Lawrence County

ARNOLDUS J. GARRED, circuit clerk of his native county of Lawrence, Ky., was
born July 24, 1856, and is a son of David W. and Nancy (Dyer) Garred, also
native of Lawrence County.  His grandfather, David Garred, born 1771, was a
native of Virginia, but one of the earliest settlers of Lawrence County,
Ky., and grandfather Owen W. Dyer came somewhat later.  David W. Garred was
born in 1823, and resides eight miles above Louisa on a farm of about
thirteen hundred acres.  Arnoldus J. remained on this farm until nineteen
years of age, when he became deputy clerk under George F. Johnson, county
and circuit clerk.  In August, 1880, he was elected first circuit clerk by a
majority of about 1,500, and was re-elected in 1886.  October 12, 1885, he
married Miss Jennie L. Vinson, daughter of R.F. Vinson, a lawyer of Louisa.
Mr. Garred is a Freemason and a Democrat, and holds an interest in the
Chattaroi Hotel.
