SOLOMON D. FUTRELL

     The father of this patriarch among the farmers of Graves county,
Kentucky, was John Futrell, who was born in North Carolina in 1780.  He
came to Trigg county, Kentucky, in 1797, and became a successful farmer and
tobacco-raiser.  He lived to be ninety-three years old, and died in 1873.
His wife was Lizzie Deloach, who was born in North Carolina in 1783, and
died when our subject was a small boy.  Their children were:  Francis
Futrell, who died in 1846; Cullen, who was a farmer of Trigg county,
Kentucky, and also died in 1846; Charlotte, died in 1850; Perry was a

Anna, the wife of Maliciah Cooper, a carpenter of Trigg county, died in

     Solomon D. Futrell was born to these parents in Trigg county,
Kentucky, June 4, 1820.  After receiving his educational training, he
devoted himself to farming, and for many years successfully carried on that
calling in Trigg county, but in 1892 moved to Graves county and bought a
farm four miles south of Mayfield, where he now resides, enjoying to the
utmost the respect of his neighbors, and passing the remaining days of his
life in peace and contentment.
     In 1846 Mr. Futrell married Miss Clarisa Futrell, and a large family
was born of the union.  The son, Cullen H., is a farmer of Graves county;
Annie married Zachariah Hayden, a farmer of Graves county; Rufus, who was a

Albert T. lives at Paducah, Kentucky; Alfred D. is a farmer in Graves
county; and Sarah Allie died in 1879.  Mr. Futrell has, by these children,
thirty-five grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren, so that he is
honored as the head of four generations of worthy citizens of the old
Bluegrass state.  His wife died in 1888, aged fifty-eight.
