W. L. S. BRACKIN, deputy clerk, Ohio County, is the
only child of James B. and Eliza B. Brackin, and a grandson of William Brackin,
who emigrated from North Carolina to Sumner County, Tenn., many years ago. His
parents were persons of intelligence and good sense. The mother was born April
14, 1808, and died March 16, 1862, and the father was born in Tennessee in
1801, and died August 16, 1874. W. L. S. Brackin was born in Henry County of
the same State, in 1825; was brought up in Sumner County. His advantages for an
early education were somewhat limited, but he improved the opportunities he had
by reading and study, and became in latter life a man of wide information. He
also obtained a fair knowledge of business, and many years ago was elected
deputy clerk of Ohio County, which office he has held continuously since. He is
widely known for his strict honesty and fair dealing. He owns a good farm on
the Rosine and Pinchico road, about two miles and a half from Cromwell, Ohio
County. He is a member of the Cromwell Masonic Lodge and is a life-long
Democrat. On his mother's side he is descended from the Searcys, a very
prominent and influential family, many, of whom reside in Arkansas.
