My Genealogy Hound

T. B. Remy, farmer and stock raiser, is one of the prominent residents of Maxey Township, where he has 160 acres of land, with about eighty acres under cultivation. He was born in Washington County, Ark., and came with his parents to this county when about six years of age. They remained in this county until 1884, and here the father died. The parents were both natives of Kentucky, and in their family were ten children, seven now living. The mother is still living, and is a resident of California. Their son, T. B. Remy, is the third child in order of birth, and like his father is a tiller of the soil. About the time he was ready for school his father was crippled, and he was obliged to assist in making a living, consequently his educational advantages were limited. He was married in Franklin County, in 1869, to Miss Betsey A. Wagner, daughter of Mark H. and Mary A. Wagner, and a native of Crawford County, Tenn., born in 1843. This union resulted in the birth of four children: Jesse, Cyrus, Thomas and Richard. Mr. Remy commenced life a poor man, but by industry, and with the assistance of his admirable wife, has overcome all difficulties, and is now one of the prosperous farmers of the county. He is a Democrat in his political opinions, and an excellent citizen.
