volunteered in Col. Giltner's Fourth Kentucky Cavalry, was captured at
Rheatown, Tenn., in October, 1863, and held prisoner at Camp Chase for two
years.  He returned to the old homestead, and in 1880 was elected
magistrate of the Milton District, in which capacity he served six years.
August 12, 1875, he married Miss Lucy, daughter of the later William R.
Duncan, of Trimble County.  Three children have been born to this union:
Kate, Sallie and Jennie.  Mr. Strother is now general agent in Carroll,
