  C. W. JOSEPH, son of Thomas and Sarah A. (Riley) Joseph was born in
Montgomery, Ala., February 8, 1859; reared in Montgomery, and educated there and
at Auburn College. He spent some years in the Montgomery Mills with his father,
and about six years on a farm. He came to Decatur in January, 1887, and engaged
in the real estate and commission business, and is now a stockholder in both the
land companies and banks of the town.

  Mr. Joseph was married in January, 1881, to Miss Mattie E. Jackson, daughter
of Dr. W. E. and Fannie (Bibb) Jackson, of Montgomery.

  They have three children: Mattie, Thomas and Charles W. Mr. Joseph is a Knight
of Pythias.

  Thomas Joseph was born on the Island of Florico, in the Azores, and came to
Montgomery, Ala., about 1842, where he became a merchant, and proprietor of the
Montgomery Mills. He operated the mills during and since the war, and sold them
to his son. In 1874 he organized the Capital City Insurance Company, and was
elected its president, a position which he held until his death in 1883. This
insurance company ranks among the strongest in the South. Mr. Joseph was also a
director of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad. He was the father of seven
children; was a successful business man, and accumulated a large property by his
personal exertions.
