     BENJAMIN B. BURCH, one of the prosperous and enterprising
residents of Graves county, was born in Daviess county, Kentucky,
February 21, 1875.  He is a son of Charles M. and Rosa M. (Blincoe)
Burch, born in Nelson and Daviess counties, Kentucky, respectively. 
The paternal grandfather was Samuel Burch, while the maternal
grandfather was Benjamin B. Blincoe, and they were all of Scotch-Irish
descent.
     Charles M. Burch is a farmer of Graves county.  His political
opinions make him a Democrat, while in religion he is a Catholic. 
During the war between the north and the south he enlisted in the
Confederate army in the early part of 1864 and served until the
close of the war.  He and his wife are both living and are highly
respected residents of Graves county.  Twelve children were born to
them, namely: Mary R.; Benjamin B.; Mabel H., deceased; Julia;
Maggie W.; Susan E.; Charles R.; Henry W.; Francis C, deceased;

     Benjamin Burch was reared upon his father's farm and educated
in Graves county, and at the high school of Union county.  His first
business venture was in conducting a general merchandise business at
Fancy Farm, and he met with fair success.  His beginnings were with
small capital, but he now owns and operates a fine drug store in the
little village.  He is a good Democrat and a member of the Catholic
church.
