A. J. SLACK was born in Louisville June 13, 1853, and is the youngest son
of J. T. and Sarah (Waller) Slack.  The father was born in Bullitt County,
Ky., in June, 1819; removed to Louisville when it was but a small place,
and was engaged in the coal trade for several years.  In 1856 he removed
to Union County, and for seventeen years was engaged in farming and stock
raising.  He then made a visit to Texas with his son A. J., but eventually
returned to Louisville where he now resides.  In 1875 A. J. Slack went
into the coal business with his father in Louisvile, but six years later
sold out and purchased his present farm of 252 acres three miles west of
Midway, Woodford County, where he is now engaged in farming and stock
raising.  He married, September 3, 1879, Miss Annie, daughter of John and
Mary (Shively) Swindler, natives of Louisville.  To this marriage were
born three children: Camilla W., Mary and John T.  Mr. Slack's paternal
grandfather was a cabinet-maker and farmer, and was named Joseph.  His
maternal grandfather was named Dempsy Waller.  Mrs. Annie Slack is a
member of the Methodist Church South.
