. Farley was born in Virginia and his wife in Kentucky.
The only information relative to his grandparents in the possession of our
subject is the fact that his maternal grandfather was named Samuel Miller.
The father of our subject was a farmer, and made his home in Calloway
county from the time he was twenty years of age, to which locality he had
come from Virginia.  In politics he was a Democrat, while his religious
affiliations were with the Methodist church.  His death occurred in 1888,
at the age of sixty years.  His wife died in 1893, also aged sixty years.
There were eight children in their family, namely:  James II, Elizabeth,
deceased; George W., Pernecia, Josiah, Rufus T., Alice, Artimiss.
     George W. Farley was reared in Calloway county and came to Graves
county in 1876, but was educated in the former county.  As soon as he
finished his school course, he began teaching, and continued along that
line for five or six years and then engaged in farming, but for the past
fifteen years he has been in the tobacco business.  He has one hundred and
twenty acres of fine land well improved, although he started out in life a
poor man, but by industry and good management he has attained his present
prosperity.  In politics he is a Republican.  Like his father he is a
Methodist and takes an active part in its good work.  During the Civil war
he enlisted at the age of sixteen years, in 1863, in the Union army, and
was captured at Paducah by General Forrest.
     In 1870 Mr. Farley was married to Miss Ann Eliza Morton, who was born
in Calloway county, Kentucky, January 12, 1848.  Five children have been
born to Mr. and Mrs. Farley, namely:  Lola, now Mrs. Eugene Horton; Norman
Oziar; Worthy C.; Gertie, now Mrs. G.B. Boyd; and Elvie.  Mr. and Mrs.
Farley are most estimable people, and the success which has attended the
efforts of Mr. Farley is certainly well merited.
