JOHN B. DAY, formerly a farmer, now residing in the town of
Clinton was born and reared in Hickman county.  He was born September
11, 1863, and is a son of Alpheus I., and Nancy (Woosley) Day.  His
father was born in Mecklenburg county, Virginia, and his mother in
Bedford, Tennessee.  His paternal grandfather was John Day, also a
native of Mecklenburg county, Virginia, and of English lineage. His
maternal grandfather, James Woosley, was a native of Tennessee, of 
German descent.
     Our subject's father settled in Graves county, Kentucky, about
1837, and lived there till about 1860, at which time he removed to
Hickman county, settling about three and a half miles southeast of
Clinton.  Here John B.  Day was reared, and was given only a common
school education.  In 1886 he married Miss Hettie Elliott, and on the
farm on which Mr. Day was born and reared and still owns, he settled 
down in life, taking up the pursuit of farming, which he best understood.
Here he continued to reside till in the spring of 1903, when he removed
his family to the town of Clinton that his children might have better
educational advantages than the country schools afforded them.
     Mrs. Day, like her husband, is a native of Hickman county.  Her
parents were James and Margaret (Bard) Elliott, both natives of 
Kentucky, and are now deceased.  They were the parents of eight 
children, of whom Mrs. Day is the youngest but one.
     To Mr. and Mrs. Day have been born four children, namely: Lula,
born October  24, 1897: Nancy A., born December 28, 1892: James, born
July 21, 1897: and Taylor B.,born November 7, 1901.  Both Mr. and Mrs. 
Day are members of the Methodist Episcopal church, South.  He is a
Democrat in politics, and is numbered among the leading citizens of his
county.
